Justice in Michigan Being injured in a traumatic accident has the potential to change the course of your life forever. Personal injuries can range from broken bones to spinal damage and traumatic brain injury, and each one has unique side effects and recovery times. However, one thing remains the same between all of these injuries—no one expects them to happen. When an accident occurs, the initial shock can cause emotional pain that’s equally as difficult as the physical pain. Depending on whether you’re able to make a full recovery, the emotional distress that results from your injury can last years. On top of all that you’re going through, it’s inevitable that there will be medical expenses to cover. Unfortunately, whoever’s liable for causing your accident may not be willing to pay for the damage. The insurance companies will likely offer you a settlement that’s much less than the amount you deserve.

Fighting for What’s Right When victims end up in situations like this—physically hurt, emotionally distraught, and financially drowning—justice is NOT being served. This happens in the state of Michigan much too often, and we’re here to advocate for the rights of the injured. Everyone deserves legal representation so they can fight for the full compensation that’s rightfully theirs. Many sufferers don’t know what options they have when it comes to hiring an attorney for their personal injury claim. They think accepting a settlement from the insurance company is the best they can do, but this potentially means running out of money in a short amount of time and paying the rest of their expenses out of pocket. If your injuries were caused by someone else’s negligent actions, a lawyer can help you get all your medical expenses covered, including future expenses. In fact, you may also be able to receive compensation for non-economic damages as well, which includes


ways in which the injury has affected your lifestyle, such as pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life.

Know Your Worth Knowing what you deserve after your injury can be the first step in finding a lawyer and fighting for full compensation. The purpose of “Justice in Michigan” is to raise awareness by reporting regional news on the subject and making sure every injured individual understands their options before settling with an insurance company. While money may never fully cure the injuries you’ve experienced, it can help ease the suffering you feel emotionally and financially as you try to pick up the pieces of your life. No one should ever have to go through the trauma of a devastating accident or injury, but if there’s anyway justice can be served, we want to help make sure it happens.
