Personal injury cases, such as medical malpractice and auto accidents, can be extremely complex. These types of personal injury cases require strict attention to detail, complete understanding of the law, and excellent communication skills to dialog with the victim.
With that in mind, let’s look at the ways that an experienced Michigan personal injury attorney can help your medical malpractice or motor vehicle accident case…
Professionalism and Objectivity. These cases can result in a significant amount of pain, stress, and raw emotions for the victims. With this physical trauma and emotional suffering, a victim may have trouble making objective decisions concerning the accident or injury. An experienced personal injury attorney will be in charge of your case, initiating a personal injury claim on your behalf. They will also leverage their knowledge, skills, and experience to help you see a successful outcome in your case—either an equitable settlement or jury verdict award.
Qualified Legal and Medical Analysis. An experienced personal injury attorney will use their legal knowledge in this area of law. This includes a complete understanding of Michigan medical practices and standards. They will provide you with an accurate evaluation of the merits of your claim and a strategy to move forward in seeking just compensation.
Investigation. An experienced personal injury attorney has worked with hospitals, healthcare providers, insurance companies, and other parties to get vital information for your case. Your attorney will use their contacts in the community to collect information about the responsible party and their insurance coverage. An experienced personal injury attorney has worked with insurance claims adjusters and investigators, so they know what they they’re looking for and how they’ll negotiate.
Negotiation. After an injury happens as the result of an auto accident or issue in medical treatment and personal injury claims have been filed, the personal injury attorney will negotiate on your behalf with the offending party’s insurance company to make certain you receive just compensation. Negotiating with insurance companies can be very intimidating for individuals who are recovering. Claims adjusters have ways to persuade victims to accept their first offer; however, this will undoubtedly be the lowest offer. A seasoned personal injury attorney will use their years of experience with these types of claims to get you the compensation you deserve.
Locating a Compelling Expert Witness. Employing an expert witness like a physician or surgeon happens regularly in medical malpractice cases, and you may require an accident reconstructionist if you’re a victim of an car crash. An expert can be essential to a successful outcome, so an experienced personal injury attorney will find the right expert to help win your case.
Understanding Michigan Law and the Applicable Standards of Care. Personal injury law varies from state to state, and it will include specific standards for negligence claims. An experienced personal injury attorney will be intimately familiar with the personal injury and negligence laws of Michigan, and be able to accurately apply them to your case.
Faster Compensation. Without an experienced personal injury attorney, you’ll be forced to wait until you’ve recovered enough to begin the personal injury settlement process. As a result, the odds are good that it’ll take much longer to receive a settlement. Contact an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible after your accident or when you think there may be an issue with your medical treatment or procedure. Your attorney can then file the personal injury claims on your behalf as you recover and work for a quick resolution.
Peace of Mind. An issue with medical treatment or a serious motor vehicle accident can cause fatalities, post-traumatic stress, or extreme emotional trauma. Monitoring every aspect of your personal injury claim at that time may be very stressful. But if you hire a personal injury lawyer after you’ve been injured, they will handle all the complexities your claim, allowing you to have peace of mind so you can concentrate on your recovery.
