Brain Injury Causes and Liability
Financial responsibility for your TBI will depend on what caused your injury. However, we assist with Ann Arbor brain injury claims and lawsuits resulting from various accidents, including the following:
- Motor vehicle accidents – According to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), 30 percent of TBIs statewide result from car crashes. So, we can help you pursue a No-Fault insurance claim and explore your options for seeking compensation from a negligent driver. In addition, we help clients injured in car and motorcycle accidents, including pedestrians and bicyclists injured by motor vehicles.
- Commercial vehicle accidents – Cases involving large trucks, semis, and other commercial motor vehicles can become complicated because of applicable state and federal trucking regulations and multiple liable parties. We can take legal action against an at-fault truck driver, trucking company, shipping company, property owner, or anyone else responsible for your losses.
- Slip and falls – We’ll help you fight negligent residential or commercial property owners for hazardous conditions leading to a slip and fall injury. Our firm also handles other premises liability issues, such as fires and swimming pool accidents.
- Workplace accidents – Our Ann Arbor, MI, brain injury attorneys can help if your TBI occurred because of a fall, construction accident, or another workplace incident.
Start Holding Liable Parties Accountable Today
You do not have unlimited time to seek compensation for a brain injury. Instead, you must adhere to Michigan’s statutes of limitations. Failing to do so could leave you without options for recovering damages.
According to Michigan Compiled Laws § 600.5805, you have three years from your accident or loved one’s passing to sue for personal injury or wrongful death. In addition, the law allows two years to pursue a case based on malpractice. Finally, if your case involves a No-Fault insurance claim, you have one year under Michigan Compiled Laws § 500.3145 to file a lawsuit to recover personal injury protection (PIP) benefits.
Our firm can investigate your accident, prove negligence, and pursue maximum financial awards before time runs out.
