What Can A Dearborn Lawyer Do for Your Personal Injury Case?
Our injury attorneys know you’re already dealing with a lot of stress, and it’s our goal to relieve you of some of that stress by taking on your case. Your story is important to us, and we want to make sure you’re able to tell it. Our lawyers will:
- Review all of your economic and non-economic damages to determine the full extent of your losses.
- Determine negligence and identify any liable parties
- Gather various forms of proof to help support our claims of negligence
- Communicate with insurance companies
- Negotiate a settlement offer
- Litigate your case in court if negotiations do not yield a satisfactory offer
These and other responsibilities will be ours to handle—your focus should be on resting and healing, not managing communications and negotiation court processes.

Some Common Personal Injury Case Types Our Dearborn Lawyers Handle

Some of these cases we help Dearborn residents with include:

Settlement Negotiations After an Injury in Dearborn
Filing a claim against the at-fault party means you’re requesting that the person or his or her insurance company compensate you for the negligence that led to your harm.
Whether it’s homeowners, business, or auto insurance, the insurer is there to compensate victims for property damage and personal injuries. Insurance companies aren’t always easy to deal with, though. They are businesses first and foremost, which means they like their profits as high as they can get them.
One of the ways they keep money in the bank is by paying out as little as possible on insurance claims. They will fight against every claim they can, so it’s helpful to have a Dearborn injury attorney by your side to even the playing field.
Fair Compensation for the Hardships You’re Facing
Serious injuries can lead to huge losses—some financial and some non-financial. For example, when you are seriously injured in any type of accident, it’s very likely you’ll be unable to work for a while. That means you’ll be missing out on work wages, which is considered a financial loss.
Additionally, you could be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a trauma-related mental condition that could decrease your quality of life.
Some of the damages we frequently request in Dearborn personal injury cases include:
- Pain and suffering
- Missed work wages
- Disability
- Permanent injury
- Disfigurement and scarring
- Medical costs
- Mental trauma
Every case is different, and you may have damages not listed above. Our personal injury lawyers will make sure to review your case for all losses you may have suffered.
Act Quickly to Seek Damages in Your Dearborn Case
Mich. Comp. Laws Ann. § 600.5805 gives personal injury victims three years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. This window of time also applies to wrongful death cases and begins on the date of the deceased’s passing.
We encourage you to call our firm sooner, rather than later. If you miss this deadline, you may not be able to seek damages through a lawsuit. Even if your case does not go to court, our injury lawyers can begin the proceedings for a lawsuit to protect this right to seek damages. Three years will be over before you know it, especially if you are seriously injured and spend a lot of time recovering from your injuries.
Can I Afford a Dearborn Personal Injury Attorney?

Christensen Law takes cases on a contingency-fee-basis. This means that you only pay us a portion of your settlement if we are successful. If you are not awarded a settlement or verdict, you owe us nothing. You have nothing to lose when working with our Dearborn injury lawyers, so we encourage you to reach out.
