Financial Compensation for Your Injuries in Flint
Regardless of what type of accident you were involved in, you likely have significant losses, especially if your injuries are catastrophic. Injuries lead to extensive medical costs, and those bills are enough to put your financial stability in jeopardy. Chances are you will need to recover damages just to get your finances back on stable ground.
The following are some of the damages we will help you pursue in a Flint personal injury claim:
- Pain and suffering, including emotional distress
- All accident-related medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Lost enjoyment of life
- Lost employment or employment opportunities
Other Factors that May Influence Your Personal Injury Settlement
The compensation you receive depends on more than just how serious your injuries are and how much money you have lost. We help clients navigate additional challenges like:
- The accident-related passing of a loved one. You can file a wrongful death lawsuit instead of or in addition to your personal injury case. A wrongful death could entitle you to funds for, among other things, loss of companionship and funeral costs.
- The insurance company’s response. Insurers are often hostile to the idea of paying damages and resist cases like yours as hard as they can. They might even try to manipulate you into giving up fair compensation.
- Allegations of neglect on your part. Per Mich. Comp. Laws Ann. § 600.2959, being accused of contributing to your own injuries could reduce how much money you recover. A strong casefile can protect you against such accusations.
- The statute of limitations. This law, found at Mich. Comp. Laws Ann. § 600.5805, only allows you to seek compensation for accidents that occurred within the past three years. Otherwise, you are ineligible for damages.
- Whether you are eligible for exemplary damages. These are very rare and awarded only in cases where the at-fault party displayed particularly egregious behavior. If applicable to your case, these damages can significantly increase your total award.

How Our Personal Injury Attorneys Help Flint Clients
Being injured in an accident is among the worst of life’s experiences. Your injuries could be extremely painful, they could leave you with limited mobility, and they could also stick you with a pile of medical debt.
If you did not cause your injury, you should not have to pay for all these losses. When your accident was the result of someone else’s negligence, you can seek compensation from them. Our Flint personal injury lawyer can support you in this matter by:
- Taking the time to get to know you as an individual and familiarize ourselves with your situation
- Listening to your goals and concerns so that we can figure out a way to handle your case that will address your most pressing needs
- Approaching each case as if it will go to trial, meaning that we take your situation seriously and always prepare ourselves for every eventuality
- Identifying the at-fault party and your case’s worth by collecting and analyzing all relevant evidence, including police reports, medical records, and video footage
- Negotiating with the insurer for enough compensation to cover all of your past, present, and future losses
- Providing legal advice as often as you ask for it, enabling you to understand what options are on the table and make the best possible decisions for your family

The Different Types of Personal Injury Cases Our Flint Team Handles
You may be wondering whether you have a case for a Flint personal injury claim. The key to filing a lawsuit for personal injury has more to do with whether the injury was caused by negligence than what type of injury it involves. Still, it can be helpful to categorize your injury type.
The following is a general list of personal injury case types, but remember: no matter what caused your injury, if carelessness played a role, you may have a case:
- Premises Liability – This type of personal injury case involves being injured on someone’s property or at a business in Flint. A dangerous condition, such as spilled liquids or tripping hazards, must have been left uncorrected. Dog bite cases and slip and fall accidents fall under this type of case.
- Motor Vehicle Collisions – Car crashes can occur due to distracted or drowsy driving, speeding, or tailgating. Motor vehicle accident claims often include motorcycle accidents and 18-wheeler collisions.
- Electrocutions and Other Work Accidents – Electricity can cause serious injuries, particularly on construction sites. If someone’s negligence led to your electrocution or a different kind of accident at work, you can seek damages.
Who to Sue After an Injury in Flint
As you may imagine, with so many different kinds of accidents, there is an equally wide range of potential liable parties. A liable party is anyone who owes others a duty of care and then violates that duty through careless or reckless behavior. Your lawsuit might target:
- Drivers who ignore basic traffic laws
- Property owners who do not keep their land or buildings in good repair
- Employers who push their workers to violate safety regulations in order to make larger profits
- Local governments that fail to keep roadways safe
By diligently investigating your case, we will find who is responsible for your suffering and work together to hold them accountable for their actions.
