What Compensation Is Available After a Macomb, MI Crash?


The choices you made when you purchased your car insurance coverage, the severity of your injuries, and the facts of the case will all affect the recoverable damages in your Macomb, MI car accident case.

Michigan recently changed the state’s auto insurance laws and requirements. Motorists now have more options for how they manage their No-Fault auto insurance coverage, known as personal injury protection (PIP). According to the State of Michigan, a crash victim should have No-Fault coverage that includes:

  • All necessary medical care costs to the policy maximum or as provided by your health insurance coverage
  • Lost wage benefits, usually up to 85 percent of your income for a limited time
  • Replacement services for hiring someone to manage your tasks

If your medical records or medical expert witnesses show that you suffered a “serious impairment of body function,” you can also pursue compensation from the at-fault driver or another liable party. Our attorneys represent victims in these claims and lawsuits, seeking money to cover the following:

  • Pain and suffering damages, including physical pain and emotional suffering
  • Any additional current or future medical care
  • Any lost income not covered by your PIP policy
  • Diminished earning capacity if you do not return to work due to your injuries
  • Other expenses and losses due to the accident or injuries

Our Macomb, MI Injury Lawyers Build Convincing Car Accident Cases


Some crash victims will recover the money they need to pay for their care without needing to prove fault and liability in their case. However, our lawyers often represent clients with serious or catastrophic injuries.

In these cases, when we seek additional damages through a fault-based claim, we must provide evidence to show what happened and who caused the crash. This process is necessary if your injuries include serious impairments to a bodily function. These injuries could include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Amputations
  • Serious internal injuries and bleeding
  • The death of a loved one

Our lawyers have represented car accident victims in Michigan since 1991. We know how drivers cause collisions and the many things that can go wrong behind the wheel. They could drive drunk or distracted, speed, or simply act carelessly and cause a crash.

Some areas where there is heavy traffic and an increased risk of a collision in Macomb include:

  • Along Mound Road, especially at major intersections
  • Entrance and exit ramps on I-94 and I-696
  • Major intersections throughout the city

At-fault drivers could cause a crash by failing to yield and turning left in front of you, running a red light, colliding with the back of your car, or making many other careless or reckless mistakes.

Our attorneys know how to develop a case based on the cause of your accident, including gathering evidence to convince the insurance company they should pay a fair amount or be taken to court.

How Our Macomb, MI Collision Attorneys Develop a Case and Pursue Compensation


When we pursue fault-based cases for our clients, we must present evidence to show:

  • Our client suffered an injury that caused a “serious impairment of body function”
  • The at-fault driver acted negligently and caused the accident
  • The damages our client suffered

This evidence varies from case to case. However, our team has the knowledge and skill to know what to look for and how to build a convincing case to recover fair compensation. We spare no resources when we investigate a case. Some common types of evidence we use to show fault and recover compensation include:

  • The accident report filed by responding LEOs
  • Eyewitness testimony
  • Video of the crash or the scene immediately after the accident
  • Accident reconstruction
  • Medical expert witnesses
  • Medical bills, receipts, and other documentation of damages

We use this evidence to organize a strong argument for settlement negotiations or to support litigation if necessary.

Deadlines Apply When Suing the At-Fault Driver


We encourage you to call us as soon as possible after your accident because there are deadlines that apply to filing a lawsuit.

Additional deadlines could apply, and you could have more or less time to sue. Connect with our team about your case quickly after your injuries are stable and you are able to make the call.

If a lawsuit is necessary, your attorney will ensure you meet the applicable deadline. For collisions in Macomb, they will likely file your lawsuit in the Macomb County 16th Judicial Circuit Court. This court is in Mount Clemens, Michigan.
