Damages and Compensation in a Michigan Personal Injury Case

The Michigan personal injury laws allow victims to claim a variety of damages related to a personal injury. You may be entitled to substantial compensation depending on the facts and circumstances in your case. While each personal injury case is unique, some types of damages are common in most personal injury claims.

Financial Damages

Financial damages are your actual out-of-pocket costs related to the accident, your injury, and your recovery. Compensation for economic damages is intended to reimburse you for the money you lost because of the negligent acts of another party. Examples of financial damages that are common in most personal injury cases include:

Medical expenses;
Personal care;
Loss of income;
Property damage;
Medication;
Travel expenses;
Cost of medical equipment; and,
Other out-of-pocket expenses

Documenting your financial losses is very important because you must have documentation to include the amount in the value of the claim. Therefore, our legal team works closely with you to document all economic losses so that we can maximize the amount you may receive for financial damages.

Future Damages

If you suffer a permanent impairment or disability, you might also be entitled to recover compensation for future damages. The cost of ongoing medical treatment and personal care may be included as well as future lost wages. If you can work, but sustain a loss of earning capacity, you might also recover compensation for future lost income. Estimating future damages can be difficult. Our Ann Arbor personal injury lawyers work with economists, physicians, and other experts to accurately estimate the amount of your future expenses and losses.

Pain and Suffering Damages

Pain and suffering damages are your non-economic damages related to the accident. No amount of money can compensate you fully for your suffering and pain. However, the law allows for accident victims to be compensated for these damages. Examples of non-economic damages included in many personal injury claims are:

The law does not provide a formula for calculating the value of non-economic damages. Therefore, we use the facts in your case to support the amount we claim you deserve for your pain and suffering damages.

The Insurance Company Says I Am Partially to Blame for My Injury

Insurance companies often argue that victims are partially at fault for their injury to reduce the value of their claim. Under Michigan’s modified comparative fault laws, if the insurance company is successful, your compensation can be reduced. If the insurance company can prove you are 51 percent or more at fault, you cannot recover compensation for non-economic damages.

Our Ann Arbor personal injury lawyers are experienced in handling cases involving comparative negligence claims by insurance companies. We understand insurance company tactics and how to combat those tactics. To help protect your right to full compensation, do not provide a written or recorded statement to the insurance company for the other party without talking to an attorney. Also, do not sign a medical release or other documents without meeting with a personal injury attorney in Ann Arbor.

There is no doubt that both David and Matthew are exceptional attorneys. I talked to a few attorneys before calling them and I just felt like they were hiding something from me. When I talked to The Clark Law Office, they let me know exactly how my case was going to play out and didn’t sugarcoat anything which I appreciated. The result exceeded my expectations.

Jacob White

My experience with The Clark Law Office was excellent. Dave and his son are very professional, relatable, and easy to work with. My wife was hurt in a car crash and they were able to obtain a fair deal for her pain and suffering. We both really appreciate their help and will refer our family and friend their way in the future. Thanks!

David Shermana

The attorney I spoke to was very nice and understanding. I just needed some legal advice regarding my medical malpractice issue and I talked to the attorney for over 15 minutes. He listened to everything I had to say and gave me a great course of action and really helped ease my mind. He was easy to talk to and gave his time to talk to me for free. Thank you very much.

Sandra Hernandez

I highly recommend attorney David Clark. He just finished my case and I was extremely pleased with the results. He was helpful, honest, and knowledgeable about my possible options. I was referred to David Clark by a good friend and was truly impressed by his attention to detail and his professionalism.

Ryan Sanchez

After my auto accident, I didn’t think I would be able to go back to work. I was worried about my health care coverage going away and the mounting bills with very little income. I am so grateful that I called David. He answered every single question that I had and what I should do next. I had no idea that my own insurance company would pay for the surgery and I could recover most of my lost wages. Very satisfied with my decision and the result.

Aiden Alvarado

I received a spinal injury from a rear-end-collision and after getting frustrated with my insurance company, I finally decided I needed a lawyer on my side. Both David and Matt worked on my case and I couldn’t be happier with my results. I got my medical bills covered, got my lost wages back, and they even started a third party case against the other driver. I recommend them highly!
