How Are Pain and Suffering Calculated in Michigan?
The severity of the damage, the sort of medical care received, and the disability's permanents are only a few of the variables that affect how much compensation is awarded for pain and suffering. The injured party is entitled to pain and suffering compensation for both the actual injury and the time it took to recover.
What Is Michigan's No-Fault Law?
Michigan’s No-Fault laws are complex. Simply put, an accident victim's medical costs are paid by his own insurer, even if the other driver involved is completely at-fault.
No-fault policies are comprised of PIP (Personal Injury Protection), PPI (Property Protection), and Residual Liability Insurance.
No-fault insurance policies do not cover damages to the victim's vehicle, however, and many travelers choose to buy additional coverage, such as collision and comprehensive insurance and limited property damage liability insurance.
How Long Do Personal Injury Claims Take in Michigan?
The length of time of your personal injury case depends on whether or not you want to take the low-ball quick settlement from the insurance company, or if you're willing to hire a law firm to ensure your case is handled professionally.
First, we'll look at the major differences between the quick settlement and the professional settlement, their disadvantages, and advantages, and then we'll discuss the time involved if you choose to have your case handled by our personal injury law firm.
What Is a Threshold Injury?
It might be challenging to determine if your personal injury falls within the criteria of "threshold injury," a term that is specific to Michigan auto accident claims.
An injury that results in severe impairment of a bodily function or severe and permanent deformity is referred to as a threshold injury.
If your injury qualifies as no-fault, you may be able to file a third-party claim against the other motorist who caused your auto accident. In addition to financial losses, you may also be able to seek damages for pain and suffering.
