How the Law Offices of Miller & Miller, P.C. Can Help You After an Injury

You’re hurt and wondering how you’re going to get your life back to normal. We’re experienced in doing exactly that for our clients. Here’s how our team can help after your injury:

• Assessing your case. Starting with our initial consultation, we will give you an honest take on whether your injury could call for personal injury compensation.
• Gathering evidence. If we work together, our team will gather the evidence necessary to support your claim. Generally, the more evidence showing your injury and how it has affected your life, the better.
• Calculating your compensation. We’ll assign a dollar value to all the ways your injury has impacted you, including non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
• Negotiating for you. We’ll speak with the at-fault parties and involved insurers on your behalf to negotiate a fair settlement for your damages.
• Representing you in court. If the other side won’t offer a fair settlement, your attorney will fight for every dollar you deserve in court.

All along the way, your Detroit injury attorney will be constantly available to answer your questions and ease your anxieties.

Compensation You Could Recover

Serious injuries have serious impacts across nearly all areas of our lives. And nearly every way an injury can impact you may warrant compensation in your personal injury claim.

Here are some of the most common types of compensation you could recover if your case is successful:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages during your recovery
• Reduced earning capacity due to your injuries
• Property damage
• Pain and suffering
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Emotional trauma
• Loss of consortium

Our team will help you build a claim that leaves no money on the table. If someone else was negligent and caused your injury, we believe you deserve compensation for every negative effect your injury has had on your life.

Types of Personal Injury Cases

Any time someone acts negligently and that negligence results in someone else being harmed, there may be cause to file a personal injury claim. With that said, Detroit personal injury cases tend to fall into a few common categories.

Here are some of the most common types of personal injury claims we see at the Law Offices of Miller & Miller, P.C.:

Car Accidents

The quality of Detroit’s roads and drivers may be a subject of debate around our city, but there’s no doubt that car accidents happen in the Motor City a lot. In fact, there have been more than 2,000 crashes that led to serious injuries in Detroit every year since 2016.

And far too many of those car accidents are the result of another driver being careless. If that describes your car accident, you may be able to pursue compensation.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists face all the same risks as other drivers in Detroit, but there’s the added risk of having no external protection other than a helmet. That’s why so many motorcycle accidents in Detroit lead to severe injuries — and warrant significant compensation.

Truck Accidents

Commercial truck drivers are all over Detroit’s roads. And thanks to drowsy driving, long hours, distractions, and other hazards, they’re involved in quite a few accidents. When those accidents happen, they tend to be serious — we’re talking about vehicles that can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, after all.

If you’ve survived an 18-wheeler accident, you’re probably dealing with serious injuries. And there’s a strong chance you’re entitled to some personal injury compensation.

Slip-and-Fall Accidents

Whether it’s thanks to an icy sidewalk or a puddle in a grocery store aisle, your slip-and-fall accident may entitle you to compensation.

Wrongful Deaths

Sometimes, other people’s negligence can cause accidents that don’t just lead to injuries — they lead to fatalities.

In those cases, surviving loved ones may be able to file a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for the wrong done to their deceased loved one and the resulting impacts on the family.

Dog Bites

If a dog bites you in Detroit, the dog’s owner is likely liable for any resulting injuries or damages — regardless of whether the dog has ever shown aggression before. And a Detroit personal injury attorney can help you recover the compensation you deserve.

Defective Products

If you were using a product correctly and it injured you due to some kind of defect, you may be able to file a product liability claim to recover compensation for what you’ve gone through. Your lawyer can help you determine who should be held accountable for your injuries.

Types of Injuries You Can Sue For

All of the above types of accidents can lead to all sorts of injuries, including the following:

• Brain injuries
• Spine and back injuries
• Broken bones and bone fractures
• Burns
• Nerve damage
• Facial disfigurement

If you don’t see your injury listed here, don’t worry. If it resulted from an accident that was someone else’s fault, you can likely pursue compensation for it. Reach out to a Detroit personal injury lawyer to learn more.
