Pushing Back Against Insurance Companies
Insurance companies are ultimately businesses first, and every claim they minimize or deny improves their bottom line. That’s the uncomfortable truth behind many lowball offers, or no offer at all.
This is exactly why you need someone who knows the system in your corner. We know the tactics the insurances companies will use to stall, undervalue, or reject valid claims, and we don’t let them work. When a fair settlement isn’t on the table, we’re prepared to bring your case to trial.
Our attorneys don’t get rattled in negotiations. Decades of trial experience have taught us how to hold our ground, and that same commitment applies no matter what may have caused your injury, whether it was a driver who wasn’t paying attention or an aggressive dog off the leash.

FAQ
Michigan Personal Injury FAQ
If I Hire an Attorney for My Michigan Personal Injury Case, Will I Have To Pay Legal Bills Right Away?
In most cases, no. Almost all Michigan personal injury lawyers do not charge legal fees upfront. Most provide free consultations before moving ahead with representing a client. If an attorney does go on to represent you, they are likely to work on a contingency basis, which means you don’t owe them a cent until they succeed in recovering compensation on your behalf. Once you have reached a settlement or win a court award of damages, the attorney will take a pre-agreed-upon percentage to cover their legal fees.
Good Michigan personal injury attorneys know the most important thing for you to focus on is recovering from your injuries. Not having the stress of handling a legal claim during your recovery can be immensely valuable for your physical, mental, and emotional wellness.
What Kind of Cases Can an Michigan Personal Injury Attorney Handle?
This will depend on the lawyer or firm. Some attorneys practice just one or a few areas of the law. Others handle a wider range, from motor vehicle accidents to slip and fall accidents.
Whatever kinds of law an attorney handles, you want them to have the experience and skill to get a successful outcome. When you research an attorney’s or firm’s areas of practice, make sure you not only check to see whether they handle a given area but whether they have positive past results and demonstrated knowledge of the area of law.
How Much Can I Receive In an Michigan Personal Injury Settlement?
How much you can get in a personal injury settlement depends on many factors, including the type of accident case and the injuries you suffered. However, in almost any case, having an experienced Indiana personal injury lawyer to help you can get you more than you would have been able to get on your own. It is also true that generally speaking, you can recover more against a big, commercial defendant, like a corporation. How much you can recover in a personal injury case often depends on the insurance limits of the defendant, and corporations tend to have more insurance.
When you retain an attorney, they can advise you about how good a settlement offer is; but the ultimate decision to accept or deny is always yours. If you do not believe a settlement offer is fair, you can tell your attorney you want to keep fighting for more, in some cases by going to court to get an award of damages.
What is a Product Liability Case?
Some of the worst personal injury cases arise from defective products. A product liability claim generally rests on one of three theories: a design defect, a manufacturing defect, or a failure to warn about a known risk.
Some product liability cases arising in Michigan may include hernia mesh, Roundup herbicides, earplugs from 3M, and Zantac.
