Michigan Personal Injury FAQs

How do you prove a Michigan personal injury claim?

Proving a Michigan injury claim is challenging. You will need to gather evidence that proves fault, proves your injuries, and proves your losses. Your Michigan personal injury lawyer can help you obtain the evidence you need to prove your case.

Is there a time limit on filing an injury claim in Michigan?

Yes, there is a time limit on filing an injury claim in Michigan. It’s known as the statute of limitations. You have three years to file your claim. If you don’t file within that time frame, you lose the opportunity to file a claim at all in Michigan.

What types of damages can I receive compensation for?

You could be compensated for lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, mental trauma, costs of physical therapy, property damage, costs of mental health treatment, scarring, disfigurement, lost life happiness, and more.

Will my Michigan personal injury claim go to court?
