Michigan Car Accident Lawyers | Spinal Cord Injury
I recently read about a woman paralyzed from spinal cord injuries she received in a car accident.  Although she has spent the last seven years since the accident unable to walk, she recently underwent experimental surgery in Portugal and has begun a new rehabilitation regiment featuring increased weight bearing exercises.  After a lot of training and failures, the Detroit Free Press reports she has begun feeling sensation in her lower limbs for the first time since the accident.  Although it is clear that these results are not typical, the story provides hope and an example for the thousands of people who suffer from spinal cord injuries each year.

The article also discusses some aspects of how the Michigan No Fault Act provides support for rehab efforts by covering the cost of all medical expenses, even those far removed from the initial treatment or hospital stay.  From the article:

"Another obstacle is health insurance.  Most plans typically don't cover intense therapy programs. But a person injured in an auto accident, such as Nader, in a no-fault state like Michigan, can get coverage funded through a state system.

Even then, a person's coverage may be dropped if an insurer decides progress hasn't been made and documented."

Selecting an experienced Michigan car accident attorney to handle your No Fault claims and your auto negligence claims can help you get full coverage for rehab programs so you can resume your normal life.

Testimonials

The insurance company refused to pay my benefits. Mr. Buckfire filed a lawsuit against them and made them pay every penny that they owed... Every time I see my doctor, I thank her again for the referral to Buckfire & Buckfire.

Because of his efforts, we proved that the other driver was at fault and the driver's insurance company paid a significant settlement for our injury claims... Hiring his firm to represent my son and myself was the best decision I could have possibly made. Many thanks for the great work.

My husband died when a truck left the roadway and struck him. He was off the shoulder of the roadway helping another motorist pull his car out of a snow bank The work that they did helped me settle my Michigan wrongful death case for $1,600,000.00. Their knowledge of law was second to none and they hired the best experts to prove my case.
