Money Damages in Personal Injury Cases

Michigan personal injury lawyers seek to have their clients compensated with the full amount of money damages permissible under Michigan law. When a person is a victim of someone else’s negligence from a car accident, wrongful death, medical malpractice, slip & fall accident, dog bite or any other type personal injury claim they can recover for both economic and noneconomic damages.

Economic damages primarily include medical bills, lost wages, loss of future earnings, or any other out of pocket money damages. When you are involved in a car accident your economic benefits will be paid through your no-fault insurance carrier, but with all other personal injuries claims, such as defective road claims, the injured victim must file a claim or lawsuit directly against the negligent party.

Noneconomic damages are what are known as pain and suffering. Pain and suffering generally includes: (1) physical pain and suffering; (2) mental anguish; (3) fright and shock; (4) denial of social pleasure and enjoyments; and (5) embarrassment, humiliation or mortification. Noneconomic damages can also include scarring from either a laceration caused during the accident or from a surgical scar. An injured victim can recover for new injuries, like a brain injury, as well as aggravations to pre-existing conditions, such as back injuries,or shoulder problems. In order to obtain full justice for a client, the attorney must fully investigate and document each and every one of these potential damage claims.

As proof of these claims, the attorney should rely on medical records, employment records, tax returns, treating doctors and medical providers, and the testimony of the injured person and family members of the injured person. These assist a jury and an insurance company in properly assessing damages in the case.


If you were injured in an accident, you should contact our firm immediately.

Testimonials

For your personal injury cases, I would recommend George Burke at Buckfire & Buckfire. He was professional, knew the law and best of all, negotiated a settlement for me that was fair compensation for the injuries I received.
Kevin - Walled Lake

I cannot thank Daniel Buckfire enough for helping in my No-Fault Insurance claim against State Farm Insurance Company. I am a quadriplegic as a result of a car accident and my insurance company denied me a portion of my insurance benefits. I contacted Daniel and he was able to get those benefits paid quickly for me.
