Insurance agents and police officers have specific responsibilities that do not include making sure you get the justice and compensation for damages you have suffered. That is the specific task of an auto accident lawyer.

If you were involved in a car accident in Michigan you increase the chances of a maximum verdict by relying on the services of an auto accident lawyer who specializes in Michigan No Fault Law.

So if you are looking for an auto accident attorney in Michigan then look for assistance from Cochran, Foley & Associates based in Livonia, Michigan.

You likely are entitled to monetary payment for pain and suffering caused by the car accident if:

• you were a passenger or if the other driver was more than 50 percent at fault
• you did not intentionally cause the accident
• you are insured
• a physician states the accident was more likely than not the cause of your injuries.

The likelihood of a judgment in your favor depends upon how significantly the auto accident affects your life. In reaching a verdict about an automobile accident in Michigan, judges and juries will consider:

• What activities you can no longer perform
• How long you were off work
• Whether you have visible scarring from the car accident
• Whether the auto accident resulted in permanent, disabling injuries.

Because of the way Michigan No Fault Law works, auto accident victims in Michigan are entitled to benefits such as payment of medical expenses, lost wages and attendant care, unless they were driving a car they own without insurance.

Other possible benefits include reimbursement for travel to medical care, and household services such as cleaning, yard work, etc. If you are rear-ended, or the accident is not your fault, you still must file a claim with your insurance company.

Under Michigan No-Fault Law, auto accident victims may seek recovery of damages incurred by filing a first party claim, a third party claim, or a mini tot claim.

Michigan No-Fault Insurance Changes

Terry Cochran explains where we are today with Michigan No-Fault Insurance and the benefits of the current structure. Since 1973, Michigan has had one of the most progressive no-fault laws. We have guarantees for accident victims that medical bills and full care will be covered for life.

Proposed changes will limit access to medical care providers and limit the amount of money available for auto accident victims. The lowest coverage is $500,000. In the case of a catastrophic injury, that amount will be spent within the first six weeks.

The elderly are particularly vulnerable. Seniors do not want to be a burden to their families, and it's pretty clear that Medicare just won't have funds to cover these expenses.

The insurance companies say the changes will allow for lower insurance premiums, but they make no commitments. Proponents of the proposed changes have a legitimate claim that medical and care expenses need more controls. Terry is supportive of increased oversight of medical services. Better reviews by the medical community of services and goods is appropriate and needed.
