Legal Question in Personal Injury in Michigan

Re: Car Accident - Injury

In Michigan, a person injured by a third party in an auto accident can recover from that third party (or his insurance company) if the third party was negligent and if that person suffers a permanent impairment of a bodily function or a permanent serious disfigurment (or death). I would need to speak to you to determine if you have a cause of action against the other driver, or if there may be other ways to collect for your injuries. Please call to discuss.

Re: Car Accident - Injury

Much may be done, but I would need more facts to be sure. Were you insured at the time? Were you a driver, or a passenger? What kind of problems are you still having? Has your doctor recommended future medical treatment?

These are just some of the questions that need to be answered to give you competent advice. Call if you like...

To Whom It May Concern:

This is in response to your email of February 15, 2001, which we received on March 30, 2001.

In Michigan, you have three years from the date of the automobile accident to file a claim against the person who hit you.

In order to be successful with your claim, the other party must be at least 51% at fault and your injuries must have �caused you a significant impairment of a bodily function�. If you meet these criteria, then you probably have a viable claim. To discuss this in more detail, you are welcome to contact me at (313) 561-5700.

Sincerely,

Charles L. Nichols
