Contingency Basis

Personal injury lawyers often represent their clients on a contingency basis,also known as a "no win no pay" agreement. This means that only if the personal injury lawsuit constitutes a compensation, then the lawyer will take a percentage of that compensation to pay for their services.

Getting a lawyer for a personal injury case if highly recommended because these types of cases can be very complex.

Reasons to get a Personal Injury Lawyer

In Michigan there is a No-Fault law. This law makes it impossible for someone to get license plates for their vehicle without no-fault automobile insurance, but no-fault insurance will not cover the damages to your vehicle, nor will it cover your health insurance premium. Therefore it is almost always necessary to hire a personal injury lawyer in Michigan when facing a situation that caused you some personal injury.

If you were to slip and fall at work, your job would not pay you for the days you missed from work because of your injury, therefore if you filed a personal injury lawsuit you could be compensated for the money you lost out on during the period you were injured.

Some people get a personal injury lawyer because of a medical malpractice injury if the hosipital did not meet the standard of care, and caused an injury to you.

In any case of personal injury, if you are looking to get compensation for the damages to your mental or psychical health, you need to hire a personal injury lawyer to represent you.
