No Fault Insurance Settlement Against State Farm

Posted on June 21st 2011

Our Detroit car accident lawyers settled a no fault insurance lawsuit against State Farm Insurance. Our client suffered a herniated disc and neurological injuries in a car accident in 2009. The insurance company was paying her wage loss claims but refused to pay household service benefits. We filed a lawsuit in the Wayne County Circuit Court seeking payment of back benefits. The case was litigated and the insurance company agreed to settle the case for $65,000 at a court ordered mediation.

Replacement service benefits are payments for services performed around your home that you used to do but cannot do because of injuries from a car accident. You can receive up to $20 a day ($600/month) for these services during your recovery. You are entitled these benefits for up to the first three years after the date of the accident if you are unable to perfrom the services yourself.

Our own book, written by Detroit car accident lawyer Daniel L. Buckfire, “The Ultimate Michigan Car Accident Handbook,”  has been called the best book ever written for persons injured in Michigan car accidents. It answers all of your questions about  your legal rights against negligent drivers as well as your available benefits under the Michigan No-Fault Law. We’ll send it to you for FREE!

Detroit Car Accident Lawyer Wins Attendant Care Lawsuit

Posted on December 16th 2010

Our Detroit car accident lawyer settles attendant care claim for our client against Allstate Insurance Company. The lawsuit settled with a payment of $75,000 and  reinstated our client’s attendant care benefits for her orthopedic injuries.

Our client came to us after being represented by another attorney for three years. Their previous attorney returned a release to Allstate Insurance Company, that stated, in part, that the client released Allstate from “All claims for attendant care, past, present, and future…” It was clear our client would need future orthopedic surgeries for her injuries considering she sustained a head injury, fractures to her wrist, hip/pelvis, ankle, and other injuries due to the motor vehicle accident.

If you or a family member suffer injuries due to a Michigan car accident and are denied attendant care benefits, or any other no-fault insurance benefits you are entitled to after being injured by your insurance company, contact our office now at (800) 606-1717 to discuss your case. Our Detroit no-fault insurance lawyers will start working on your case immediately.

Detroit Car Maintenance Accident

Posted on August 12th 2009

I saw on the news this morning a story about a man injured in a Detroit Car Maintenance Accident yesterday. According to the Detroit Free Press, The man was under his 1976 Lincoln performing maintenance when the car allegedly slipped from on its jack-stands and pinned the man to the ground. A couple of neighbors were able to help him. His injuries are unknown at this time.

I am very sorry to hear about this accident and hopes the man has a full and complete recovery.

Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights. For this type of accident, Michigan allows a person to claim No-fault benefits if the accident occurred while he was doing repairs or maintenance to a vehicle. In this case, the man would be able to submit a claim for Michigan No-Fault insurance benefits.  No-Fault benefits would cover his medical expenses, lost wages, attendant care, replacement services, and other benefits related to injuries suffered in the accident.  The injured man could claim these benefits even if he did not have an automobile insurance policy.

Accident victims should not speak with the insurance adjuster for the negligent driver before consulting with an attorney.

If you would like more information about your rights after a Michigan car accident, you can order our FREE book, “The Ultimate Michigan Car Accident Handbook” by clicking on the book link.  We will send it out immediately along with other important information.
