What will happen in a settlement on a t-bone accident and the other driver is 100% at fault?

Answered 12 years and 7 months ago by Gregory M. Janks (Unclaimed Profile)   |   5 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Personal Injury
In Michigan your own insurer pays your No Fault Benefits (ie: wage loss, medical bills and replacement services). You may make a pain & suffering claim vs. the at fault driver if you have suffered a serious impairment of a body function that has affected your ability to live your normal pre-crash life. Such proofs generally require medical treatment and testing showing objective signs of injury and testimony about the significant effect on your life. The best way to get a ballpark estimate of the possible scenarios of whether you can win a case and the range of values that might be paid would be to consult local counsel that regularly handles these cases....

How much money can I get from my personal injury?

Answered 12 years and 9 months ago by Mr. David F. Stoddard (Unclaimed Profile)   |   24 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Personal Injury
You have way to little information for me to begin answering your question. I can give you some of the factors that should be considered in determining how much you might get. The first question is whether you can present enough evidence for the Supermarket to be liable. In most slip and fall cases, your cannot. You have to show that there was a dangerous condition, usually some slippery substance on the floor, and that the store either placed it on the floor, or knew about it and failed to do anything about it having had sufficient opportunity to put up warnings, or clean it up. In most cases, you have no evidence of how the substance got on the floor, how long it had been there, and whether any employees knew about it. The best case is where the store placed the substance on the floor, such as moping the floor. If there is liability, how much it is worth depends on how old you are (a permanent injury to a young person is usually worth more than an injury to an old person), whether you had any back problems before the accident, whether the injury will affect your ability to work in the future, how the injury will affect your daily activities in the future, and what kind of pain will you suffer in the future....

Answered 12 years and 9 months ago by Mr. Paul L. Whitfield (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Personal Injury
You can stop guessing what caused the head gasket to blow and stop trying to blame the shop. Hire you an expert and ask him why the head gasket blew. You would have to prove it in court anyway. You are simply saying that because it happened it must have been the fault of the shop. That wont fly in court.... Read More

Fallen tree damaged neighbor siding in last winter storm, do we have liability?

Answered 12 years and 9 months ago by Brian Scott Goldman (Unclaimed Profile)   |   10 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Personal Injury
First, did you maintain and property damage coverage for this property? If so, then refer it to your carrier. If you did not, then you first need to establish that the tree fell as a result of your negligence and not because of a storm which is considered an act of god. I'm not a tree expert and, as such, don't know whether ivy on a tree indicates that the tree is not healthy. If it does, and you were aware of it, then you may be responsible. If it does not indicate that the tree is unhealthy, then you really have no liability/responsibility.... Read More
