Top-Rated Auto Accident Attorneys in Southeastern Michigan

Here at Rothstein Law Group, we have built a reputation for fighting for car accident victims' rights. We have earned recognition due to our dedicated, yet compassionate representation, earning over 40 years of practice in protecting our injured client's rights.

It is because we know how particularly devastating car accidents can be—not just on a person's health, put on their finances—that we fight aggressively and incisively on behalf of our clients.

In the metro Detroit area, driver negligence is one of the major causes of car accidents. Whether the driver was texting while driving, or speeding, it is not difficult for a crash to cause severe, if not life-threatening injuries for those involved. Many accidents occur each year, and we have represented many individuals who have suffered injuries from auto accidents.

What Are Common Types of Car Accident Injuries?

A car wreck can be a traumatic experience, both physically and emotionally. It can also be costly and time-consuming, resulting in numerous bills for car repair, medical treatment, and related costs. If you have been injured in a car accident, you may be able to seek compensation for your injuries.

Our injury attorneys have represented clients who suffered the following types of injuries:

• Lacerations, fractures, and burns
• Traumatic brain injury
• Neck injury
• Leg, knee and foot injuries
• Back and spinal cord injuries
• Whiplash
• Arm, shoulder and hand injuries
• Psychological trauma such as post-traumatic stress disorder

Any of these injuries can occur in a car accident and, depending on their severity, may require long hospital stays and intensive medical care, which can lead to the additional stress of lost wages. Additionally, factors like an accident involving multiple car or uninsured motorists can make matters complex and cloud the assignment of accountability. That's why having a proven car accident attorney on your side that understands these hardships and complications is key to navigating a successful claim.

What Compensation Can I Get After a Car Crash

If you are left with serious injuries that prevent you from returning to work or that require extensive medical treatment, then you will need to hold the other person accountable for his or her negligent driving and actions. If you are involved in a car crash with a negligent driver, it is important that you hire a skilled personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.

An experienced attorney will be able to explain your rights and may be able to obtain financial compensation for:

• Medical bills
• Physical therapy
• Rehabilitation
• Ongoing care
• Loss of services
• Loss of a spouse
• Lost wages
• Instances of pain and suffering

What's My Case Worth?

This may be the most common question that we are asked by our clients, which is only natural. After all, the economic impact of a serious accident can be staggering, so you have good reason to wonder how much you could receive if your case is successful. No attorney can legitimately guarantee any result in your case, but there are certain guidelines that we can use to estimate how much your case is worth in a particular settlement or jury verdict. Each type of case can provide for different kinds of recovery.

Under state law, a personal injury or wrongful death claim can include full compensation for your economic losses, such as your expenses for emergency medical treatment, hospitalization, surgery, medication, rehabilitative care, and even equipment and prostheses. Under other cases you can also claim compensation to offset the income you lose during your recovery and your reduced future earning power. Your claim can even include monetary damages for the pain, suffering, and emotional distress you have been forced to experience. We know what kind of cases allow for what kind of recoveries. We have the knowledge, experience, and skill to obtain the level of compensation that you deserve. We want to help you claim enough compensation to return you as nearly as possible to your pre-accident condition.

Let Us Deal With the Insurance Companies

You and your family should not have to suffer damages due to such carelessness; however, you will have to negotiate with the negligent individual's insurance company to receive your compensation. Insurance adjusters are trained professionals who know how to save their insurance companies money at your expense. They know every trick in the book that will help them lessen the amount of compensation they owe you. Hiring a skilled attorney will give you an advantage since your lawyer will know how to negotiate with the adjuster to get you what you deserve.

Insurance Company Myths

Don't Depend on the Insurance Company. One of the most important reasons to speak with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after your accident is that you need to understand your rights and how much your case may be worth. In the days or weeks following the accident, you may be contacted by someone from the insurance company — an adjuster or a claims representative — who will want to ask you questions about the accident and discuss settling your accident claim. This person may be very friendly and may seem to be concerned with helping you, but there is one thing you must remember: The insurance company does not want to pay you the full amount that you deserve. In fact, it wants to avoid paying you anything more than absolutely necessary and will use any available excuse to minimize or deny your claim. Don't take any chances with your case by settling with the insurance company on your own. Contact us now so that we can advise you of your legal options and start working on a strategy for your case. Call us now so we can serve you with the highest quality of legal representation.

Don't Settle With Insurance Companies Without Experienced Representation and for Less Than You Deserve. Frequently, in the wake of a CAR ACCIDENT or other type of accident, the injured party will be contacted by an employee from the insurance company. The claims representative will be very friendly and may even express concern for the injured person's well-being. He or she will typically offer assurances that the insurance company will help handle the situation and settle the case with a minimum of delay. All too often what the accident victim fails to realize is that, for all this display of care and concern, the insurance company representative is not actually on the victim's side.

Insurance companies don't have an auto accident victim's best interest at heart. Remember, insurance companies don't make a profit by paying out money on accident claims; they make money by paying as little as possible to settle a claim. If you have been injured and are being offered money by an insurance company, then you have nothing to lose by simply calling our personal injury attorneys for a free case evaluation to determine whether the offer is legitimate, fair and reasonable under the circumstances.

Holding Negligent Truckers Responsible

Anyone who gets behind the wheel of an automobile assumes a major responsibility to avoid causing accidents, and this is particularly true in the case of commercial truck drivers. Truckers receive special training before they can receive a commercial driver's license, as they have to be able to demonstrate extra skill in handling their enormous vehicles. A fully loaded semi-truck can legally weigh as much as 80,000 pounds — up to forty times more than a normal passenger vehicle — and is therefore far more capable of causing devastating damage in a collision. If the trucker or the driver's employer caused your accident through some type of negligence, then you should be entitled to claim monetary damages in a personal injury or wrongful death claim.

Contact a Rothstein Truck Accident Lawyer

As soon as we accept a case involving a trucking accident, our team of professionals goes to work in gathering the evidence to prove our client's claim for damages. We look for evidence that will serve to demonstrate that the trucker is responsible for causing the accident or that the trucking company is legally liable. For example, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulates hours of service (HOS) to ensure that truckers do not stay on the road too long before stopping to rest. If the driver violated the HOS regulations, then this may serve as evidence of negligence. Similarly, if the trucking company failed to perform routine inspections and maintenance on the truck, then this could be grounds to hold them responsible. Take action now by contacting Rothstein Law Group, PLC so that we can begin working on your case.

I've Been Injured in a Truck Accident, What Do I Do Now?

Because deadly truck crashes occur every day, the trucker's insurance adjusters and attorneys know how to handle these cases to their own benefit. They will probably offer you a tempting settlement. They may seem charismatic, charming and helpful, and will probably ask you for a recorded statement or your signature on a few forms.

Whatever you do, do not give any statements and do not sign paperwork before consulting with an attorney at the Rothstein Law Group.

Hiring a trucking accident attorney is essential for obtaining a favorable outcome. Without having the proper legal representation, you can get stuck settling for a claim that is much less than you truly deserve.

If you chose to retain the legal services of the Rothstein Law Group, you will work with an attorney who does the following:

• Acts quickly
• Responds to catastrophic truck crashes 24 hours a day
• Preserves the evidence of the accident scene
• Performs a full investigation into your case

For those who have been injured or lost loved ones due to a truck accident, allow our compassionate team to handle the logistics of your claim so that you can focus on your family.

The most common type of premises liability cases involve slip and fall or trip and fall accidents. When a property owner does not properly care for and maintain his or her property, the situation can result in a tragic slip and fall or trip and fall accident. We can help!

Common Slip/Trip and Fall Causes

Cases of slip/trip and fall accidents also include tripping and falling due to a hazardous circumstance that could have been avoided with proper maintenance. In order to win a premises liability case of this sort, liability will have to be effectively proven.

Many common causes include:

• Wet floors
• Uneven walkways
• Unmarked spills
• Poor lighting
• Defective stairs
• Defective equipment
• Defective building construction
• Protrusions and cracks on sidewalks

If there is a spill or other dangerous situation on the premises, it must be properly marked by a sign or other warning. If this is not the case and an injury is caused then substantial compensation for the injury could be yours. If you were injured in a slip and fall accident, or a trip and fall, our firm will aggressively pursue your claim and assist you throughout the legal process.

If you have lost a family member to a fatal accident, then your own life has most likely been thrown into disarray. Not only do you have to cope with the emotional pain of your tragic loss, but you also have to find a way to handle the enormous economic impact of the accident. Fortunately, state law provides you with recourse to seek financial compensation to help you offset this burden.

Economic Damages

These are any and all pecuniary losses that you have suffered in connection with the accident. This can include your expenses for medical treatment of the condition that led to death, as well as your costs for the funeral and burial of your loved one. You can additionally claim compensation for the financial contributions your family has lost in the form of income that you could have expected to receive in the future from the decedent.

Non-Economic Damages

This category is generally subjective and is intended to compensate you for pain, suffering, mental pain, emotional anguish, loss of consortium, and loss of companionship and society. There is no objective guideline for calculating non-economic damages, but the figure should be large enough to provide fair compensation.
