No matter what kind of case you are going to be involved in, it is always essential that you find a law firm which is a specialist in a certain area of the law. There are some firms which do offer a multitude of specialists lawyers, but there are also many specialist firms. Here in Michigan bicycle accident lawyers may work alongside disability lawyers, but they will always stay in their own lane. There are however some firms which try to use the same lawyers for a multitude of legal branches, which is not always the best option for you. 

No matter if you have been injured in a ride sharing vehicle or you are going through a divorce, here is why you should look to use the specialists.  

Working With The Pros

The most compelling reason as to why you should pick out specialist lawyers is that they are very much the pros and the experts on your particular situation. Everyone wants to go into a case and win, so giving yourself the best chance to do that is critical. When you use specialists you will be able to depend on their many years of experience and their in-depth knowledge of this particular area of the law, which gives you better chances of success. 

Less Down Time 

If you use a general lawyer it is very possible that a lot of the time which they spend on your case will be invested in studying the case, rather than looking at how they can actually win. They may need to brush up on a particular area of the law, or they may spend more time seeing precedents which a specialist will already know. Using an expert ensures that your case moves that little bit quicker. 

More Personalized 

We often see that the experts are able to give a much more personalized service to their clients than a general lawyer. This is because they often spend a great deal of time focused solely on your case. A general lawyer may have a number of cases to work on at the same time, and this is why you cannot count on having a highly personalized service from this type of lawyer. 

Reputation Preceding Them 

What you will often find with a lawyer which hones in on one particular branch of the law is that they have a great reputation, and they are known throughout the legal world. This can often mean that they can count on out of court settlements, because other legal teams may not want to go up against them. A good reputation is hard to gain as a lawyer, which makes this even more impressive, and why they are so highly sought after. 

This kind of service may cost a little extra, and you may find that you have to wait longer to secure their services, but this will be more than worthwhile once you manage to get them working on your case. …

The word compensation has unjustly become something of a dirty word amongst many people, largely down to the claim culture which came to be over the last 20 years. The reality however is that if you have been involved in something like a truck accident, then you deserve compensation. This is there so that you can cover any medical costs, so that you an claim money for lost income both now and in the future. 

There is a Michigan truck accident claim specialist legal team which has won over $1 billion for its clients, an example of just how important compensation really is. The question which many ask, is how much they will get as a payout, and here is more or less what you can expect. 

How Compensation is Calculated 

There are some cases which are anomalies and may involve a judge granting more compensation depending on a very severe injury, be it psychological or physical. In the main however, there is a relatively clear picture on what kind of injury receives a set amount of money. Using this guide, upon winning the case the victim will receive a set amount of money based on where the injury was, and how severe it was. 

Settling Before Trial

Some victims do not want the hassle of going to trial and so they will settle for a sum which the insurance company offers. This also suits the insurers as they don’t want to go through court and potentially end up paying out much more. A negotiation will take place between the legal team of the victim and the insurers, in order to see if an acceptable figure can be agreed upon. 

Location of The Injury

The first consideration which will be made by the courts is where the injury has taken place. The most compensation will be given out for head and arm injuries, as well as any injuries to hearing and to the upper body. Following this the court will offer slightly lesser payouts for the feet and the legs, unless they are looking at a situation which has resulted in the victim being paralyzed. Finally hand injuries will be the lowest rung on the payout scale. In terms of the payout scale, the severity of the injury will then be looked at. For example a head injury which is deemed as less severe, could see a payout of $25,000; alternatively a sever injury to the head could see a payout of $250,000. The five severity levels are mild, less severe, moderate, severe and extremely severe. The decision on severity will be made by the courts, after taking advice from medical professionals regarding the extremity of the injury which was sustained. 

Payouts could range wildly and some have received upwards of one million dollars in extremely severe cases, alternatively we have seen payouts of $10,000+ for mild injuries which were caused as a result of the truck accident. Your lawyer will be able to give you a clear picture on …
