What You Can Recover in a Personal Injury Claim

The impact of an accident goes far beyond the initial injury. Medical bills begin to add up, time away from work affects your income, and the physical and emotional toll can follow you for months or even years. At LegalGenius, we don’t aim for quick settlements. Instead, we demand compensation that truly reflects the short- and long-term consequences of your injury.

The value of your claim depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, the circumstances of the accident, and how your life has been affected. Below is an overview of the various damages to which you may be entitled:

• Medical Expenses: You can seek compensation for all medical costs related to your injury, from emergency treatment to follow-up appointments. This includes hospital stays, surgeries, diagnostic tests, physical therapy, prescriptions, medical devices, and transportation to and from appointments. If your injuries require long-term or permanent care, we will also factor in future medical expenses to ensure those costs are covered.
• Lost Wages and Reduced Earning Potential: If your injuries kept you from working, you may be able to recover compensation for the income you lost during your recovery period. In more serious cases, where your ability to work is permanently reduced or eliminated, we pursue damages for loss of future earning capacity. We work with vocational experts and economic analysts to calculate the long-term impact on your financial future.
• Pain and Suffering: This category reflects the physical pain and discomfort caused by your injuries. Chronic pain, limited mobility, ongoing treatments, and the disruption to your daily life all play a role in the value of these damages. Pain and suffering is often one of the largest components of a personal injury claim, especially when the injury leads to lasting complications.
• Emotional Distress: Anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and post-traumatic stress are common after serious accidents. Emotional distress damages cover the mental and emotional strain that affects your quality of life, your relationships, and your overall well-being.
• Property Damage: If your vehicle, bicycle, or other personal property was damaged in the accident, you may be eligible for repair or replacement costs. In auto accident cases, this includes towing, rental car expenses, and damage to items inside the vehicle at the time of the crash.
• Loss of Companionship or Consortium: In wrongful death or catastrophic injury cases, family members may be entitled to compensation for the loss of a loved one’s companionship, support, or care. This can also apply when a serious injury affects a marriage or family dynamic in a lasting way. These damages recognize the personal and relational loss suffered by those closest to the victim.

We don’t rely on guesswork or general estimates. Every claim we file is supported by hard evidence. That includes:

• Medical records and billing statements
• Employment records and wage documentation
• Expert opinions from doctors, therapists, and financial analysts
• Witness statements and photos from the accident scene
• Insurance policy reviews to uncover all potential sources of compensation

Our attorneys prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. That preparation shows the insurance company we’re serious, and it gives you the best chance at recovering the full amount you’re owed.

Can You Still Sue if You’re Partly Responsible for the Accident?

Yes, you can. Michigan follows a modified comparative negligence system, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault for the accident, as long as you were less than 51 percent responsible.

Here’s how it works:

• If you are 50 percent or less at fault, you can file a personal injury claim and recover damages. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re awarded $200,000 but found to be 20 percent responsible, your recovery would be reduced to $160,000.
• If you are found to be more than 50 percent at fault, you are barred from recovering non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering. You may still be able to collect certain economic damages, depending on the circumstances, but the window for full recovery closes once you cross that 50 percent line.

At LegalGenius, we investigate every detail to maximize your potential recovery. Insurance companies will often try to place blame on the injured party to reduce what they have to pay. We push back with evidence, witness statements, and expert analysis that tell the full story, not just the version the insurer wants you to believe.

What If You Don’t Know Who Caused Your Accident?

You may still have options, even if the person responsible for your accident is unknown. In Michigan, certain legal protections and insurance coverages can still allow you to pursue compensation.

Auto Accidents with Unidentified Drivers

If you were injured in a hit-and-run accident or the at-fault driver fled the scene, you may be able to file a claim through your uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. This coverage is intended for situations where the driver is unknown or doesn’t carry valid insurance. While Michigan doesn’t require UM coverage by law, many auto insurance policies include it as part of the plan.

LegalGenius can help you review your policy and file the necessary claims. These cases often require fast action and clear documentation, especially if the police report doesn’t identify the other driver.

Slip and Falls or Property Accidents

If you were hurt on private or public property but don’t know who owns or manages it, we can help investigate. Property records, surveillance footage, and witness statements can be used to identify the party responsible for maintenance and safety. In some cases, multiple parties may share liability.

Workplace or Construction Accidents

If you were injured in a setting with several contractors, subcontractors, or third-party vendors involved, it’s not uncommon for the at-fault party to be unclear at first. Our team conducts a full case review to determine who had control, who had responsibility, and who failed to act.

Not knowing who caused your accident doesn’t automatically disqualify you from compensation. What matters is how quickly you act and how the case is handled. At LegalGenius, we move fast to gather evidence, preserve your rights, and explore every available path to recovery, even when the facts aren’t clear at the start.
