Why Should You Hire a Macomb County Personal Injury Attorney?

If you have been wrongly injured in an accident, Douglas Dovitz can help.

Personal injuries often result in costly medical expenses, lost wages, pain and
suffering, and other costs. When this happens, you might be entitled to
compensation and damages. But in the days, weeks, and months following an
accident, you are often focused on your recovery and healing – not on fighting a
lengthy and intense legal battle. When you are recovering from your injuries,
you should not have to handle the insurance company alone.

Douglas Dovitz is a personal injury attorney in Macomb County who offers
experienced legal counsel and advice. He has helped hundreds of clients secure
judgments and receive compensation for their injuries. He knows that nobody
dealing with injuries should also be forced to negotiate with insurance
companies and manage the administrative tasks that come with a personal injury.

If you have a personal injury claim, Douglas can help you understand your
options.

It is no secret that choosing a personal injury attorney can be difficult,
especially when you are focused primarily on your health and healing. People too
often rush into their decision about a lawyer and soon learn that they have made
a mistake – one that can be costly. The following questions can help you make a
smart choice about an attorney after an accident:

 * Does the attorney have experience with your specific type of case?
 * Will the attorney prepare your case for trial, as opposed to just accepting a
   quick cash settlement?
 * Were you offered the option of meeting with an attorney at your home or in
   the hospital when you first reached out for a consultation?
 * Will the attorney with whom you met be the main point of contact on your case
   or are you working with a paralegal or other team member?
 * Is your attorney discussing your case with the insurance company?
 * Have you felt pressured to accept a settlement to avoid going to court?

A personal injury lawyer has dealt with numerous accident and legal cases. These
cases are often overwhelming and confusing to someone without a legal education
or experience. Working with an experienced personal injury attorney in Macomb
County will ensure that your rights are protected and that you will receive the
compensation you deserve.

Douglas can help you:

 * Negotiate with insurance companies
 * Manage medical bills
 * Recover lost wages
 * Receive compensation for the injuries you may have sustained
 * Evaluate property damage costs
 * Determine negligence
 * Receive compensation for pain and suffering

Nobody asks to be injured in an accident, but when it happens, it is important
to take your choice of lawyer seriously. You should never settle and never
assume you need to go it alone. The right personal injury attorney in Macomb
County will help you navigate the complexities of the personal injury legal
system and ensure that you are not victimized a second time.

If you would like to learn more or you want to discuss your personal injury case
with an experienced attorney, contact Douglas Dovitz to schedule a consultation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ?


I WAS HURT AT WORK. WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS?

A In Michigan, you have to be off work one week before you can get wage loss
benefits if you cannot work or the employer cannot accommodate your work
restrictions. This would start on the eight day post-injury. If you are off work
more than two weeks, you get wage loss going back to day one.


I WAS HURT WHILE WORKING, IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT. WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS?

A Workers' compensation is primary for wage loss and medical benefits, but you
can also file a No-Fault claim and possibly also sue the at-fault driver.
No-Fault pays 85% of wage loss, which is more than the 80% of take-home that
workers' comp pays, so after comp pays, you may well have "differential"
benefits owing from No-Fault to take you up to 85%, beyond what comp pays.


SOMEONE OR SOMETHING OTHER THAN MY EMPLOYER CAUSED ME TO INJURE MYSELF WHILE I
WAS WORKING. WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS?

A In Michigan, you can get workers' compensation and file a lawsuit against
"third parties" whose negligence caused your injury, but out of your negligence
case recovery, you will have to reimburse the workers' compensation insurance
company for about 2/3 of what they paid you in comp benefits.


I DON'T THINK I CAN WORK ANY MORE. WHAT CAN I DO?

AYou should apply for Social Security Disability, which you can do online or by
going to your local Social Security office. You really don't need an attorney
yet, but you should be prepared to provide the name of every place you have had
treatment for the condition(s) you believe prevent you from working. Social
Security grants benefits, generally, if you are incapable of working any type of
job full-time, not just the job you were last working.

If you are denied by the local office, which about 80% of applicants will be,
you need to file a request for an appeal, to have a hearing with an
Administrative Law Judge. This is when you should contact me, since you have 60
days from getting the denial letter to request the Judge hearing. I will help
you with the paperwork to file your appeal and obtain other medical information
to hopefully help you win your case. But your hearing will likely not be for
around a year from when you ask for the hearing.

If you don't have enough work earning credits and aren't eligible for Social
Security Disability, you may still qualify for SSI- Supplemental Social
Security, if you have limited assets and qualify medically.


I HAD A CAR ACCIDENT. WHAT RIGHTS DO I HAVE?

A In Michigan, being a No-Fault state, you go to your No-Fault carrier to file
an Application for No-Fault benefits, which can include wage-loss, medical
benefits including if needed nursing care, and household replacement services if
needed. You can sue the at-fault driver if you can show you have a 'serious
impairment of body function". I will also review whether the at-fault driver is
insured, since if he or she isn't, or carries less coverage than you have if you
have underinsured insurance coverage (UIM) then you can make a claim against
your own insurance company for UIM or uninsured motorist benefits (UM benefits).
MAKE SURE IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT TO BUY A LOT OF UM/UIM COVERAGE- IT'S NOT VERY
EXPENSIVE BUT CAN PAY OFF BIG TIME IF YOU HAVE A SERIOUS INJURY IN YOUR
ACCIDENT.


MY BUSINESS TREATS PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN INJURED.

A The insurance companies don't pay me when I send in my bills. What to do? (If
the injury was at work, you have to file a "Form B" with the State Workers'
Compensation Agency, like what an injured employee would, and your case is
decided there. However, there is a fee schedule determining the amount the
insurance company has to pay if they agree or are ordered to pay. If the injury
was due to a motor vehicle accident, I can file a lawsuit suit, or join the
patient's suit, to assert your right to payment. TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS, I MAKE
SURE THE LAWSUIT IS FILED WITHIN A YEAR OF THE OLDEST DATE OF UNPAID SERVICE.
ONLY FILING SUIT PROTECTS YOU!


I THINK I HAVE A GOOD CASE BUT IT'S NOT ONE OF THE AREAS YOU LIST ON YOUR
WEBSITE. CAN YOU HELP ME?

A I can refer you to an attorney who has expertise in the type of case you
appear to have. I have been in practice since 1980, but there are too many areas
of the law for me, or anyone, to be expert in everything. I would refer you to
an attorney who would better help you.
