The laws in Michigan related to personal injury have changed many times over the years. Currently, if one is in an accident involving an insured vehicle, one may be entitled to receive compensation. The first requirement in order to recover a payment is that the injured person has suffered disfigurement or a substantial impairment of a body function.
If a personal injury occurs as a result of the fault of another, the court may require the payment of money. For example, if defective equipment causes an injury, one may be liable. If a defective product causes an injury, one may be liable.
Another time a personal injury occurs is when a product is dangerous because its warning is inadequate. If a product fails to provide the necessary warnings, a law suit may be appropriate.
Each case must be individually evaluated. If more information is desired please call (517) 839-0534 for a free consultation.
