What We’ll Cover
A personal injury or illness is usually without warning. Personal injury is a severe injury suffered by one person caused by the negligence or wrong actions of another. Personal injuries can arise from numerous circumstances—accidents, unsafe products or environments, etc. Not all injuries qualify for legal action—sometimes, injuries simply aren't preventable. However, when you are seriously hurt because another person or company failed to do something correctly, you may have a case. The key principle involved in personal injury claims is the idea of negligence—that someone should have done something and didn't—and that failure caused your injuries. More specifically, in legal terms, negligence is proven by establishing these basic facts:
- The person who caused your injury owed a duty to you (such as the duty of a fellow driver to obey traffic laws or the duty of a drug company to make safe medication)
- The person failed to carry out that duty.
- You suffered injury as a direct result of that failure.
Understanding the Injuries
Each lawyer on our team understands the severity of injuries that can result from crashes. Injuries sustained in an auto accident can cause lifelong disabilities, including brain, neck, and back injuries. Some of the most common and devastating injuries caused by a motorcycle, car, or truck accident are mental trauma, head trauma, burns, whiplash, spinal cord injury, brain trauma or injury, broken or fractured bones, and broken back or neck.
While auto accidents are always devastating events, injuries are usually catastrophic when a tractor-trailer or other commercial vehicle is involved. Truck accidents that happen on roadways and interstates often result in very serious injuries or death. When these types of accidents happen, victims are often entitled to compensation for their medical bills, vehicle loss, lost wages, and pain and suffering, and you need us even more.
When a professional from the firm of Bernstein & Bernstein is selected to represent a case, victims can expect nothing less than expert handling from beginning to end. Our auto accident attorney specialists have experience handling claims involving catastrophic auto injuries. We understand Michigan's wrongful death law and help families recover full compensation from the person or company causing a fatal car accident. Each one of our lawyers is dedicated to fighting tirelessly on our client's behalf.
The lawyers on the Bernstein & Bernstein team also work on claims that involve automobile products liability law, including defective automotive parts such as tire blowouts, van and SUV roll-overs, seatbelt defects, airbag failure, and other automobile defects.
