At the Law Office of Paul A. Buyers, I represent people who have been seriously injured in automobile accidents. Such accidents include those involving:
Michigan law requires those injured in auto accidents through no fault of their own to meet a minimum 'threshold' of injury before they may successfully sue the negligent driver who caused their injuries. Those who meet this threshold often have received significant medical intervention, have time missed from work, and face the prospect of living with a lifelong impairment or disability. If you have suffered serious injuries in an auto accident, you need an experienced attorney you can trust to assist you with the aftermath of such an accident, as well as working with you to ensure that you receive just and fair compensation for your injuries.
After a serious accident, the insurance company for the at-fault driver may quickly spring into action in an attempt to settle the case with you directly for much less than its true value. The role of the insurance company and adjuster is always to limit their own losses. Insurance companies will often offer a fraction of what they believe your case is worth if you are unrepresented by an attorney. They know their best chance at minimizing their payout will be to make a "lowball" offer before an experienced attorney is retained, and before the injured person may even know the full extent of their injuries.
Despite what you see from their ads on television, insurance companies are run like most other for-profit businesses – their primary objective is to maximize profits and minimize losses by paying out as little as possible in claims. When you are injured and bring a claim, either against the insurance company of a negligent driver or your own insurance company, the insurance company's interests are now directly in conflict with yours. When dealing with an insurance company, you will quickly find the "good neighbor' whose ads claim they are "on your side" and all about "responsibility" is really anything but so. Insurance companies are not concerned about being there for you or getting you the compensation you deserve, but rather about protecting their own interests.
