A personal injury lawsuit typically follows these steps:

1. Free Consultation: We assess your case and explain your legal options.
2. Investigation: Gathering evidence, including medical records, accident reports, and witness statements.
3. Filing a Claim: We submit a demand to the insurance company or file a lawsuit if necessary.
4. Negotiation: Most cases settle before trial, but we negotiate aggressively to secure maximum compensation.
5. Litigation (if needed): If a fair settlement isn’t offered, we take the case to court.
6. Resolution: The case ends in either a settlement or a trial verdict.

Pain and suffering damages vary based on the severity of your injuries, medical costs, and emotional distress. In Michigan, there is no fixed amount, but settlements often range from thousands to millions of dollars, depending on the case. For example, our firm secured $8 million for a truck accident victim and $6.87 million for another injured client.

In Michigan, pain and suffering damages are often calculated using the multiplier method, where the total economic damages are multiplied by a factor typically between three and five.
