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. This method provides a framework, but it’s crucial to have an experienced attorney like Joseph Dedvukaj to ensure the calculation accurately reflects the true impact of the injuries. Our firm has successfully secured over $300 million for clients, underscoring our expertise in advocating for fair compensation.

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.

Absolutely. Studies show that accident victims who hire a lawyer receive significantly higher settlements than those who go it alone. Insurance companies often try to lowball victims, but we fight to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. Since we work on a contingency fee basis, you pay nothing unless we win your case.

The most common personal injury claims involve car accidents, truck accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, and workplace injuries. Among these, auto accident claims are the most frequent, as Michigan’s roads see thousands of crashes every year. If you have been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

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.

The settlement amount depends on factors like injury severity, medical costs, and lost wages. Many cases settle for $15,000 to $100,000, while severe injury cases can reach millions of dollars. At The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm, we fight for the maximum compensation possible, ensuring our clients get what they deserve.
