What Is My Michigan Injury Case Worth?
There is no fixed formula, but several key factors drive the value of a Michigan personal injury claim.
Factors That Drive Value
Case value depends on the severity and permanence of your injuries, total medical costs, lost income, the degree of each party's fault, and the insurance available.
Economic and Noneconomic Damages
Economic damages cover measurable losses like bills and wages. Noneconomic damages cover pain and suffering — but To sue an at-fault driver for pain and suffering in Michigan, your injury must meet the serious-impairment-of-body-function threshold.
Why Estimates Vary
Michigan follows modified comparative negligence: your damages are reduced by your share of fault, and being more than 50% at fault bars recovery of noneconomic damages. The same injury can be worth very different amounts depending on fault and coverage. A free case review gives you a realistic picture.
