Spinal Cord Injury Compensation in Michigan
Spinal cord injuries bring lifelong medical needs and lost income. Here is how Michigan law addresses these catastrophic claims.
The Lifelong Impact
Spinal cord injuries can cause partial or complete paralysis, requiring ongoing medical care, home modifications, and assistive equipment for the rest of a person's life.
Valuing a Spinal Injury Claim
Full compensation must account for future medical care, lost earning capacity, home and vehicle modifications, and the profound effect on quality of life — not just current bills.
No-Fault and Beyond
Michigan's No-Fault system requires your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage to pay medical bills and a portion of lost wages after a crash, regardless of who was at fault. To sue an at-fault driver for pain and suffering in Michigan, your injury must meet the serious-impairment-of-body-function threshold. These cases almost always meet the injury threshold for pursuing the at-fault party.
