Look Out for Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury, TBI, is difficult to detect and diagnose. Many victims may not be immediately aware of their injuries, which can appear in the form of memory loss, mood swings, depression, and cognitive difficulties such as an inability to concentrate.
Unless the effects of a TBI are profound and immediate, it may take a family member or close friend to identify the problem. If you have been in a Michigan car wreck and TBI is suspected, it is important to seek medical care immediately, then consult with a skilled and experienced brain injury attorney who can seek the compensation you need and deserve.
Michigan Time Limits for Accident Damages | Wayne County Car Accident Attorney
It is important to act quickly when filing a motor vehicle accident claim. The Michigan statute of limitations requires that personal injury cases for "no-fault" benefits — including lost wages, medical bills, long-term attendant care, ongoing rehabilitation and other expenses — must be filed within one year of the accident. Claims for pain and suffering damages must be filed within two years.
A year may seem like a long time, but it can pass quickly, especially when you or a loved one is recovering from a serious injury. The sooner you seek the assistance of an experienced Detroit-area personal injury attorney, the better your chances of proving your case while the evidence is fresh.
