By clicking on this site, you have taken the first step toward ensuring that you or your loved ones who have suffered serious injury or death are armed with the necessary information to determine whether you should make a claim, whether you need an attorney and the best attorney for the job.
Here at the Davis Law Center, we know you have seen hundreds, if not thousands of injury websites all promising the same things, i.e. “Free Consultations” and “No Fee if No Recovery.” While this is standard operating procedure for almost all injury firms, it does not provide you a whole lot of information to allow you to choose the right attorney. Our goal is to provide you the necessary information about various types of claims and injuries so that you can make an informed decision regarding the attorney or firm that will best suit your needs. Choosing the right attorney to handle a serious injury case is probably the most important decision you will need to make in this process. Since we are very selective regarding the types of cases we handle, we expect you are just as selective about the attorney you hire to represent your interests. We believe the more information you have to assist you in this decision, the better.
Because we take only a select number of serious injury cases, we thoroughly analyze each and every case and our attorneys will offer advice as to your best legal options. Whether we are working with you to reach a fair and equitable settlement, or are aggressively pursuing litigation, we act in your best interests at all times.
Areas of Practice in which we have recovered substantial compensation for seriously injured victims include:
In Michigan, injured victims can pursue tort damages against an individual or company that negligently or intentionally inflicted harm upon them. A tort is a wrongful injury claim against someone for causing injury to another. The majority of torts are tried in civil courts. Torts are designed to provide compensation in the form of damages to injured victims (plaintiff) and to deter the party at fault (defendant) from repeating the injurious behavior. Lost income, medical expenses, and pain and suffering are some of the damages recoverable under personal injury claims.
Personal injuries can be both physical and mental. Physical
injury may include disability, loss of limb, disfigurement,
and the loss of any of the senses. Mental harm may encompass
emotional trauma, mental anguish, loss of love and affection,
or loss of enjoyment. Whether you were injured in an accident,
assault, or because of a defective product, you have the right
to seek damages. Personal Injury victims may file a tort based
on:
- Negligence - an individual or company's act or failure to
act caused injury. Even if the act was unintentional, the
defendant is still liable for damages.
- A person or company causes injury or fails to prevent an
injury.
- Intentional misconduct - a person maliciously or
intentionally inflicted harm or caused death. This type of
claim is litigated under criminal law.
- Product
Liability - Where a product fails to meet certain standards or
is defective. If you suffered injury as a result of
a defective product or even inadequate labeling, you may sue
any or all parties in the manufacturing chain.
Until you or a loved one suffers injury, most people are probably not aware of the Michigan Supreme Court and Court of Appeals’ systematic dismantling of the tort system in the State of Michigan. Recent appellate decisions and legislation now protect drunk drivers that cause serious injuries and death, provide blanket immunity to pharmaceutical companies that sell drugs that kill, and condone and encourage insurance companies to deny valid claims.
Unless the attorney you hire has an expert understanding of these ever changing issues and knows how to prepare and pursue each and every case from start to finish, your ability to receive fair compensation for your injuries will suffer. Because of this and the individual attention that must be given to every case to maximize recovery, we only accept a limited amount of serious injury cases. If you have suffered a serious injury, we would be happy to discuss your case with you. Call toll-free at 1 (877)-280-7189 or email anytime.
