Can I Represent Myself in a Personal Injury Claim?

Michigan personal injury law does not require you to have legal counsel to pursue a claim against someone else whose negligent or intentional conduct injured you. But, in many situations, having legal representation significantly improves the chances of getting all of the financial compensation you deserve and minimizes the risk of making mistakes that affect or prevent financial recovery.

Complicated Michigan statutes and case law apply to personal injury cases. If you are not well-versed in all the legal nuances, you may jeopardize your ability to receive compensation if you do not retain a lawyer. Liability insurance companies are professionally trained to negotiate personal injury claims in a way that minimizes the settlement amount or justifies complete denial of a claim. With over 40 years of law practice experience, personal injury lawyer Barry Adler knows how to negotiate aggressively to recover the full compensation deserved by the injured individual, as well as how to take a case to trial if a fair settlement is not reached.

Barry does not charge for your initial consultation about a personal injury claim, so there is no reason to hesitate talking to him about your personal injury claim.
