Work with a Michigan Personal Injury Lawyer

Personal injury lawyer Barry Adler helps clients with many types of serious personal injury claims, including but not limited to:

• Car accidents
• Truck accidents
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Premises liability (slip and fall, trip and fall)
• Dog bite injuries

To recover compensation in a personal injury claim, the injured person generally needs to prove that the at-fault party was negligent, that the negligence caused the injuries, and that the injuries caused actual financial harm (such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering). Meeting this burden of proof and presenting the evidence requires substantial professional knowledge and skill.

Having experienced legal representation is essential to getting full compensation. Personal injury lawyer Barry Adler has over 40 years of experience in negotiating aggressively with insurance companies to obtain fair and just settlements for his clients. If negotiations do not yield a full settlement, Barry does not hesitate to take a case to trial in court.

Third-Party Liability Cases

Adler Firm also represents clients in third-party liability claims that arise in a workers’ compensation case. When a worker receives an injury during employment, there may be a third-party claim available to the worker if the injury was actually caused by the negligence of a person other than the employer or another employee. For example, a delivery driver who is injured in an on-the-job vehicle accident caused by negligence of another driver may have a personal injury claim against the at-fault driver.

Workers’ compensation benefits and third-party personal injury compensation are separate claims and must be pursued separately. When Barry Adler represents injured workers, he has the skill and experience to handle the client’s workers’ compensation claim, a third-party personal injury claim, and also a Social Security Disability claim arising from the same accident.

Michigan Wrongful Death Claims

Personal injury lawyer Barry Adler helps clients who have wrongful death claims as the result of losing a loved one. A specific Michigan law provides the right to file a wrongful death claim against a party who negligently or intentionally (wrongfully) causes a death. The claim must be filed by the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate. Compensation recovered in a wrongful death case benefits certain family members, heirs, and beneficiaries of the decedent.

Wrongful death cases involve complex legal issues and complicated factual circumstances. In representing clients in wrongful death cases, personal injury attorney Barry Adler applies the extensive knowledge and skill of his four decades of experience to ensure that the full, fair, and just amount of compensation is recovered.

Statutes of Limitations

In personal injury and wrongful death cases, legal rules referred to as statutes of limitations place a time limit on pursuing a claim for compensation. If you are injured by another person, or you lost a loved one in an accident caused by someone else, it is important to reach out to a lawyer at the earliest possible time. If you delay too long, you may lose the right to pursue a claim.

At Adler Firm, your initial consultation is free, and you only pay attorney’s fees if we get results for you, so there is no reason to hesitate contacting us about a personal injury or wrongful death claim.
