I have left a review for The Law Offices of Brandon White before; but I absolutely must update my review. I have had the pleasure of working with them again for another accident I was a passenger in. From day one Caileigh was a phenomenal person to have working with me. Her communication was always clear, concise, and she got to any questions or concerns I had immediately. I had gone through a bit of a rough patch and had lost my main means of communication with her and Mr. White for a while. This did not matter one bit! These are some of the most caring people that I've ever had the absolute pleasure to work with. I will always sing their praises and will undoubtedly recommend their services to anyone I possibly can! You cannot go wrong choosing Brandon White and his team! Thank you Caileigh! Thank you Mr. White!

If you experience a car accident, there are a few important steps you must take right away to help with your case. First of all, assess whether you need immediate medical attention. If you do, go to the ER. If you do not, see if you can take videos and photos of the accident, gathering as much evidence as possible. Do not say anything outside of fact to anyone. Even something like “I didn’t see you there” or “I’m so sorry” could be used to put all the blame on you. If you did not receive medical care for your injuries immediately, go the same day of the accident for an assessment even if you do not think you are hurt. From there, reach out to our car accident attorneys at The Law Offices of Brandon White for your next steps.
Your car accident lawyer can help you determine the most helpful evidence for your case. Generally, you will want to obtain a police report after the accident which will detail accident timing, location, witnessed statements, officer observations, and more. You will also want to take photos and videos of the accident scene if at all possible. Get contact information from anyone who witnessed the accident and written statements from them, if possible. As the case progresses and you visit doctors and miss days at work, keep track of these through medical records, bills, pay stubs, employer statements, and other documents.
The time it takes to resolve a car accident case varies depending on the circumstances. In some cases, your lawyer can settle without pursuing a lawsuit making the entire process go much quicker. If the case goes to court, the process may take a year or more. Another determining factor is your injuries. Most insurance companies will want to wait until the extent of your injuries and the treatment is figured out. This can take time for more complex and serious injuries and less time for smaller injuries. Your lawyer can give you a more accurate timeline based on your specific circumstances.
If you’ve been in a car accident and you are planning on pursuing compensation for your injuries, it can make a significant difference to hire a car accident attorney. Your attorney can help you get the maximum amount of compensation and can reduce the stress of communicating and negotiating with insurance companies. Your lawyer will take a fee in order to help you, but you will not have to pay until you receive your compensation. This means that there are no upfront costs and the cost will be reduced from the money for your injuries. The amount obtained by your attorney will vary depending on the complexity of your case and how quickly your case is resolved. For more details on how much you might pay our lawyers, ask the question at your consultation.
Michigan follows a modified comparative negligence law. This means that if you are more than 50% at fault, you will be barred from recovering any damages. However, if you are below 50% at fault, you can still recover something. The amount of compensation you can recover will be reduced by your percentage of fault, though. For instance, if you are 20% at fault and your damages are $30,000, your compensation will be reduced to $24,000. Insurance companies are known for trying to assign you more fault than you deserve so it is important to have a skilled lawyer on your side for this process.
When it comes to car accidents in Michigan, the statute of limitations is 3 years from the day of the crash. If you file after 3 years, your case will likely be dismissed right away. You can still file a claim even if you are healed from the accident and it is within 3 years. However, there must be proof that your injuries are connected to the car accident and this can be challenging the longer you wait to file. If you ask our attorneys at The Law Offices of Brandon White, they will tell you to file your claim as soon as possible. If you are unsure if you have grounds for a claim, reach out and we can advise you as to what to do.
