A personal injury case is a legal action brought in court by someone who has been harmed by another person or entity. These lawsuits are designed to provide compensation for an injured victim’s damages. Common forms of damages include past and future medical bills, lost income, property damage, pain and suffering, and lost earning capacity, among other examples.

Personal injury claims are typically rooted in the legal theory of negligence. In most everyday situations, negligence refers to a failure to exercise the level of care that a reasonably prudent person would use in parallel circumstances. A key factor to consider when determining whether the defendant should be liable for an accident is whether the harm foreseeably resulted from the defendant’s conduct. For example, it is foreseeable that excessive speeding could cause a crash involving other vehicles on the road. As a result, an individual who fails to use reasonable care in this manner would likely be deemed negligent for any resulting harm.

Determining fault is not always straightforward. Michigan courts are required to use the modified comparative fault doctrine to assign fault to each party involved. Under this rule, damages are reduced if the plaintiff is found to share the responsibility for an accident. For instance, if you are deemed to be 10 percent at fault, your total award would be reduced by that amount. However, you still would be able to potentially receive compensation for 90 percent of your costs and losses.
