Liability (Fault) and Damages (The Harm)
Your Ohio personal injury lawyer must provide proof of two distinct elements: (1) liability of another person or entity and (2) monetary damages. There may be great physical injury, financial impact and emotional trauma in your case. However, without establishing liability of another person or entity there is no recovery. Likewise, if the party was negligent but no harm is demonstrated, there is no recovery.
Mr. Zychowicz provides a prompt and thorough analysis of your accident, sometimes with aid of professional investigators, accident reconstruction specialists, engineers and other experts. In proving damages, we secure all necessary documents and medical records, and may arrange testimony and depositions of physicians, therapists, economists, vocational specialists and other professionals to make the case for full damages.
The cost of hiring these experts is borne by Borgstahl & Zychowicz, Ltd. There is no up-front cost to the client and we recover that investment and our own attorney's fees only if we recover compensation through negotiations or a trial.
Personal Injury Compensation in Michigan
In a decision that will be hailed across the state by working and injured people, the Michigan Supreme Court overturned the restrictive ruling by the court in Kreiner vs. Fischer. There will now be greater access to the courts by injured people to receive damage awards for pain and suffering and not be restricted to first-party, no-fault benefits like medical bills and lost wages. This case marks a reversal in the trend that prior courts have taken to deprive injured people the rights that the legislature had given them.
