After experiencing a motor vehicle accident that results in injuries, individuals have the opportunity to pursue a personal injury claim to seek compensation for their losses. This process can be complex and often requires a thorough understanding of the legal landscape surrounding personal injury law. In Michigan, understanding the modified comparative negligence doctrine is crucial in these situations, as it directly affects the ability to recover damages.
According to this law, if an individual is deemed to be more than 50% responsible for their injury, they may be barred from seeking non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, through legal channels. This means that the determination of fault plays a significant role in the outcome of a personal injury claim.
While recovering non-economic damages has limitations, Michigan's comparative negligence law allows individuals to pursue economic damages, which may include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and lost wages. This compensation is available based on the extent to which another party is found to be liable for the accident that caused the victim's injuries. It's important to note that the potential compensation for these damages will be adjusted proportionally based on the percentage of fault attributed to the claimant. For instance, if a claimant is found to be 30% at fault, their compensation may be reduced accordingly.
