Winning Against the Insurance Companies
Insurance companies in Michigan are interested in minimizing their losses. This leads many of them to try to avoid paying injury accident claims. Many insurance companies will try to ask for recorded statements and signed medical authorizations from injury victims who have accidents in Lansing as well as throughout Michigan. The reason that they do this is so that they can get statements from you that they can later use against you. The authorizations that they request are blanket ones that allow the companies to pick through your entire medical record in an effort to blame your injuries on something other than the accident.
Dealing with insurance companies alone is difficult. They may try to make offers that are substantially lower than what you might receive with the help of a Lansing injury lawyer. It is common for insurance adjusters and companies to contact accident victims soon after their accidents in order to try to get the statements and authorizations. If you are contacted, it may be best for you to tell them that you want to consult with an accident attorney before agreeing to make any statements or sign any documents.

How a Lansing, MI injury lawyer at the Doan Law Firm might help
When you have an experienced accident lawyer from the Doan Law Firm on your side, the insurance company is much likelier to agree to negotiate. An injury attorney may work to thoroughly investigate your case, using the latest technology to clearly show what happened in the accident and who was at fault. He or she may work to negotiate a settlement for you that may be much higher than what you might be able to secure on your own. An accident lawyer may also be able to analyze your losses so that you have an idea of a settlement range you might expect.
If the insurance company refuses to offer a fair amount to settle your claim, your injury lawyer may then file a formal complaint with the court in order to initiate a personal injury or wrongful death civil lawsuit. He or she may continue to work towards securing a fair settlement while also preparing your case for trial. The goal of your accident attorney will be to secure the recovery amount that will make you whole, paying for all of the losses that were caused by the negligent or reckless person's actions.
Personal injury and wrongful death claims are subject to strict statutes of limitations, meaning that your claims must be filed within a set period of time. If you do not file your claim within that time limit, you may be forever barred from seeking recovery. It is thus very important for you to contact a Lansing injury lawyer as soon as possible after your accident.
