Get Compensation for Injuries

An injury can upend your life in a matter of seconds. One moment you’re going about your day — driving to work, shopping, walking into a business, or doing your job — and the next, you’re facing physical pain, emotional distress, medical bills, and uncertainty about how you’ll support yourself or your family. The ripple effects are real, and they hit Michigan families hard.

Many of these injuries are not “accidents” at all. They happen because someone was negligent, reckless, or violated your rights. Unsafe drivers, dangerous property conditions, careless employers, abusive police officers, defective products, and workplace misconduct all create real harm — and real suffering.

Every injured person deserves justice, accountability, and meaningful compensation to rebuild their life. You shouldn’t have to shoulder these losses alone. At Marko Law, we stand strong for people hurt by wrongdoing of all kinds. Whether you were injured in a crash, slipped in a dangerous store, were mistreated at work, or experienced civil rights abuse, our team is here to fight for you.

Proving Negligence and Liability

What Negligence Means

Negligence occurs when a person or entity:

1. Owes a duty of care
2. Breaches that duty by acting carelessly or recklessly
3. Causes an injury as a direct result
4. Creates real damages — physical, emotional, or financial

This framework applies across nearly every injury case, from slip-and-falls to semi-truck collisions to police misconduct.

Evidence Used to Prove Fault

At Marko Law, we build cases on hard evidence, not assumptions. We collect and preserve every piece of proof necessary to establish negligence.

Key evidence includes:

Photos and Video Footage

Images from:

• Cellphones
• Security cameras
• Dashcams
• Bodycams
• Traffic cameras

Witness Statements

Testimony from people who saw the incident helps confirm:

• How the injury occurred
• Who acted negligently
• Whether safety procedures were ignored

Police or Incident Reports

These documents provide:

• Initial findings
• Citations
• Observations from responding officers
• Scene diagrams

Employment Records or Corporate Safety Files

Essential in cases involving:

• Trucking companies
• Employers
• Public agencies
• Contractors

Medical Records and Expert Evaluations

Your injuries tell a story. Doctors and specialists help connect:

• The cause of the injury
• The severity
• Long-term impact
• Required future care

Accident Reconstruction & Forensic Investigations

Experts may recreate:

• Vehicle collisions
• Falls
• Machinery malfunctions
• Police encounters

What to Do After an Injury to Protect Your Claim

Seek Medical Treatment Immediately

Your health comes first. Even if injuries seem minor, get checked. Adrenaline masks symptoms, and delayed treatment can harm both your recovery and your claim.

Report the Incident

Depending on the situation:

• Call the police for vehicle crashes.
• Report slip-and-falls to property management.
• Notify your employer if the injury happened at work.

Document Everything

Take photos and videos of:

• Injuries
• Property damage
• The accident location
• Environmental hazards (ice, spills, broken steps, debris)

Gather Witness Information

If someone saw what happened, get their:

• Name
• Phone number
• Email

Do Not Give Statements to Insurance Companies

Insurance adjusters want you to say something they can use against you. Never give a recorded statement or sign documents before talking to a lawyer.

Preserve Evidence

Keep:

• Damaged clothing
• Broken items
• Your vehicle in its post-crash condition
• Medical paperwork
• Photos and videos
