FAQs
Jet Ski accidents in Michigan can occur due to various factors, but some common causes include: - Operator error: Inexperienced or reckless driving, such as speeding, sharp turns, or failure to yield, is a leading cause of Jet Ski accidents. - Collisions: Crashes with other watercraft, fixed objects, or swimmers can result from impaired visibility, distraction, or misjudgment of distances. - Alcohol or drug use: Operating a Jet Ski under the influence significantly impairs judgment, reaction time, and coordination, increasing the risk of accidents. - Equipment failure: Malfunctions or defects in the Jet Ski's mechanical components, such as the engine, steering system, or throttle, can lead to accidents. - Hazardous conditions: Rough water, strong currents, and inclement weather conditions pose additional challenges for Jet Ski operators and increase the risk of accidents. - Violation of boating regulations: Ignoring speed limits, navigation rules, or safety requirements set forth by Michigan boating laws can result in accidents and injuries. Understanding these common causes can help Jet Ski operators take precautions to prevent accidents and promote safety on the water.

Under Michigan law, certain professionals are considered "mandated reporters" and are required to report suspected child abuse or neglect. These include doctors, nurses, social workers, teachers, school counselors, law enforcement officers, and child care providers. Other professionals who work with children, such as coaches, youth organization leaders, and clergy members, are also required to report suspected abuse or neglect. Additionally, any person who has reason to believe that a child is being abused or neglected may make a report to Child Protective Services or law enforcement. Failure to report suspected child abuse or neglect is a misdemeanor offense under Michigan law.
If you're involved in a boating accident in Michigan, prioritize safety by ensuring everyone on board is accounted for and administering first aid if necessary. Then, report the accident to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) or local law enforcement. Collect contact information from all parties involved and any witnesses, and document the scene with photos or videos. Refrain from admitting fault or making statements to insurance companies until you've consulted with a boating accident attorney.
Yes, a personal injury settlement or award can affect Medicare benefits. Like Medicaid, Medicare is a need-based program that considers an individual's income and assets when determining eligibility for benefits. If an individual receives a settlement or award for a personal injury case, it may be considered income for the purposes of Medicare eligibility. In addition, Medicare may have a lien on any settlement or award received for medical expenses related to the injury. This means that Medicare may have the right to recover any payments made for medical expenses related to the injury from the settlement or award. It's important to consult with a personal injury lawyer and a Medicare eligibility specialist to determine how a settlement or award may impact Medicare benefits. A lawyer can help structure the settlement or award in a way that minimizes the impact on Medicare eligibility and any potential liens. A Medicare eligibility specialist can help determine how the compensation will affect benefits and provide guidance on how to maintain eligibility.
The impact of personal injury compensation on Medicaid benefits can vary depending on the specifics of the case and the state in which the individual resides. Generally, Medicaid is a need-based program, which means that an individual's income and assets are taken into consideration when determining eligibility for benefits. If an individual receives a settlement or award for a personal injury case, it may be considered income for the purposes of Medicaid eligibility. However, some states have exemptions or exclusions for certain types of compensation, such as compensation for medical expenses or pain and suffering. In these cases, the compensation may not affect Medicaid eligibility. It's important to consult with a personal injury lawyer and a Medicaid eligibility specialist to determine how a settlement or award may impact Medicaid benefits. A lawyer can help structure the settlement or award in a way that minimizes the impact on Medicaid eligibility, such as setting up a special needs trust. A Medicaid eligibility specialist can help determine how the compensation will affect benefits and provide guidance on how to maintain eligibility.
Personal injury lawyers usually work on a contingency fee basis. This means that the lawyer only gets paid if the client receives compensation for their injuries and damages. Under a contingency fee arrangement, the lawyer will take a percentage of the total amount of compensation awarded to the client. This percentage can vary, but is typically around one-third of the total amount. If the client does not receive any compensation, the lawyer will not be paid for their services. Contingency fee arrangements can be beneficial for clients who may not have the financial means to pay for a lawyer upfront. This also incentivizes the lawyer to work hard and maximize the compensation awarded to the client, as their payment is directly tied to the outcome of the case. It's important to note that there may be additional costs associated with a personal injury case, such as court fees and expert witness fees. These costs are typically paid for by the client, but some lawyers may cover these costs upfront and then deduct them from the final settlement or award. It's important to discuss any fees and costs with your personal injury lawyer before signing a representation agreement.
The statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits varies by state and the type of case. However, if too much time has passed, you may not be able to file a lawsuit. It's best to consult with a personal injury attorney to determine if you still have legal options.
If the at-fault party doesn't have enough insurance to cover your damages, you may be able to file a claim against your own insurance company or pursue other legal options. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you explore your options.
The at-fault party's insurance company may be responsible for compensating you for your injuries and other damages. However, insurance companies are businesses and may try to pay out as little as possible. That's why it's important to have an experienced personal injury attorney on your side.
If a loved one died as a result of someone else's negligence, you may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit on their behalf. A wrongful death lawsuit seeks to compensate surviving family members for their loved one's death, including expenses such as funeral and burial costs, lost income, and loss of companionship, as well as any claims the loved one would have been able to bring.
Before accepting a settlement offer from the at-fault party's insurance company, consult with a personal injury attorney, such as Marko Law, to ensure that the offer is fair and covers all of your damages.
Not necessarily. Many personal injury cases are settled out of court through negotiations between the parties and their attorneys. However, if a settlement cannot be reached, the case may go to trial.
The length of a personal injury lawsuit depends on the specifics of the case, including the complexity of the issues involved, the extent of the injuries, and the willingness of the parties to negotiate a settlement. Some cases can be resolved in a matter of months, while others may take years.
Most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if you recover compensation. This is called the “No Fee Guarantee”. The fee is typically a percentage of your recovery, which varies by attorney and case. Contact Marko Law at 1-313-777-7LAW or the contact form on our website to schedule your free consultation.
When choosing a personal injury attorney, look for someone with experience in handling cases similar to yours, a track record of success, and good communication skills. Research the Verdicts and/or Testimonials from past clients. Ask your attorney about their past results and the last time they actually tried a case to a jury.
If you were partially at fault for your injury, you may still be able to recover damages in a personal injury lawsuit. However, your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
The statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits varies by state and the type of case. In general, it's best to contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible to avoid missing any deadlines.
If you have suffered harm due to the negligence or intentional actions of another person or entity, you may have a personal injury case. It's best to consult with a personal injury attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation. Marko Law is here to help.
Damages that can be recovered in a personal injury case may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and property damage.
If the person who caused your injury doesn't have insurance, it can make it more difficult to recover compensation for your damages. However, there are still some options available to you. Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage: If you have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage as part of your own insurance policy, you may be able to file a claim with your own insurance company to recover damages. This coverage is designed to protect you in case you are injured by a driver who doesn't have enough insurance or no insurance at all. Filing a Lawsuit: If the at-fault party doesn't have insurance, you may be able to file a lawsuit against them to recover damages. However, it's important to keep in mind that even if you win the lawsuit, there is no guarantee that you will be able to collect the full amount of the judgment. This is because the defendant may not have the assets or income to pay the judgment. Other Options: Depending on the circumstances of your case, there may be other options available to you to recover damages. For example, if the at-fault party was working at the time of the accident, their employer may be liable for your damages. If the accident occurred on someone else's property, the property owner may be liable. It's important to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney, such as Marko Law, if you are injured by someone who doesn't have insurance. They can help you understand your legal options and navigate the claims process.
Common types of personal injury cases include car accidents, truck accidents, construction accidents, slip and fall accidents, medical malpractice, product liability, dog bites, and workplace accidents.
