The goal of personal injury litigation is to compensate the injured party for loses sustained as a direct result of negligent, or wrongful, conduct on the part of the other party.
Personal injury is a complicated field of law that draws on many different legal theories, which is further complicated by specific timeframes that the court will allow the injured party to bring a claim.
The issue of negligence is a complex one and laws vary depending upon who was negligent.
Therefore, it is commonplace for an attorney to specialize in different areas of personal injury.
A nurse attorney is in the best position to review your case to determine whether you may have a viable personal injury claim and then make the appropriate referral.

Probate is the legal process that occurs after death. If the decedent died with a will, the will must be submitted to the probate court to declare the will valid under Michigan law. Once validated the probate court appoints the executor/personal representative (PR) to administer the estate of the decedent. Before distribution of assets, the executor/PR must file an inventory of all assets to the court, must notify all known and unknown creditors, must pay debts and funeral expenses, must pay taxes, must liquidate assets if required, must file all court forms appropriately, must pay the inventory fee to the court prior to any disbursement to the appropriate beneficiaries.
