Ann Arbor Catastrophic Injury Lawyer

Dedicated Catastrophic Injury Lawyer in Ann Arbor, MI

You may not need a lawyer for a fender bender or minor injury accident. But skilled and aggressive legal representation is critical when a collision causes major injuries or death. The greater the potential damages, the harder the insurance companies and their defense lawyers will work to downplay or defeat your claims. You need a law firm that can stand up to these powerful forces to demand your rightful compensation.

The catastrophic injury lawyers of Goethel Engelhardt, PLLC, have achieved notable results in complex accidents with catastrophic injuries. Our proactive and thorough approach puts clients in a position for the most favorable settlement or the advantage in a jury trial.

We take serious injury cases in every corner of Michigan. For a free consultation and prompt investigation, call our Ann Arbor office at 734-545-8421.

Covering Your Losses And Long-Term Needs

Many car accident attorneys operate on volume, which translates to quick but low settlements. Goethel Engelhardt, PLLC, is geared for bigger motor vehicle accident cases such as truck accidents, head-on collisions, motorcycle crashes and pedestrians struck by cars. We know that any early settlement offers from insurance companies or defendants will barely scratch the surface of the full compensation our clients need and deserve.

We have recovered verdicts and settlements for the most serious injuries, including:

• Traumatic brain injury, from concussion syndrome to profound brain damage
• Spinal cord trauma, including paraplegia and quadriplegia
• Neck and back injuries, including vertebrae fractures and herniated disks
• Loss of limb, including surgical amputations
• Broken bones, from a fractured ankle to a shattered pelvis
• Severe burns causing agonizing pain and permanent scars
• Facial trauma, including eye injuries and disfigurement
• Internal injuries, including organ damage
• Fatal injuries constituting a wrongful death claim

Our background in medical litigation helps us understand the extent of clients’ injuries and the true value of their claims. We work with medical experts, life-care planners, economists and other professionals to calculate comprehensive damages. When we obtain a settlement or jury award, we help families structure the payment of damages to cover future needs.
