Scott Sumner and his team have developed a thorough process to create Wills and Trusts. Using a multi-phase approach to complete each step, they made sure we had time to review and understand what we're doing. After the signing we had a nearly complete, thoughtfully organized binder that will make it so much easier to put to use when needed. It wasn't complete because they also included a list of the additional documents and next steps that we need to add and maintain to have everything in one spot for our heirs. Passing is inevitable. But Sumner and Associates have provided us peace mind by creating a document that will ease the administrative burden on our children after we're gone and helped us ensure that our assets pass quickly to our heirs and not spent unnecessarily in time or money in probate.

What qualifies as personal injury?

Personal injury is a legal term to define damage to a person’s body, mind or emotional health, as opposed to property damages to material things.

What are the 3 types of damages?

Damages are money awards, in a civil court, to compensate injured people who have been harmed by the negligence of a third party. In a personal injury case, there are three (3) types of damages that need to be evaluated and they are: Economic, Non-Economic and Punitive damages. Punitive damages are meant to punish the bad actor, but not used in a typical person injury case. However, the most typical damages are Economic and Non-economic damages, which are also known as compensatory damages. These type of damages are meant to restore or make the individual whole economically.

For example, after a personal injury due to a car accident, you can claim damages for pain and suffering, loss of earnings and future loss of earnings. Plus, you can claim damages to personal property as well, like clothing and damages items, you can claim damages for travel, family help or equipment you may have had to buy, due to your injury.

What are examples of personal injury?

Some examples of personal injury are cases dealing with: Auto injury, Truck Injury, Motor cycle injury, Medical Malpractice, Slip and Fall accidents, Dog Bite and Wrongful death claims. Even an intentional act such as Assault, can cause personal injury.

Is emotional distress a personal injury?

Michigan courts recognize emotional distress as a type of mental suffering or anguish induced by an incident of negligence or intent.

What is a good settlement offer?

There a many factor that must be considered in determining a good settlement offer. You must first determine many factors before one starts to negotiate a personal injury case value. First, determine what type of personal injury case is it? Is it an auto accident? Slip and Fall? Malpractice, Wrongful death? Each type of personal injury case has a unique way of being evaluated. Is an injury from whiplash, auto accident, back injury, knee injury, or slip and fall, injury? Second, there must be liability and more importantly the “ability to prove liability” of the other party. Third, is that the other party must be more than 50 % at fault? And finally, what damages did the injured party sustain? There are many more factors to consider beyond these in determining a good settlement. And that is why it is best to talk to a personal injury lawyer, as soon as possible, after an injury accident.
