Personal Injury And Wrongful Death Representation You Can Trust
A severe accident can jeopardize your health and financial stability, while a fatal accident can devastate a family. In either case, the aftermath often brings overwhelming challenges: mounting medical bills, extended work leave and the strain of caring for loved ones. While pursuing legal action might seem like a mountain to climb during this difficult time, protecting your rights and securing your future is important. As your attorney, I, Joel B. Sklar, will guide you through Michigan’s legal system to fight for the compensation you deserve.
With over 35 years of experience, I have helped countless personal injury victims and their families recover damages from negligent parties. These damages often include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. My aggressive advocacy has earned the trust of hardworking Detroiters facing challenging times, and I am here to help you, too.
How Were You Or A Loved One Injured?
I exclusively represent plaintiffs, championing the Davids against the Goliaths. I am not afraid to hold big businesses, insurance companies and other corporate interests accountable for harmful actions. My practice area covers a wide range of personal injury matters, including:
- Motor vehicle accidents (cars, trucks, motorcycles, rideshares, bicycles, pedestrians)
- Slip-and-fall accidents on commercial or municipal property
- Wrongful death claims
- Closed head and traumatic brain injuries
- Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
- Catastrophic injuries (paralysis, amputation)
- Product liability cases
This list is not comprehensive; my experience in personal injury and wrongful death cases allows me to handle a range of legal matters in this field. Contact me if you do not see your accident or injury mentioned above.
Representing Clients In No-Fault Accident Cases
In Michigan, drivers must have personal injury protection (PIP) insurance for car accident expenses. This no-fault system means you can file a claim with your insurer, regardless of who caused the accident. It is supposed to make things easier, but it is not always that simple. Insurance companies often try to limit what they pay out. If you accept your insurance company’s settlement offer too quickly, you may be responsible for higher medical bills than anticipated.
