Can I sue if only one of my tubes was ligated, if so, for what damages?

Answered by attorney Andrew Tyler Velonis (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Andrew T. Velonis, P.C.
Technically, you probably could. However, the time and expense would be such that it probably would not be worthwhile.

How do I get compensation for my injury on the job?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Arin M Dunn (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Dunn & Sheldrick, PS
I am so sorry to hear how difficult this has become. These issues involve different kinds of laws which often require two attorneys. There is the Worker's Compensation issue, which it sounds like you have resolved to your satisfaction. Then, there is the issue of whether the termination was unlawful and/or there was retaliation/discrimination. Among other things, there are claims for disability discrimination and failure to accommodate. There are also claims for retaliation for filing an L&I claim. There are also claims for failing to provide appropriate FMLA leave. There are other claims. This is a complex area and would typically require review by an experienced employment attorney. It is possible to file a claim on your own with a state or federal agency such as L&I, WHRC, or the EEOC. However, again, this is extremely complex and such agencies are severely under-budget and over-burdened. In my opinion, a person is better off if they have a plan and manage the matter with an attorney from the beginning. Many employment attorneys will not take a case if it is has already been filed with the L&I, WHRC, or EEOC, especially if a right to sue letter has already been issued. Entering the matter that late in time can give fewer options for an attorney to strategically structure or develop the case. Good luck.

How to make a settlement to cover pain and suffering and miscellaneous expenses?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Gregory M Janks (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Gregory M. Janks, P.C.
In Michigan, it is YOUR vehicle insurer that pays your medical expenses and medical mileage, NOT the insurer of your host driver (unless you had no motor vehicle insurance and did not live with a relative that had PIP insurance). The at fault drivers liability insurance will pay your pain & suffering if you can prove you suffered a serious impairment of a body function through medical testimony. They will pay up to the limits of liability, but no more. Typically they will not offer any settlement if your injuries don't meet the threshold or will typically offer less than the limits if they think your injuries meet the threshold. You may need counsel to review the matter to give you some advice on the viability/reasonable range of settlement as to your claim.
