PERSONAL INJURY
Personal Injury can involve many areas of life, therefore, we have broken down some of these areas for you. The general theme of Personal Injury involves the theory of Tort Law (simplistic definition - the duty one owes to another). Most areas of Personal Injury or Tort law that we practice will involve Michigan State Courts, unless we are involved in your Maritime (water-related accident) where Federal law may be beneficial and we will petition the relevant Federal court. We handle personal injury claims, including auto accidents and maritime claims, as well as other types of personal injury.
If you need legal representation, don't hesitate to contact us today. At Bailey Law Office, we offer free consultations and are available to answer any questions you may have about your legal matter.
AUTO ACCIDENT
Bailey Law Office is proud to assist individuals with their auto accident claims. Todd Bailey worked within Chevrolet Motor Division's product liability department prior to law school where he evaluated hundreds of automotive accidents for Chevrolet to determine product liability. Todd is very familiar with accident scene investigation and received extensive training on the engineering of automobiles, and, in particular, anti lock brake systems, air bag deployment, and crush zones.
We understand you need to deal with the trauma of being injured and to focus on healing, without outside interference and complications. We have spoken to many individuals who have dealt with the loss of a loved one or been the cause of the loss of a loved one. Dealing with insurance companies is part of the reality that follows an accident. The goal of Bailey Law Office is to alleviate that burden – so you can concentrate on recovering physically and mentally. You can count on us to handle your case aggressively, while helping you heal.
MARITIME CLAIMS
Bailey Law Office is proud to assist individuals with their water- related accident claims. We have been avid boaters ourselves for many years (power and sail). During and after law school, Todd worked for a law firm that specialized in water- related accidents.
Boating and water related accidents occur frequently within Michigan and the surrounding Great Lakes. It is important to speak with an attorney who has experience in water related litigation because jurisdiction can play a large role in determining if you receive a settlement/judgment or simply having your case dismissed.
Some water-related accidents can include:
- Drowning
- Falls overboard
- Electrocutions
- Carbon monoxide exposure
- Capsizing
- Collisions
Water-related accidents can occur for numerous reasons, including:
- Alcohol or drugs
- Improperly maintained equipment
- Excessive speed
- Defective equipment
- Negligence on the part of the operator and/or crew
Owners of watercraft have a large obligation for the safety of their passengers. To determine if you have a potential claim, please contact us for a free consultation.
If you are involved in a water-related accident:
Please contact the Coast Guard or local police immediately.
Contact us as soon as possible and we can investigate the accident scene if appropriate (including areas accessible by boat only).
