Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

- Worker's Compensation

The majority of working people employed in Michigan are covered by workers' compensation insurance. This means that if you have been injured on the job — seriously enough that you cannot work for at least eight days — you likely have a right to receive benefits covering a percentage of your lost wages, costs for your medical care and job retraining or "vocational rehabilitation."

- Social Security Disability

Anyone suffering from a disabling illness or injury must cope with tremendous pressures. On top of severe physical and emotional pain, the inability to work for a year, longer, or the rest of your life can be overwhelming.

One solution for your financial survival may be a successful Social Security disability application. The caring, results-driven, metro Detroit disability lawyers at Adler Stilman, PLLC, are here to help, without requiring you to take on any added financial risk.

- Personal Injury

If you were injured because someone else was negligent, you may have a legal right to financial compensation. Your success recovering money for pain and suffering, medical bills, lost wages and other harm done to you might depend on the personal injury lawyer you choose to contact after the accident.

- Auto Accident

Auto accidents are an unfortunate fact of life. Although traffic engineers, highway design professionals, auto manufacturers and government agencies responsible for transportation issues work hard to promote safety, crashes still occur now and then. Causes of car accidents are plentiful, and each case has unique aspects. If you have been injured in any type of traffic accident, whether it was a car-truck collision or a bicycle or pedestrian accident, please contact an accomplished metro Detroit car accident lawyer at Adler Stilman, PLLC, today.

- Aviation Accidents

If you were injured in an aviation accident involving a commercial airline, it is important to know that each injured person on the airplane will have a separate claim for compensation. After a Michigan airplane accident, lawyer analysis is as important as emergency medical care for the injured person. The sooner you bring the case to the attention of an experienced personal injury lawyer, the more readily that attorney can advise you on how to make a successful claim for compensation.

- Bus Accident

Adler Stilman, PLLC, has more than 20 years experience representing people injured in motor vehicle accidents, including car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle and pedestrian accidents, and mass transit accidents. If you suffered a serious injury while riding a bus or in a car that collided with a bus in Michigan, we invite you to contact our Detroit area law firm to schedule a free initial consultation.

- Construction Accident

Construction sites by nature present some of the most hazardous of working conditions. Construction workers and other people in a construction zone, such as passersby, delivery personnel and inspectors, often face dangers and sometimes suffer from injuries. An injured construction accident victim most likely has a worker's compensation claim. Adler Stilman, PLLC, has a full-fledged workers' compensation law practice along with our personal injury practice.

- Dog Bite Injury

A dog's owner has "strict liability" when the dog attacks and injures someone. This means that the injured person does not have to prove that the dog owner committed wrongdoing. Simply owning the dog makes that owner responsible for injuries caused by the animal. In some cases, however, if it can be shown that the injured person provoked the dog or trespassed, these facts may be an effective defense, possibly protecting the owner from all or some financial liability for injuries and losses that resulted.

- Medical Malpractice

The medical profession exists to help make people well — not to harm or kill patients. The vast majority of doctors and other health care professionals, the vast majority of the time, apply knowledge and skill to save lives and improve health of patients through care and treatment. As in any field of human endeavor, however, mistakes can and do occur. Through a medical malpractice injury claim or lawsuit, the patient who has suffered injury because of a hospital's negligence or a doctor's errors can recover compensation for losses and expenses.

- Motorcycle Accident

Facing any one of these challenges is beyond the scope of what most motorcyclists or their families can face on their own. An experienced personal injury attorney can help maximize the value of a claim for compensation through application of skills and strategies that have proven successful in other similar cases.

- No-Fault Insurance

After an auto accident in Michigan, it is important to work with a personal injury attorney who is well acquainted with all aspects of no-fault insurance. Do not expect insurance claims adjusters to volunteer all benefits that you are entitled to. They are notorious for playing "keep away" and "hard to get" when injured policyholders attempt to collect benefits after a serious or catastrophic injury.

- Nursing Home Negligence

When you entrusted your elderly mother or father, your disabled husband or wife or any other family member to the care of a nursing home, you probably took the time to choose the facility carefully. You may have read reports or made personal visits before determining where your elderly or disabled loved one would live and be cared for. You most likely expected the nursing home to be diligent, caring and watchful over your family member's well-being according to accepted standards of care.

How disappointing and perhaps even devastating, then, it must have been to learn that your mother, father, husband or wife was apparently neglected or abused in the long-term care facility.

- Pedestrian Injury

Pedestrian and bicycle accidents often result in very serious or catastrophic injuries, in part because of the vulnerability of the person out in traffic without the protection of a vehicle body around him or her. If you were struck in a crosswalk, in a parking lot, on a sidewalk or when leaving your home on foot or on a bicycle and suffered serious injuries, you should contact an experienced lawyer. A personal injury attorney can help review your options for pursuing compensation or even for interacting with your own health insurance or auto insurance company, if necessary.

- Product Liability

When dangerous or defective products cause serious injuries to people using those products, the injured accident victims may bring claims against responsible parties including manufacturers, vendors, installers and maintenance and repair service providers. If you were seriously injured in Michigan and require a case review by a Detroit product liability lawyer, contact Adler Stilman, PLLC.

- Snowmobile Accident

Snowmobile accident cases can be very difficult cases. Laws tend to protect snowmobile manufacturers and other potentially liable parties beyond the snowmobile operator himself (or herself). Adler Stilman, PLLC, in Farmington Hills recommends a prompt review of a snowmobile injury case by an experienced lawyer to maximize opportunities for pursuing compensation from any and all relevant sources.

- Spinal Cord Injury

A spinal cord injury may be one of life's cruelest twists of fate. In moments, a healthy, active, vibrant person becomes disabled and dependent on others for care. The degree of severity of a spinal cord injury will depend on where on the spine the injury occurred. Location of the injury will determine whether the person will be quadriplegic or paraplegic.

- Traumatic Brain Injury

If you have arrived at this web page in search of legal advice after suffering a traumatic brain injury in a traffic accident, a slip-and-fall accident or a workplace accident, please know that we understand your plight. We know that there is no such thing as a "mild head injury," regardless of what insurance claims adjusters try to tell you. Even at the more mild end of the spectrum, a brain injury is nearly always life-changing. At the other end of the spectrum, if your family member is now totally incapacitated due to a traumatic brain injury, our law firm is prepared to fight for the quality of care that he or she will need.

- Truck Accident

Trucking accidents very often result in serious to catastrophic injuries or fatalities of occupants in other vehicles because of the great weight difference between a truck and a car. Nearly all types of commercial vehicles are much heavier than a passenger car and have the potential to do great damage and harm to occupants of another vehicle in the event of a crash.
