Why does the choice of a rehabilitation facility matter?

The facility can affect the quality, consistency, and long-term direction of care. A specialized rehabilitation facility may provide coordinated therapy, experienced clinicians, adaptive equipment, and documentation that helps show what treatment the injured person needs now and in the future.

Does insurance cover the full cost of long-term rehabilitation?

Not always. Coverage depends on the policy, the type of claim, medical necessity, and available benefits. Long-term rehabilitation can involve therapy, equipment, home modifications, transportation, and future care needs that insurers may dispute or only partially cover.

What happens if the insurance company denies my rehabilitation treatment?

A denial does not always end the matter. The decision may be challenged with medical records, physician opinions, treatment plans, and other evidence showing why the rehabilitation is necessary. Legal help can be important when an insurer refuses or delays care after a catastrophic injury.

How can a Michigan lawyer help with my long-term rehabilitation needs?

A Michigan personal injury lawyer can gather medical evidence, work with experts to document future care needs, address insurance disputes, and pursue compensation for rehabilitation costs tied to the injury. The goal is to protect the injured person's access to necessary care and account for long-term losses.

10 STEPS TO TAKE AFTER A CAR ACCIDENT

Ten Simple Steps You Must Take After A Car Accident

Every day, we handle accident injury claims for people who never knew exactly what to do after a car accident. In many cases, they were unable to take the steps listed below because their injuries were too severe. However, if you know these steps ahead of time and follow those regarding medical care and insurance communications, your case for the full and fair compensation you deserve will likely be stronger.

Taking these steps after your car accident is a great help to your lawyer, who will be working diligently to gather evidence and investigate the circumstances of the crash. The sooner you contact our team, the sooner we can support you in seeing these steps through:

Call the police right away if there are significant damages and injuries.
If you are able, take pictures of the accident scene: positions of cars, street signs, debris on the road, injuries and damage to cars. Pictures could be used later as evidence, so get pictures that will be helpful to someone who was not at the scene.
Get witness contact information, including a home address.
Exchange insurance information with other drivers involved, if you are able.
Get contact information from police officers, and follow up with them to obtain the police report of the accident.
Do not refuse medical treatment or an ambulance ride. Your no-fault insurance benefits will cover initial medical expenses. It is in your best interests to get appropriate medical attention as quickly as possible. If you don’t, you may not be able to get no-fault benefits.
Tell emergency responders and your doctor about everything that hurts. When the insurance company pays your bills, they will only pay for expenses that are officially documented.
Call your auto insurance company to report the crash as soon as you are able. A no-fault insurance claim will not raise your premiums.
Follow the medical treatment instructions your doctor prescribes. It is important to your case that you follow all instructions closely and that you go to necessary appointments. We will help you manage the costs.
