The insurance company and your employer have only one goal in mind when you're hurt or injured and file a claim, pay you as little money as possible. DOUD SMITH WAGNER's duty, on the other hand, is to get you as much money as you are legally entitled to recover. Some lawyers need the money more than you do and are willing to settle for pennies on the dollar. DOUD SMITH WAGNER funds your case, and we charge you nothing until we win, and then we only charge a percentage of the recovery. It's a win for both of us and gives DOUD SMITH WAGNER a considerable incentive to do what we do best; WIN!

PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER FOR WORKERS' COMP AND SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY
-
DOUD SMITH WAGNER with PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS for WORKERS' COMP and SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY in FLINT, SAGINAW, LANSING, and all over MICHIGAN, know the tactics employers and insurance companies use to try and deny your claim. We will fight to prove you were hurt on the job or wherever the injury occurred and recover the compensation you deserve and need to recover from your injuries. For most workers in Lansing, Flint, Saginaw, and Michigan, most injuries, diseases, accidents, and deaths that occur in the workplace are covered by workers' compensation insurance. Based on the injury's type and severity, the employer's healthcare provider may be required to pay for necessary medical testing, rehabilitation, drugs, payment for missed work time, compensation for permanent disability, and even death benefits. However, a workplace injury must be reported quickly to receive benefits, so do not hesitate to file a claim. DOUD SMITH WAGNER's lawyers have decades winning personal injury, workers' comp, and social security disability cases all over the state of Michigan. Click here to CONTACT us now.
WE DON'T GET PAID UNTIL WE WIN!
You could be wondering how much your injury, workers' comp, social security disability case is worth. The value of your case depends on a few key factors: the circumstances of your accident, the severity of your injuries, and limits on insurance coverage, among other things. The primary driver behind case value is how much the plaintiff could get in the damages, including:
​
-
Past medical bills;
-
Future medical bills;
-
Lost wages;
-
Loss of earning capacity;
-
Loss of consortium; and
-
Pain and suffering
​
Some of those considerations might not have a clearly articulated value at first. However, based on our attorneys' experience, they could offer an estimated case value after assessing your medical records, police records, statements, and other evidence, such as the progression or regression of your physical and mental state after an accident. The whole picture can provide a window into what to expect from a personal injury lawsuit.
​
Your lawyer and the lawyer's legal team are at the front lines of your fight to get the compensation you deserve in a personal injury suit.
First, they will assess your case to best determine how to fight for you. They will:
​
-
Gauge the depth and breadth of your injuries and the negligent circumstances involved;
-
Investigate the scene of the accident;
-
Question witnesses;
-
Request documentation;
-
Work with medical experts;
-
Review documents, photos, and videos; and
-
Work with experts who can reconstruct the scene of the accident
That's not all, though. They will use all of that information to go head-to-head with the defendant's attorneys to get you the best compensation possible. Oftentimes this happens in a settlement meeting, but if the big corporation or insurance company won't budge, our attorneys are trained, experienced, and ready to go to court. (Whether in a settlement or at court, we've been able to win compensation many times over the defense's initial low-ball offers.)
