Delton, MI Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

Assuming that the daycare center was negligent, which I cannot say if it was as you do not provide any information about how your son's injury occurred, then there are actually two claims. First, you have a claim, in your own capacity, for any medical bills incurred for your son's injuries as well as your wage loss, if any. Parents are responsible for the medical expenses of their children. Second, your son has a claim, which can be brought by you as "mother and next friend, for his pain, suffering and any permanent injury. I cannot provide you an amount that you should ask for from the daycare center without a lot more information including, but not limited to: total medical expenses; your wage loss; how long you son was in the cast; and will this cause your son problems when he gets older. I would suggest contacting a personal injury attorney. Most offer a free initial consultation and you can get more information about your rights, options and the possible value of the case.

Not any Michigan law of which I am aware. Generally, when you are hit by a motor vehicle you file and Application for Benefits with your own car insurer and they pay your PIP Benefits (ie: wage loss, medical expenses and replacement services). If you do not have an insured motor vehicle, there are several other priorities (such as a resident relative's coverage, the vehicle which struck you's coverage, the driver who operated the vehicles coverage, the Assigned Claims Plan of the State of Michigan, etc.). If you need to explore which priority applies, I suggest you consult local counsel in Michigan. Note none of the priorities of coverage, of which I'm aware, include the apartment complex.
