Mesothelioma & Asbestos Cancer

< Today, it is widely understood that asbestos is an extremely harmful substance. However, this was not always the case.


In 1918, The United States Department of Labor issued a bulletin stating that there was an "urgent need for more qualified extensive investigation" into the severe harm caused by asbestos. Nevertheless, many industries kept using asbestos.

For decades, Michigan construction workers, vehicle mechanics, shipyard workers, electricians, and others employed in the building trades did not realize the danger, as they were exposed to asbestos on a daily basis. Even now, Michigan workers renovating or demolishing old buildings may encounter asbestos.

The danger was not limited those who directly handled the asbestos. If a Michigan worker had substantial exposure to asbestos, his or her co-worker or spouse also was vulnerable to asbestos-related illness.

Eventually scientific research confirmed the life-threatening risks caused by exposure to airborne asbestos fibers. However, companies still ignored the danger, and continued to make and use products containing asbestos. Some of these businesses were located in Michigan, and many residents of this state now suffer from asbestos-related illnesses.

If you or a loved one suffer from asbestos related cancer or mesothelioma cancer, talk with an experienced Michigan asbestos lawyer today. Please submit a simple, free and confidential legal consultation form now.

Infant Brain Damage and Birth Injury Litigation

Malpractice during the labor and delivery process can lead to serious injury and costs for proper care and rehabilitation that create serious financial challenges for a family already in crisis.

Any infant brain damage can result in disability and significant expense for families.

Improper monitoring of mother or infant
Failure to recognize fetal distress
Delayed or denied c-sections
Improper labor and delivery techniques
Improper administration of drugs
Failure to recognize warning signs

If you suspect that medical malpractice or physician negligence played any part in your child's infant brain damage, it is important to discuss your case with a knowledgeable and experienced attorney.

Injury and Death Caused by Failures to Diagnose

Seeking Justice for Injury and Death Caused by Failures to Diagnose or Misdiagnoses in Michigan Emergency Rooms

We rely upon hospital emergency rooms to save lives. Emergency rooms (ERs) and trauma centers treat some of the most critically ill patients. In most cases, emergency room doctors and medical personnel provide competent and life-saving care to the patients they treat.

However, when emergency rooms make medical mistakes or fail to act quickly enough, patients' conditions can quickly deteriorate. When doctors or hospitals fail to follow proper procedures or provide inadequate medical care in emergency rooms, patients can be seriously and permanent injured. Some patients even die because of medical mistakes made by overworked health care providers in understaffed emergency rooms.

If you were harmed because of negligent medical care in an emergency room, or a loved one died because of emergency room malpractice, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses.

Contact our firm for a free evaluation of your case. We are dedicated to answering your questions about medical malpractice law and helping you seek compensation for an injury or death caused by medical mistakes or emergency room errors.

Attorney Lynn Marie Bredell understands how complicated the law is concerning medical malpractice. She formerly practiced in the area of medical malpractice defense, working for one of the largest law firms in Michigan. Her experience defending these claims gives her a valuable perspective into medical malpractice cases.

People who are seriously injured in car accidents and truck accidents, people who have been injured at work, and people who become ill at home all seek medical treatment at emergency rooms.

Emergency rooms should be equipped to quickly assess a patient's medical condition, correctly diagnose illness or injury, and provide prompt medical treatment. A delay in diagnosis, misdiagnosis, failure to provide needed treatment, or mistakes in treating a serious injury or illness can be devastating to an emergency room patient.

Contact Bredell & Bredell, to discuss your malpractice claims related to emergency room errors, including:

Mistakes in assessing a patient's condition in triage (for example, misdiagnosis of a headache as a migraine instead of an aneurysm)
Unreasonable delays in evaluation or patients
Unreasonable delays in treatment
Failure to diagnose injury or disease, such as missing the signs of a stroke, heart attack, or peritonitis
Failure to order appropriate medical tests
Laboratory mistakes or radiology errors
Prescription errors, such as giving the wrong drug or the wrong dose of medication
Improperly discharging or transferring a patient
Surgical errors

To learn more about recovering compensation for injury or death caused by an emergency room error, contact a medical malpractice attorney at Bredell & Bredell for a free initial consultation. Our lawyers represent injured people throughout Michigan.

On November 1 of 2008, the MMA was passed by Citizen Initiative by 63 percent of Michigan voters and the law became effective as of April 2009. The Act allows the use of Medical Marijuana to the extent that it is carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

Do I Qualify For Social Security Disability Benefits in Michigan?

Before deciding whether you qualify for benefits, it is required that you have an insured status. Generally, but not always, you must show significant work in the last 5 out of 10 years. Once you have an insured status, you go on to the next phase in the process and determine if you are actually entitled to any benefits and how much. There are many factors that go into the decision of approving or denying your social security benefits, but some are more important than others. The most relied upon factors include your age, your education level, your work skills, whether your work skills transfer, your impairment, and your past relevant work history. The Social Security Adminstration will heavily weigh these factors on their decision about your social security benefits.

When looking at your impairment, the type of impairment is crucial. It can either be total impairment or non-total impairment. If it is decided that you don't have a total impairment, then the residual functional capacity comes into play. This capacity basically is a scale that ranks the amount of work you are capable of. It is broken down in the following fashion:

Sedentary - Capable only of sitting or sedentary behavior and lifting 10 lbs.
Light - Capable of Working/Standing six out of an 8 hour work day and lifting 20 lbs.
Medium - Capable of Working/Standing the entire day and lifting 50 lbs.
Heavy - Capable of Working/Standing the entire day and lifting 75+ lbs.
Very Heavy - Capable of Working/Standing the entire day and lifting 100+ lbs.
What is the Definition of Disability According to the Social Security Administration?

The Social Security Adminstration (SSA) uses a specific definition when deciding if you are disabled. Social security only pays for total disability and no benefits are payable for partial disability or what they call short term disability. Disability is defined as your ability to work and you must be able to prove that you can't do the work you previously were capble of, you can't adjust to other comparable work since your medial conditions limits your ability, and that your disability is not short term meaning that it has lasted or is expected to last at least one year or has resulted in death. The SSA uses five questions to determine if you are considered disabled. These questions include 1) Are you working? 2) Is your medical condition severe? 3) Is your condition found in the list of diabliing conditions? 4) Can you do the work you did previously? 5) Can you do any other type of work?

Michigan Workers Compensation Lawyers

Differentiating between an employee of a particular company and a separate independent contractor can be much more difficult than one would think. Some independent contractors may only work for one certain company and this can make it hard to determine what type of employee he/she really is. Our Michigan workers compensation attorneys can tell you that an employee of a company is treated much differently than an independent contractor when dealing with a workers comp claim. An employee will be entitled to worker's compensation as well as unemployment insurance, but an independent contractor is not entitled to either of these programs. It is important to know whether you are treated as a regular employee or as an independent contractor since this small difference can really affect you if you suffer a work related injury. A good way to tell is that most employees usually don't have control of their hours or what jobs are accepted.

How Does Michigan Differentiate an Independent Contractor From an Employee?

An independent contractor is defined as a worker who maintains a completely separate business entity from the paticular company where the workplace injury took place. This contractor must holds out to and renders services to the public. An independent contractor cannot be independent simply because he or she wants to, some sort of supporting evidence is needed to back up this claim. The same goes for the employer. They cannot call a worker an independent contractor simply because they want to and it would benefit the business, they need supporting evidence to claim this. Even if the employee and the employer agree to the independent contractor status, this is not enough. If this worker only works at one place of business and it directly controll by that business, this person is an employee not an independent contractor regardless of any verbal agreements made previously.

What is The Specific Law Relating to Independent Contractors?

The Michigan Statute about this condition states that "Every person in the service of another, under any contract of hire, express or implied..." is an employee. Furthermore you are an employee if all three of the follwoing conditions are met: (1) You do not maintain a separate business and, (2) You do not hold yourself out to and render service to the public and, (3) You are not an employer subject to the Michigan workers compensation act.

Applying for Michigan Social Security Benefits

What is The Difference Between SSI and SSDI and Do I Qualify For Benefits?

When applying for social security benefits, you must qualify for at least one out of the two programs ran by the social security administration. The two major programs are social security disability insurance (SSDI) and supplemental security income (SSI). Social security disability insurance pertains to disabled people who have been working steadily the last few years. This program enables workers who are employed and have a medical condition to receive benefits because of a disability. Supplemental security income pertains to individuals who are severely impaired but do not qualify for social security disability insurance. This program provides extra income for odler and disabled people with little or no current income. It allows qualifying individuals to meet basic nees by providing a monthly wage funded by tax revenues from the government. In order to quality for SSI, you must be able to prove that your impairment has made you unable to work your job and your substantial gainful activity has been reduced. This sounds complicated, but it really means that your impairment has lowered your ability to earn wages significantly. SSI does not require you prove past employment since it is ran by the United States Treasury Department instead of the Social Security Administration. You still must prove that your wage earning capacity has been reduced recently. In order to qualify for SSI, you must also prove that you are in financial need. Our Lansing social security attorneys can help answer any question you may have and guide you through the entire process!

How Do I Go About Applying For Social Security If I Feel I Qualify?

You should never delay your application if you have been recently disabiled. The sooner you file the better for your chances of qualifying and receiving benefits. There are a number of ways to start your application; you can go to the social security administration website to apply for disability benefits or retirement benefits online, you can call the social security administration by calling 1-800-772-1213 and request an application in the mail, and you can always visit your local social security office. The Lansing social security office is located at 5210 Perry Robinson Circle, Lansing Michigan 48911. The application process is quite lengthy but if you clearly state all the required information it is possible to get a faster than normal response to your application. Also, don't be discouraged if your initial application is denied. Many applicants are denied even though you may meet the requirement. You have 65 days to file an appeal and we can help you get the benefits you deserve!

Can Someone Working Apply for Social Security Disability Benefits?

As a Michigan Social Security Attorney, I get asked the question "Can someone working apply for social security" quite often. Unfortunately, there is no clear cut answer because it depends on the situation of the individual. For example, take an employee with a disability that affects his health but has not quit his job because it is not financially viable for that individual. Usually a person cannot collect social security disability benefits while working because the law is based on residual functional capacity. If you are still working, it's hard to prove that you are incapable of working that job. It is still possible to win benefits while working, but usually only if the work is not full-time. If you are still working full-time, your application will most likely be denied. You have a much better chance of success when you are not working because the medical condition made you incapable of working and thus decreased your functional capacity.

Michigan Workers Comp Attorney

If you were involved in a work related injury and need help receiving the compensation you deserve, you should call our experienced Michigan workers compensation attorneys at The Clark Law Office. An experienced workers comp lawyer knows the intricacies of the law and can help you out. Under Michigan workers compensation law, the classification of a term called maximum medical improvement can be crucial to determining your compensation award amount. The idea behind the maximum medical improvement (MMI) classification is that an injured worker recovering from serious injuries hits a barrier or plateau during the rehabilitation process. The patient might have fully recovered from the injuries sustained, but many times a full recovery is simply not possible. If you are currently receiving workers' compensation benefits and have recently been classified as reaching your maximum medical improvement, your condition will be assessed and this will determine your amount of permanent or partial impairment. If doctors determine you have reached your maximum medical improvement then you will most likely no longer be eligible for benefits. This situation arises quite often because the parties responsible for your bills don't want to pay for a long period time. You need to fight this claim as it is usually the difference between receiving compensation or not.

What is an Impairment Rating Relating to My Workers Compensation Claim?

An impairment refers to the situation where there is a problem with the functioning of a body part. Impairment is usually defined in two different ways. It can either be an inability of the injured worker to use his musculoskeletal system which entails your extremeties, musclues, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. The other category includes the inability for the injured worker to control nuerological functions. Obviously, this category is usually more severe and can include injury to the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves. Sometimes you cannot regain full functionality even with proper medical treatment and rehabilitation.

As a Lansing workers compensation attorney, I hear the term impairment rating quite often. An impairment rating is used to determine the amount of functional loss a victim of a work related injury has sustained. The statistic is turned into a percentage and this percentage tells you how much functional loss has taken place. The process for obtaining the impairment rating is quite extensive. An individual will need to fill out various forms revealing how much pain they are currently in and if they have troubles living out their normal everyday activities. The doctor will then interview the patient about past medical history, the nature of the work related injury, and just overall fitness. The doctor will also perform a physical examination as well as some additional tests that help determine how much functional loss really took place from the injury sustained at work. Overall, the entire process shouldn't take more than a couple of hours and really does provide necessary information. This step is crucial to determing your ability to work following the accident and also the amount pay that you should receive.

Contact a Michigan Workers' Compensation Attorney To Protect Your Rights

You may not think you need an attorney to handle your workers' comp claim, but it has been found that injured parties involved in a workplace injury receive increased compensation when utilizing the services of an experienced workers comp laywer compared to those who don't.
