Drivers License Appeal |
 |
 |
I recently represented a woman who had her drivers license revoked after she received her third drunk driving offense. After 10 years of no drivers license she retained Allan W. Ben P.C. to file the paperwork to restore her driving privilege. I worked with her for about 2-3 months getting all the necessary paperwork properly completed. She won her drivers license back. She will have a restricted license for a period of time. She will also need to equip her car with an interlock device etc.

Replacement Services and Michigan Auto Accidents |
|
|

If you are injured in an automobile accident and are unable to perform reasonably necessary services (i.e. mowing your lawn, laundry, cleaning, etc.), your insurance company will reimburse you an amount not exceeding $20.00 per day in having someone else perform those duties. This benefit is payable for up to but not exceeding 3 years. For instance, if the injury you sustained from the Michigan automobile accident prevents you from cooking, laundry, mowing your lawn, shoveling snow, cleaning house, cleaning dishes or whatever that is “ordinary and necessary services” that you would have done had you not been injured, then you will be reimbursed for paying someone else to perform those duties but not to exceed $20.00 per day. You need a doctor to write a prescription for replacement services. You need to have the person doing the replacement services keep track on a daily basis of what was done.
