Auto accidents are tough cases, especially with the changes to the No-Fault Law in Michigan. No two cases are the same, and the rules are different if you were an injured driver or a passenger. If you were on a motorcycle, the rules are different for you as well. Pedestrian accident victims and bicyclists face other laws that are applicable. Whether you have a first party PIP case, a negligence case for bodily injury against another driver, or were the victim of a hit and run (yep, different rules there to), we’ve handled thousands of those types of matters. We specialize in the most difficult types of cases, brain injury and head trauma cases, frequently the most difficult to diagnose, but with the longest consequences. We have a dedicated team working with you, not just to get compensation, but to help you recover from the mental and physical injuries, which can last a lifetime. And, most importantly, we don't collect an attorney fees unless we win your case.
PERSONAL INJURY CASES
You won’t find us advertising 24/7 on local TV stations or up on billboards. Our office isn’t interested in becoming another mill, treating client’s cases in a mechanical fashion. Your case is unique to you, and the facts, circumstances and issues are each individual. With all of the recent changes to the No-Fault Act and the new complexity those changes bring, it's no wonder so many other offices are changing their target audiences. When it comes to personal injury cases, the only target audience we have is our clients. Because we aren’t a one size fits all firm, we can provide you with a personal touch that many of those television law firms can’t. You’ll actually talk to the attorney who is handling your case (I know, what a concept) and not just a legal assistant or paralegal every time you call.
We haven’t stopped taking new cases, either PIP or third party, and have instead learned to master the new laws. Yes, you should absolutely choose unlimited PIP for your insurance, but we can handle your case whether you have limited PIP benefits, unlimited benefits, or a full opt-out of medical benefits. We also handle other kinds of injury cases too. A list of the types of cases we handle in this space is listed below, but there are some other considerations that you should consider.
First, we handle all of our personal injury cases on a contingency basis. What does that mean? It means you don’t pay us a dime in fees unless we win your case. When we win your case, we recover a percentage of the settlement. If we don’t win, we don’t get paid any attorney fees. Second, we schedule free consultations with clients, by whatever means are most convenient. Either by phone call, video conference, or in person. If we need to come to you, we're happy to do it. And we never charge a penny for an initial consultation or review of your case. Whether you suffered a dog bite, auto accident, slip and fall or were the victim of police misconduct or were harassed at work, we’re happy to meet with you and discuss your case. Our office handles cases of the following types:
- First-Party Automobile Personal Protection Insurance Matters
- Third-Party Automobile Negligence Matters
- Motorcycle Accident and Injury Cases
- Commercial Truck/Tractor Trailer Accident Cases
- Bus Accident Cases
- Pedestrian Automobile Accident Cases
- Slip and Fall Cases
- Premises Liability Cases
Auto Negligence:
Slip and Fall:
Slip and Fall cases, and other premises accidents (ceiling falls, shelf collapses, electrocutions etc.) happen, and they can cause real serious injuries. The laws favor the landlords and property owners, not the victims. But, with the right know-how and experience, victims stand a chance. Our office has that in spades. Our personal injury attorneys have a combined thirty years of experience handling slip and fall cases. Our lead attorney for premises liability matters, Nathan Dodson, spent over a decade defending landlords and casinos against such cases. Because of that experience, our team knows how the other side attacks cases, and how they defend these actions, giving our clients a critical advantage that competition doesn’t have. Whether you slipped at your local grocery or restaurant, fell on black ice in the apartment parking lot, or were injured by a ceiling fall or elevator at a resort, hotel or casino, we know how to get justice and compensation for you. And again, you don’t pay us a dime in fees until we win your case.
Intentional Torts:
Intentional torts are just what they sound, when another person intentionally hurts you, either physically (assault and battery) or attacking your reputation (defamation i.e. libel or slander). Neither of them is acceptable conduct, and both can leave lifelong economic and non-economic injury. We have handled these claims and understand the complexities that come with First Amendment cases and the time constraints and complex insurance issues that frequently arise with assault or intentional tort claims. Let us put our experience to work for you. As always, consultations are free and as with all of our personal injury representation, you don’t owe us a dime in fees until we win your case
Dog Bites:
Animal bites, including dog bites, can leave you with more than simply a permanent scar. You can also end up with significant medical bills, physical injuries, and long-term psychological injuries as a result. And don’t be fooled, the first bite isn't free. If someone’s dog bites you or a loved one, you have rights. We’ve successfully handled a range of animal bite cases, and we understand the defenses that often come into play. Knowing these issues is critical and can be the difference between a just recovery, compensating you for your injuries and your medical bills or recovering nothing at all. Contact us for a free consultation. If you have us handle your case, as with all of our personal injury matters, you don’t pay us a dime in fees unless we win.
