Car Accident Law
Our experienced car accident attorneys help victims recover compensation for injuries caused by negligent drivers. We navigate complex Michigan No-Fault laws to secure medical benefits, lost wages, and pain and suffering damages. With 800+ years of combined experience, we maximize settlements while handling all legal complexities, allowing clients to focus on recovery.
Medical Malpractice
We represent victims of medical errors including surgical mistakes, misdiagnoses, and birth injuries. Our attorneys demonstrate how substandard care caused harm to pursue compensation for medical expenses and long-term care needs. We work with medical experts to build compelling cases against healthcare providers.
Workers Compensation
We assist injured workers in securing benefits for on-the-job injuries through no-fault claims. Our team challenges denied claims and represents clients in appeals when necessary. We ensure clients receive proper medical treatment and wage replacement under Michigan workers' compensation laws.
Dog Bite Law
We represent victims of serious dog bites under Michigan's strict liability statute. Our attorneys prove ownership and damages to recover compensation for medical treatment, scarring, and psychological trauma. We handle cases involving all dog breeds and property types.

We work on a contingency basis with no upfront fees - our payment comes from your settlement. Costs for medical records and court fees may apply but are deferred until case resolution.

Seek medical attention, document the scene, exchange information with the other party, and contact us before speaking with insurance adjusters to protect your rights.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Michigan?
Typically three years from the incident date, but No-Fault benefits must be claimed within one year. Consult our attorneys promptly to avoid missing critical deadlines.
Can I afford legal representation if my medical bills are piling up?
Yes - our No Fee Guarantee ensures you pay nothing unless we win your case. This allows access to quality legal help regardless of current financial circumstances.
