Personal Injury
Our personal injury attorneys represent clients injured through no fault of their own across the Upper Peninsula. We handle car accidents, slip-and-falls, and workplace injuries, investigating incidents thoroughly to establish liability. With deep knowledge of Michigan's no-fault insurance system, we negotiate with insurers to secure compensation covering medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering while preparing for litigation when necessary.
Workers' Compensation
We advocate for injured workers navigating Michigan's workers' compensation system. Our attorneys help clients document workplace injuries, file timely claims, and appeal denials while protecting against employer retaliation. We coordinate medical care documentation and calculate total compensation needs, including wage replacement and long-term disability benefits, ensuring clients receive their full legal entitlements.
Social Security Disability
Our SSD specialists assist clients denied disability benefits after severe injuries or chronic conditions. We compile comprehensive medical documentation, meet strict filing deadlines, and represent clients at hearings while navigating complex eligibility requirements. The firm's experience with Michigan's disability determination process improves approval chances for initial applications and appeals.
Wrongful Death
We provide compassionate legal representation for families losing loved ones to negligence. Our attorneys investigate fatal car crashes, medical malpractice, and workplace accidents to build strong wrongful death claims. We pursue compensation for funeral costs, lost financial support, and emotional damages while guiding families through Michigan's three-year statute of limitations for these sensitive cases.
Car Accidents
Our car accident attorneys handle claims involving all vehicle types across Michigan's Upper Peninsula. We analyze police reports, gather witness statements, and assess injury severity to determine claim value. With expertise in Michigan's no-fault laws, we manage personal injury protection claims while pursuing third-party liability suits against at-fault drivers to cover medical expenses and non-economic damages.
