Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Ann Arbor

Our Ann Arbor personal injury attorneys represent clients in a wide range of accident cases throughout Washtenaw County:

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Car accidents remain the most common personal injury cases we handle. Ann Arbor's busy streets—from Stadium Boulevard to Washtenaw Avenue—see serious crashes every week. We help accident victims navigate Michigan's no-fault insurance system while pursuing full compensation from at-fault drivers when injuries meet Michigan's threshold.

Bicycle and Scooter Accidents

Ann Arbor has invested heavily in bicycle infrastructure and earned recognition as one of America's most bike-friendly cities. Despite these efforts, careless drivers continue to injure cyclists and scooter riders. We fight for vulnerable road users who've been struck by distracted or negligent motorists.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle crashes frequently result in catastrophic injuries. Michigan law requires the at-fault driver's insurance to cover medical expenses for motorcycle occupants, but insurers often deny these claims. We've represented many seriously injured riders throughout Washtenaw County.

Truck Accidents

Commercial truck accidents involving semi-trucks and tractor-trailers cause devastating injuries. These cases involve complex federal regulations and multiple potentially liable parties. Our attorneys have the experience and resources to take on trucking companies and their insurers.

Catastrophic Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, amputations, and severe burns require lifetime medical care. We work with life care planners and medical experts to document the full cost of catastrophic injuries and fight for compensation that covers future needs.

Construction Accidents

Ann Arbor's ongoing development means construction workers face serious risks daily. We help injured workers pursue both workers' compensation benefits and third-party claims against negligent contractors, property owners, and equipment manufacturers.

Premises Liability

Property owners in Ann Arbor have a duty to maintain safe conditions. When negligent maintenance causes slip and fall accidents, inadequate security leads to assaults, or dangerous conditions injure visitors, we hold property owners accountable.

Wrongful Death

When negligence takes a loved one, Michigan's Wrongful Death Act allows families to pursue justice and compensation. We provide compassionate representation to grieving families while pursuing the damages they need.

Understanding Michigan's No-Fault Insurance System

Michigan's no-fault auto insurance system is unique and confusing. After an accident, you typically file with your own insurer for Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits—regardless of fault. The 2019-2020 reforms significantly changed the landscape, capping PIP medical benefits for many drivers.

You can sue the at-fault driver for pain and suffering only if your injuries meet Michigan's serious impairment of body function threshold. Successfully proving threshold injuries requires experienced attorneys who understand Michigan case law. We've spent decades mastering these complex claims and pursuing full recoveries for Ann Arbor accident victims.

Fighting Insurance Company Denials

Insurance companies routinely deny legitimate claims, hoping injured people will give up. They argue injuries are unrelated to accidents, treatment is unnecessary, or coverage doesn't apply. We've heard every excuse—and we've beaten them in Washtenaw County courtrooms.

Over the decades, we have taken insurers to trial when they refused to honor their obligations. When your insurer denies benefits you're entitled to receive, we're prepared to take your case to trial.

Serving Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County Communities

We proudly serve injured residents throughout the Ann Arbor area and Washtenaw County, including Ypsilanti, Saline, Dexter, Chelsea, Milan, and surrounding communities. Whether your accident happened on US-23, I-94, or local streets, we're here to fight by your side.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims in Ann Arbor

How does Michigan's no-fault insurance system work for Ann Arbor accident victims?

Under Michigan's no-fault system, you file a claim with your own auto insurance for Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits—regardless of who caused the accident. PIP covers medical expenses, lost wages (up to 85% of gross income), and replacement services. Your coverage level depends on your policy choice: unlimited, $500,000, $250,000, or $50,000. Understanding your coverage before an accident is critical, and our attorneys help Ann Arbor residents secure the PIP benefits they're owed.

Can I sue the at-fault driver after a car accident in Ann Arbor?

Yes, but only if your injuries meet Michigan's serious impairment of body function threshold—an objectively manifested impairment of an important body function that affects your general ability to lead your normal life. If you meet this threshold, you can pursue compensation for pain and suffering, excess medical expenses, and damages beyond your PIP coverage. Our attorneys have extensive experience proving threshold injuries for Ann Arbor accident victims.

What should I do immediately after an accident in Ann Arbor?

First, ensure everyone's safety and call 911 if there are injuries. Move to a safe location if possible, exchange insurance and contact information with other drivers, and document the scene with photos. Report the accident to police and notify your own insurance company within one year to preserve your PIP benefits. Avoid admitting fault or making recorded statements to other insurers without legal counsel. Then contact our Ann Arbor office for a free consultation.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Michigan?

Michigan's statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three years from the date of injury. However, no-fault PIP benefits must be claimed within one year of the accident. Wrongful death claims have a three-year deadline from the date of death. These deadlines are strict, so it's essential to contact an Ann Arbor personal injury attorney as soon as possible after your accident.

What damages can I recover in an Ann Arbor personal injury case?

You may recover PIP benefits from your own insurer for medical expenses, wage loss, and replacement services. If your injuries meet Michigan's threshold, you can also pursue a third-party claim against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering, excess economic damages beyond your PIP limits, and other losses. In wrongful death cases, families can recover for loss of society and companionship, funeral expenses, and the deceased's pain and suffering. Our attorneys work to recover every category of damages available under Michigan law.

Do I really need a lawyer for my Ann Arbor accident case?

Michigan's personal injury laws are complex, and insurance companies have experienced adjusters and attorneys working to minimize your claim. An experienced Ann Arbor personal injury lawyer levels the playing field, handles all negotiations and paperwork, proves threshold injuries when necessary, and pursues full compensation. We offer free consultations and work on contingency—you pay nothing unless we win. There's no cost to finding out what your case may be worth.
