Brighton Personal Injury Lawyers | Trial-Ready for More Than 45 Years

Brighton residents turn to Logeman & Iafrate after serious accidents. For more than 45 years, we've helped injured people throughout Livingston County rebuild their lives after car crashes, motorcycle collisions, truck wrecks, and catastrophic injuries. We're not a high-volume settlement mill; we're trial lawyers who prepare every case for trial, and insurance companies know it.

Why Brighton Residents Choose Our Firm

Brighton sits at one of the busiest junctions in the region — the US-23 and I-96 interchange — and that heavy commuter and commercial traffic, combined with lake-season congestion downtown and around the Brighton State Recreation Area, leads to serious crashes. We understand the local roads, the Livingston County Circuit Court in Howell, and the tactics insurers use to deny claims.

We offer Brighton clients:

• Six combined decades of injury-law experience between the two partners
• Free consultations and contingency-fee representation — no fees unless we win
• Decades of verdicts and settlements in serious injury cases
• Deep expertise in Michigan's no-fault system and threshold injury cases
• Compassionate support during the most challenging times of your life

Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Brighton

Our attorneys represent Brighton-area clients in car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, pedestrian and bicycle crashes, slip-and-fall and premises liability cases, dog bites, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death claims. Many of the crashes we handle happen on US-23, I-96, Grand River Avenue, Old US-23, and Lee Road.

Michigan's No-Fault System and Your Rights

After a crash you typically file with your own insurer for Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits, regardless of fault. The 2019-2020 reforms capped 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 threshold. Proving that threshold takes experienced attorneys, and we've spent decades doing exactly that.

Fighting Insurance Company Denials

Insurance companies routinely deny legitimate claims, hoping injured people give up. Over the decades we have taken insurers to trial when they refused to honor their obligations. Our verdicts and settlements include a $1.2 million recovery for a child who suffered a closed head injury in a Livingston County crash. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes; each case is decided on its own facts.

We proudly serve injured residents in Brighton and nearby communities including Brighton Township, Genoa Township, Green Oak Township, Hamburg Township, Hartland, and Howell. Whether your accident happened on US-23, I-96, or a local street, we're here to fight by your side.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims in Brighton

How does Michigan's no-fault insurance work for Brighton accident victims?

You file with your own auto insurer for PIP benefits regardless of fault, covering medical expenses, wage loss up to 85% of gross income, and replacement services. Your coverage level depends on the policy you chose, and we help Brighton residents secure the benefits they're owed.

Can I sue the at-fault driver after a Brighton car accident?

Yes, if your injuries meet Michigan's serious impairment of body function threshold. Then you can pursue pain and suffering, excess medical expenses, and damages beyond your PIP coverage.

What should I do immediately after an accident in Brighton?

Ensure safety and call 911 if there are injuries, exchange information, photograph the scene, report to police, and notify your insurer within one year. Avoid recorded statements to other insurers, then contact our office.

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

Generally three years from the date of injury, with a one-year deadline to claim no-fault PIP benefits. Wrongful death claims generally have a three-year deadline from the date of death.

Do I really need a lawyer for my Brighton accident case?

Michigan's injury laws are complex and insurers have experienced adjusters working to minimize your claim. We level the playing field, prove threshold injuries when needed, and work on contingency — no fee unless we win.
