A job should never cost a worker their life.

Depending on the case, recovery can include losses to the surviving family and, in many cases, the estate. We handle these matters with the sensitivity they require so the family can focus on healing.

Michigan's wrongful death law defines who may bring a claim and how it must be handled. Because the rules are specific and the deadlines are firm, early guidance helps a family avoid missteps.

As soon as you can. Early involvement helps protect evidence, avoid mistakes with insurers, and keep your claim on track before important deadlines pass.

Keep anything related to the incident and your recovery: medical records and bills, photos, the police or incident report, insurance letters, and a simple record of missed work and out-of-pocket costs.

Depending on your situation, options may include your own health insurance, No-Fault benefits, or arrangements with providers. We can help you understand what may be available while your case moves forward.

Early offers are often lower than what a claim may be worth, and accepting one can waive your right to seek more. Let us review the offer for free before you decide.

Be careful. Insurance adjusters may ask for recorded statements or push for a quick, low settlement. It is usually best to speak with a lawyer before giving a statement or signing anything.

We handle a wide range of personal injury matters, including car and truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, medical malpractice, wrongful death, slip and fall, dog bites, and other serious injury claims.

Our home is metro Detroit and we serve clients throughout Michigan, and we also represent clients nationwide. Where a matter requires it, we coordinate with local counsel.

You may still be able to recover compensation even if you were partly at fault. Michigan law can reduce a recovery based on your share of fault, so it is worth having us review the details.

It depends on the complexity of the case, the injuries involved, and whether the other side is willing to settle fairly. Some cases resolve in months, others take longer. We work to move your case as efficiently as possible.

Many personal injury cases settle without a trial. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to take your case to court. We will explain your options at every step.

Every case is different. Value depends on factors like medical costs, lost income, the severity of your injuries, and their long-term impact. We can review your situation for free and give you an honest assessment.

Get medical attention first, even if you feel fine. Then, if you can, document the scene, keep records of your treatment and expenses, and be careful about giving recorded statements to insurers before speaking with a lawyer.

Michigan sets filing deadlines, called statutes of limitation, that vary by the type of case. Because missing a deadline can end your claim, it is best to contact us as soon as possible so we can review the timeline that applies to you.
