Do these four things now

The first few days decide a lot of cases. In order:

1
See a doctor, even if you feel OKNeck, back and head injuries show up days later. If there's a gap in treatment, the insurer will use it against you. No insurance? We'll get you seen.
2
Don't give a recorded statementYou don't have to. Adjusters are trained to get you to say things that lower your claim. Say: "My lawyer will call you."
3
Keep everythingPhotos of both cars and the scene, the other driver's info, the police report number. Don't fix or scrap your car until we've looked at it. We get your police report free.
4
Don't sign anything. Call us.Early release forms and medical authorizations are written to limit what they owe you. A ten-minute call costs nothing and tells you where you stand.

What you can get paid for

A car accident claim is more than the repair bill. It covers everything the crash took from you, now and later.

Detroit car accident questions we get every day

Straight answers. No fine print.

The other driver's insurance already offered me money. Should I take it?
Almost never on the first offer. Early offers come before your injuries are fully known, and signing closes the claim forever. Let us look at it first. It's free.
What if I was partly at fault?
In Michigan, compensation is reduced by your share of fault. If your share is more than 50%, you cannot recover non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering. An insurer's claim about your share does not decide it. We review the evidence and the law that applies to your claim.
How much do you charge?
Nothing up front. We only get paid if you do. Our fee is a percentage of the money we get for you. You see it and sign it before we start. If we don't win, you owe nothing, not even case costs.

More about car accident cases in Detroit

Updated October 2026. General information, not legal advice about your case.

Car accidents in Detroit: what to know

Many of the car accident cases we see in Detroit start on I-94, I-75, I-96, the Lodge Freeway (M-10) and the Southfield Freeway, and at busy intersections on surface streets. Rear-end crashes, left-turn crashes and crashes with distracted or impaired drivers cause many serious injuries.

Michigan rules that shape your case

  • No-fault benefits first. Michigan personal injury protection (PIP) usually pays medical bills and part of lost wages, no matter who caused the crash.
  • Pain and suffering. A claim against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering is allowed only for death, a serious impairment of body function, or permanent serious disfigurement (MCL 500.3135). Your own vehicle damage claim against the other driver is limited (up to $3,000).
  • Shared fault. If you are more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover damages from the other driver. Otherwise your compensation is reduced by your share (MCL 500.3135).
  • Insurance limits. Michigan drivers can choose their liability limits. The lowest allowed is $50,000 per person and $100,000 per crash, and many policies are higher.
  • Deadlines vary. How long you have depends on the type of case and who is responsible. Claims against a government agency, such as DDOT, the City of Detroit or MDOT, can have deadlines measured in months. Call early.

Where your case is handled

Most Detroit injury lawsuits are filed in the Wayne County Circuit Court. Most cases settle before trial. When an insurer will not pay fairly, we are ready to try the case.

What to do now

  1. Get medical care, even if you feel OK. Some injuries show up days later.
  2. Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurer.
  3. Save photos, witness names and the police report number.
  4. Ask nearby businesses to save video right away. See how long camera footage is kept.
  5. Call us. The consultation is free, and there is no fee or cost unless we recover money for you.
