Birmingham personal injury attorney handling auto, premises, dog bite & wrongful death claims. Serving Birmingham. Based in Southfield.
The injuries we handle range from those that heal in weeks to those that change a life permanently. Even injuries that seem minor at first can develop into serious problems, so prompt medical care protects both your health and your claim.
- Whiplash and soft-tissue injuries
- Broken bones and fractures
- Back, neck, and spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries and concussions
- Internal injuries

- Out-of-pocket costs tied to your injury
- Loss of enjoyment of life
To recover, we generally must show that another party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused your injury, resulting in real damages. We build that proof through evidence, records, expert input where needed, and a clear account of how the injury has affected your life. Michigan also uses a comparative fault system, which can reduce a recovery if the injured person shares some blame, so how fault is framed matters a great deal.
If your injury involves a motor vehicle, Michigan’s no-fault law controls how your medical care and wage loss are paid and sets a legal threshold you must meet to pursue a third-party claim for pain and suffering. After a crash, your own Personal Injury Protection coverage generally pays your initial medical care and a portion of lost income regardless of fault. These rules are easy to get wrong and the deadlines are unforgiving. We make sure your claim is structured correctly from day one.
Insurers look for any reason to reduce or deny what they pay. Avoid these common missteps:
- Giving a recorded statement before speaking with a lawyer
- Posting about the accident or your activities on social media
- Gaps in medical treatment that insurers use against you
- Accepting a fast, low settlement before injuries are fully known
- Waiting too long and letting deadlines or evidence slip away
Throughout the process we keep you informed and make sure the major decisions are yours to make, with our guidance.
Free Consultation
We review what happened, explain your options, and answer your questions at no cost.
Investigation
We gather evidence, records, photos, and witness statements to build your case.
Treatment & Documentation
We track your medical care and document the full impact your injuries have had on your life.

Litigation if Needed
If the insurer refuses to be reasonable, we are fully prepared to file suit and take your case to trial.
There is no single formula, but the value of a claim generally reflects the combination of measurable financial losses and the harder-to-quantify human impact of an injury. We document both thoroughly so nothing is undervalued.
Factors That Affect Value
- The severity and permanence of your injuries
- Total medical costs, including future care
- Lost income and any reduction in earning capacity
- The degree of pain, suffering, and disruption to your life
- Available insurance coverage and liability
- The strength of the evidence and degree of any shared fault

What kinds of injury cases do you handle in Birmingham?
Auto crashes on Woodward and Adams, premises and slip-and-fall claims at downtown businesses, dog bites, and wrongful death. We identify which claim and which insurance applies, then pursue every avenue.
Could there be more insurance coverage than a standard policy?
Sometimes, yes. In an affluent community like Birmingham, higher-limit and umbrella policies can apply. We look beyond a base policy so a serious injury is valued for its true impact.
How is my Birmingham injury claim valued?
By the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost income, and long-term impact. We document all of it and build the claim to full value rather than accepting an early, discounted offer.
Does it cost anything to start?
No. We work on contingency, you pay nothing upfront and owe no attorney fee unless we recover compensation.
How soon should I contact a lawyer after a Birmingham injury?
As soon as possible. Michigan deadlines are strict, and evidence at busy downtown properties is best secured early.
Personal Injury Claims in Birmingham
Personal injuries in Birmingham span its busy downtown and its affluent residential neighborhoods, auto collisions on Woodward and Adams, premises injuries in its upscale retail and dining district, and incidents on private property. When negligence causes harm, the responsible party is often a driver, a business, a property owner, or an insurer working to minimize what it pays.
We handle the full range of injury claims, identify every source of liability and available coverage, and build each case to its real value rather than accepting a quick, low settlement. Birmingham\u2019s dense, high-traffic downtown produces a steady volume of serious injury cases.
Serious injuries are commonly treated at Corewell Health Beaumont Royal Oak on West Thirteen Mile Road, minutes from Birmingham. Prompt treatment and complete documentation are critical to both recovery and proving the extent of your injuries.
Injury lawsuits involving Birmingham are filed in Oakland County Circuit Court in Pontiac, with related matters running through the 48th District Court in Bloomfield Hills. Michigan deadlines are strict and vary by claim type, so acting early protects your right to recover.

How Personal Injury Cases Work in Birmingham
Birmingham injury claims often carry higher value than its compact size suggests, serious crashes on the busy Woodward corridor, premises incidents at its upscale downtown businesses, and injuries on substantial private properties. Identifying exactly which type of claim, and which sources of insurance, apply is the first task in any Birmingham case.
We pursue every avenue at once, no-fault benefits, third-party liability, premises and business coverage, or homeowner\u2019s policies as the facts require. In an affluent community, higher-limit and umbrella policies sometimes apply, and we look beyond a base policy so a serious injury is valued for its true impact rather than settled quickly and cheaply.
