The Michigan drunk driver accident lawyers at our firm represent injury victims against drunk drivers and the establishment that served the alcohol. Motorists and pedestrians injured by Michigan drunk and intoxicated drivers have legal rights against the negligent driver and often also against the bar, restaurant, or establishment that served the drunk driver the alcohol that caused the intoxication. This is called a Dram Shop case. The establishment that served the alcohol can be sued for furnishing an intoxicated person alcohol before they got behind the wheel of an automobile.

Our Michigan pedestrian accident lawyers and Michigan bicycle accident injury attorney represent victims of these accidents on streets, highways, and roadways. We also handle bike injury and pedestrian injury clients from accidents in parking lots and in crosswalks.

The Michigan slip and fall lawyers at our firm have obtained significant settlements and jury verdicts in a variety of premises liability claims.

Property owners usually deny responsibility for the negligent practices and we step in to hold them accountable for your injuries.

Raising a healthy child is difficult enough, but raising a special needs child poses additional significant challenges to parents. A child born with cerebral palsy or birth injury will often require both specialized education and housing accommodations, not to mention the significant lifetime medical expenses. And who will take of your child when you are no longer able to do it?

Placing your family member in a Michigan nursing home or extended care facility was one of the most difficult choices you ever had to make. When you finally made that decision, you set out to find the residence that would provide a safe environment and the most nurturing care possible. You trusted your loved one to the staff of that nursing home.
You may have gotten the dreaded phone call that "there was an accident" or "we had to take him to the emergency room." Or, you may have seen the injury or bedsore yourself, only to be told or "we don't know how it happened." When that happened, you felt betrayed and rightfully so. You can do something about it.

Our Michigan wrongful death lawyers have achieved tremendous results for clients in Michigan Wrongful Death Cases. The Michigan wrongful death statute permits family members and relatives to obtain compensation for their losses, including loss of society and companionship, loss of support, and economic loss. The estate of the deceased individual can also be compensated for his conscious pain and suffering.

A traumatic brain injury or closed head injury results when there is either an actual blow to the head or a force that causes an acceleration-deceleration movement of the head.
