Case Types We Handle In Grand Rapids
You focus on healing. We focus on winning the compensation you deserve.
A serious injury can change your life in an instant. You are suddenly overwhelmed by unexpected medical
bills, lost income and extensive medical care that could include surgery and rehabilitative therapy.
Insurance companies may pressure you to accept a hasty, low-ball settlement, increasing your stress even
more. That’s where we come in.
Our experienced Michigan personal injury attorneys represent people—not corporations—across a wide
range of cases. Whether you were hurt in an auto accident, harmed by medical negligence or injured due
to unsafe conditions, we make sure you receive the compensation you deserve. This includes medical care,
lost income, future needs and intangible losses such as pain and suffering.
We take care of your legal issues so you can focus on recovering from your injuries.
And every client gets our No Fee Guarantee®. You don’t pay us anything unless we win your case.
Car Accidents
Whether you are a driver, passenger or pedestrian, hiring our winning legal team is the best way to protect your rights, stand up to the insurance companies and receive significant compensation for your losses, including medical bills, pain and suffering and future expenses.
Motorcycle Accidents
Many of our lawyers ride, so we understand the joys of biking and the devastating injuries that can result from a motorcycle crash. When you hire us, you can focus on recovering while we fight to win every dollar you deserve to cover your losses, now and in the future.
Medical Malpractice
A botched surgery, medication error or other medical mistake can have disastrous consequences, including death. If you are the victim of a negligent medical professional or facility, our experienced medical malpractice lawyers fight to win the compensation you deserve.
Semi Truck Accidents
When you are injured in a semi-truck crash, you may encounter complex laws and multiple responsible parties. Our experienced legal team will navigate these legal challenges and win the compensation you deserve so you can recover from your injuries.
Birth Injuries & Cerebral Palsy
Birth injuries can be devastating for parents, financially and emotionally. If your child has Cerebral Palsy or another birth-related condition resulting from a medical mistake, our compassionate and experienced lawyers will win the compensation you deserve to protect your family’s future.
Nursing Home Neglect & Abuse
You trust a nursing home to provide professional, compassionate care for your loved one, yet many vulnerable seniors are neglected or abused. We can protect your family member and hold the guilty parties responsible for the damages they caused, financial and emotional.
Pedestrian Accidents
A rise in distracted driving, speeding and the popularity of SUVs have caused pedestrian deaths and serious injuries to increase dramatically over the last decade. Our lawyers’ extensive experience and unparalleled knowledge of Michigan No-Fault law mean higher settlements for clients like you.
Bicycle Accidents
Bicyclists have little protection against the impact of a car or truck. If you are seriously injured by a careless driver, our skilled legal team will help you recoup your losses, including intangible damages such as pain and suffering.
E-Bike Accidents
Whether you were hurt riding an e-bike or struck by an e-bike rider, hiring our winning legal team is the best way to protect your rights, stand up to insurance companies and pursue compensation for your losses, including medical bills, pain and suffering and future expenses.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Recent changes to Michigan slip and fall law make it easier to receive compensation if you are injured on someone else’s property. Our qualified personal injury lawyers know how to hold negligent property owners accountable and win the compensation you are entitled to.
Dog Bites
Dog owners have a responsibility to keep others safe. When they fail, we fight for the compensation you deserve.
Head or Brain Injury
A traumatic brain injury can have serious, long-lasting consequences. If a negligent driver or property owner was responsible for your injury, our winning legal team will fight for the compensation to protect you and your family now and in the future.
Defective Products
A faulty or malfunctioning product can cause serious injury or death. Whether you or a loved one is harmed by a defective snow blower, automobile or toy, our experienced product liability lawyers will achieve the best possible results for every victim.
Boat Accidents
Boating injury lawsuits are especially challenging, often involving multiple parties and complex Maritime laws. If you are injured in a boat-related accident on land or at sea, we will determine who is responsible and hold them accountable for the harm they caused.
Amputations
Many amputations result from negligent individuals or companies who are responsible for car crashes, malfunctioning machines and tools, construction site hazards and nursing home neglect. We have the know-how, experience and resources to take on these complex cases and win what you deserve.
Broken Bones
Broken bones can be painful and debilitating. You may need surgery, rehabilitative therapy and home help before you can return to work or resume normal activities. Missed paychecks and mounting bills create additional stress. Our knowledgeable personal injury lawyers help you put the pieces back together.
Back Injury
A car crash or other traumatic event can cause serious back and spinal cord injuries. Some injuries can be healed by surgery and therapy, while others may result in lifelong disability. Our experienced lawyers will stand up to the insurance companies to protect the rights of you and your family.
Burn Injury
Burn injuries can have devastating consequences, including permanent disfigurement, damaged internal organs, infections and persistent pain. If your injuries were caused by a negligent person or business or a defective product, we will fight to win substantial reimbursement for your physical, emotional and financial damages.
Hip Device Recall
If your hip replacement implant was recalled due to potentially dangerous metal ions, you may be entitled to compensation from the device manufacturer. Because Michigan law favors companies whose products have FDA approval, you need an experienced hip device recall lawyer who knows how to win these challenging cases.
Cancer Misdiagnosis
A cancer diagnosis is frightening, but a misdiagnosis can be tragic. If you missed out on potentially life-saving treatment because of a negligent physician or inaccurate lab results, we will help you receive every dollar you deserve.
Heart Attack Misdiagnosis
Misdiagnosing a heart attack can mean the difference between life and death. Failing to recognize and treat this very serious condition can result in further heart damage or death. If you are harmed by a negligent physician, our qualified medical malpractice lawyers will win the compensation you deserve.
Reflex Sympathetic Disorder
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), is a little-understood, extremely painful neurological condition that often worsens over time. It may be triggered by an injury or develop for no apparent reason. Winning compensation in these cases can be challenging. Our experienced RSD lawyers won’t back down until we win.
Workers’ Compensation
Workers’ Compensation covers medical expenses and a portion of lost wages for work-related injuries and illnesses. Because these benefits are governed by complicated laws and strict filing requirements, hiring our specialized team of Workers’ Comp lawyers will help ensure the most successful outcome.
Job Discrimination
Michigan employers are forbidden by law to make workplace decisions such as hiring and firing based on sex, race, age, religion, disability and other factors. Illegal job discrimination can cause financial and emotional hardship for the entire family. We help you fight back.
Sexual Assault
Sexual assault is a traumatic experience that causes physical harm and long-lasting emotional damage. Survivors may become depressed and have trouble maintaining healthy relationships. Our compassionate lawyers have helped many survivors win compensation from those responsible for their ordeal. We can do the same for you.
Airplane Crashes
In addition to plane crashes, equipment malfunctions, aggressive passengers and other aviation-related incidents can cause emotional and physical harm to passengers and crew members. Our experienced airline accident lawyers help victims receive compensation for their plane-related injuries.
Cruise Ship Accidents
Cruise ship injury cases can be complicated, especially if you are hurt on shore or in international waters. To receive compensation, you need experienced lawyers with expertise in this specialized area of the law. We have what it takes to win what you deserve.
