Understanding Personal Injury Cases in Michigan

Accidents happen every day in Michigan—from car crashes on I-75 to slip-and-fall injuries at local businesses. When someone else’s negligence causes you harm, Michigan law gives you the right to pursue a personal injury claim. At Seva Law Firm, we help injured clients recover the compensation they deserve so they can focus on healing.

What Is a Personal Injury Case?

A personal injury case arises when a person suffers physical, emotional, or financial harm because of another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions. Common types of personal injury cases in Michigan include:

  • Car accidents – Michigan’s no-fault system provides some benefits, but seriously injured victims can still sue negligent drivers.

  • Motorcycle accidents – Riders are especially vulnerable, often suffering catastrophic injuries.

  • Truck accidents – Crashes involving commercial trucks can lead to complex claims involving multiple parties.

  • Slip-and-fall accidents – Property owners must keep their premises safe for visitors.

  • Medical malpractice – Patients have the right to competent and professional care.

  • Wrongful death – Families may seek justice when a loved one’s life is cut short due to negligence.

Michigan’s No-Fault Insurance System

Michigan is a no-fault insurance state, which means:

  • Your own auto insurance generally pays for your medical bills and lost wages, no matter who caused the accident.

  • However, if you suffer a serious impairment of body function, you may pursue a lawsuit against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering damages.

Because no-fault law is complex, working with an experienced attorney ensures you don’t miss out on compensation you’re entitled to.

Damages You May Recover

In a Michigan personal injury case, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (past, current, and future)

  • Lost wages and future earning potential

  • Pain and suffering

  • Emotional distress

  • Loss of enjoyment of life

  • Property damage (vehicle repair or replacement)

  • Investigate your case thoroughly

  • Gather medical records, accident reports, and witness testimony

  • Negotiate aggressively with insurers

  • Take your case to trial if necessary

Our promise: No Win, No Fee. You don’t pay unless we win your case.
