Personal Injury Attorney in Detroit
Serving Detroit and Wayne County from our Dearborn office, about 15 minutes away.
LegalSolv represents Detroit clients in personal injury matters. Detroit is the largest city in Michigan and the Wayne County seat, where the county Circuit Court and the 36th District Court sit downtown. Because our office is about 15 minutes away in Dearborn, you get a Wayne County firm that knows the local courts and procedures without a long drive across Metro Detroit.
Personal Injury in Detroit
Detroit produces a high volume of auto, pedestrian, and public transit injury claims, many of them along dense corridors like Woodward, Gratiot, and Jefferson and around the downtown core. When a case goes past the PIP claim, the third-party lawsuit is filed at the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center on Woodward Avenue, where the Circuit Court's Civil Division sits.
Personal Injury matters we handle for Detroit clients
Car accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, and wrongful death. Contingency fee. No recovery, no fee.
The same attorney who takes your call handles your case from the first consultation through resolution, whether the matter settles, is negotiated, or has to be argued in court.
Where Detroit personal injury cases are handled
Personal injury lawsuits for Detroit residents are filed in the Wayne County Circuit Court, the Third Judicial Circuit, in downtown Detroit. Because Michigan is a no-fault state, most auto cases begin with a first-party PIP claim against your own insurer for medical bills and wage loss before any third-party lawsuit. Most claims settle, but the file is built from day one as if it will be tried.
For the courthouse itself (judges, contact details, case lookup, and what a first appearance looks like), see our guide to the 36th District Court in Detroit.
Sorting out the venue early matters, because it sets the deadlines, the filing requirements, and the judge your case will be in front of. It is one of the first things we settle for a Detroit client.
Official Michigan references: Michigan no-fault auto insurance (DIFS), Injury statute of limitations (MCL 600.5805).
What to expect working with us from Detroit
You do not need to come to Dearborn to get started. We handle the first consultation by phone or video, meet at the 36th District Court or the Wayne County courthouse on hearing days, and keep you updated directly rather than through a case manager. We work in English and Arabic, which matters to many families across Wayne County.

Personal injury lawsuits for Detroit residents are filed in the Wayne County Circuit Court, the Third Judicial Circuit, in downtown Detroit. Because Michigan is a no-fault state, most auto cases begin with a first-party PIP claim against your own insurer for medical bills and wage loss before any third-party lawsuit. Most claims settle, but the file is built from day one as if it will be tried.
Three years from the date of the accident for a personal injury lawsuit. Michigan's no-fault PIP benefits, however, must be filed within one year. Both clocks start the day of the crash. Missing either deadline generally bars the claim, so it's important not to wait.
No. Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis: there is no attorney fee up front, and no attorney fee unless we recover money for you. The fee comes out of the settlement or verdict at the end of the case. Case costs and expenses are a separate question from the fee, and we go through exactly how those are handled in the written fee agreement before you sign anything.
Michigan is a no-fault state. Your own auto insurance pays your medical bills and a portion of lost wages through Personal Injury Protection (PIP) regardless of who caused the crash. You can also bring a third-party tort claim against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering, but only if your injuries meet Michigan's threshold of serious impairment, permanent disfigurement, or death.
