Serving Westland and Wayne County from our Dearborn office, about 20 minutes away.
LegalSolv represents Westland clients in personal injury matters. Westland is one of the largest suburbs in Wayne County, served locally by the 18th District Court on Ford Road. Because our office is about 20 minutes away in Dearborn, you get a Wayne County firm that knows the local courts and procedures without a long drive across Metro Detroit.
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.
Personal injury lawsuits for Westland 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.
Knowing the right venue early matters. It sets the deadlines, the filing requirements, and the judges your case will be in front of, and it is one of the first things we sort out for a Westland client.
You do not need to come to Dearborn to get started. We handle the first consultation by phone or video, meet at the 18th District Court or the Wayne County courthouse on hearing days, and keep you updated directly rather than through a case manager. Our work is done in English and Arabic, which matters for many families across Wayne County.
For the full detail on how we approach these cases, see our Personal Injury practice page, or call (313) 425-5555 to talk through your situation.

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, meaning you pay nothing upfront and nothing if we don't recover money for you. Our fee comes out of the settlement or verdict at the end of the case.
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.
