Detroit IsDangerous

Wayne County recorded 50,355 traffic crashes in 2024 according to the Michigan State Police. The most dangerous intersection in Detroit is Joy Rd at M-39, which saw 78 crashes in 2024 alone, followed by 7 Mile Rd at I-75 with 69 crashes, according to Michigan State Police Traffic Crash Reporting Unit data. Michigan's complicated no-fault system means most people who were hurt leave money on the table — they settle their PIP claim without ever pursuing the third-party claim they were also entitled to. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.

TopDog Law fighting for injury victims in Detroit

We KnowThis City

From Joy Road to Gratiot Avenue to the Lodge Freeway — we know where Detroit's most dangerous crashes happen and we know how to build a case around them. When our clients end up at Detroit Receiving Hospital or Sinai-Grace after a serious crash, we know those facilities and what that treatment means for the value of your case. Those accidents cause real damage to Detroit families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.

We FightFor You

Insurance companies operating across Wayne County, Oakland County, and Macomb County often use delay, deny, and lowball tactics — exploiting Michigan's no-fault system to minimize what they pay. They use the PIP structure and the serious injury threshold as tools against injured people every day. We know how to leverage the justice system in Wayne County courts to fight back for what you may be owed.

Warning

IMPORTANT MICHIGAN LEGAL INFORMATION — CAR ACCIDENTS

Statute of Limitations: 3 years to sue the at-fault driver. PIP benefits must be claimed within 1 year of the accident.

No-Fault / PIP: File PIP claim with your own insurer within 1 year. One-year-back rule limits recovery.

Serious Injury Threshold: Serious impairment of body function, permanent disfigurement, or death required to sue for pain and suffering.

Comparative Fault: Modified comparative fault. Recover if 50% or less at fault.

Insurance Minimums: $250,000/$500,000 minimum (lower limits can be selected).

This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.

Your Case May Be Worth More Than They're Telling You.

Insurance companies may make early low offers because they count on most people not knowing what they are owed beyond basic PIP coverage. They may delay, deny, and lowball — counting on Michigan's complex no-fault system to confuse and undercut injured people. TopDog Law and its co-counsel know how Michigan's system works and fight for the full recovery.
