Wayne County recorded 50,355 traffic crashes and 177 traffic fatalities in 2024, according to the Michigan State Police Traffic Crash Reporting Unit. Statewide, Michigan saw 288,880 crashes and 1,099 fatalities that same year. Beyond auto accidents, thousands of Detroit residents are hurt each year in slip and falls, workplace accidents, and acts of medical negligence. Michigan has some of the most complicated auto insurance laws in the country, and insurance companies count on you not knowing them. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
Detroit's dangers run deep. High-crash corridors like Joy Rd at M-39 — the most dangerous intersection in Detroit according to Michigan State Police data — 7 Mile Rd at I-75, and Gratiot Avenue see some of the highest accident rates in the state. Slip and falls on neglected East Side properties, workplace accidents in Detroit's industrial corridors, and medical negligence at facilities like Detroit Receiving Hospital and Sinai-Grace Hospital hurt thousands of Detroit residents every year. Those accidents cause real damage to Detroit families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Insurance companies operating across Wayne County, Oakland County, and Macomb County often use delay, deny, and lowball tactics against Detroit families who are already dealing with enough. We know how to leverage the justice system in Wayne County courts to fight back for what you may be owed.
IMPORTANT MICHIGAN LEGAL INFORMATION
Statute of Limitations: 3 years from date of injury. Wrongful death: 3 years from date of death.
No-Fault Insurance (Critical): Michigan is no-fault. File PIP claim within 1 year of accident or lose those benefits permanently. One-year-back rule applies to all PIP benefit claims.
Serious Injury Threshold: Must meet threshold to sue for pain and suffering — serious impairment of body function, permanent serious disfigurement, or death.
Comparative Fault: Modified comparative fault. Recover if 50% or less at fault. More than 50% at fault — no non-economic damages.
Insurance Minimums: $250,000/$500,000 minimum bodily injury liability (lower limits can be selected — many drivers carry less).
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.
Insurance companies may make early low offers because they count on most people not knowing what they are owed beyond PIP coverage. They may delay, deny, and lowball — counting on confusion to push you into accepting less. TopDog Law and its co-counsel know what Michigan cases are worth and fight for every dollar.
