Ann Arbor Car Accident Lawyers
Ann Arbor's highways — US-23, I-94, and M-14 — are among Southeast Michigan's most dangerous for serious crashes. When you're injured, our Ann Arbor attorneys fight for the full compensation you deserve.
Ann Arbor Car Accident Attorneys Serving Washtenaw County
Ann Arbor presents a uniquely challenging traffic environment. The city is anchored by the University of Michigan, home to over 47,000 students and tens of thousands of daily faculty, staff, and visitors — creating dense stop-and-go conditions on Washtenaw Avenue, Stadium Boulevard, and the Plymouth Road corridor. Surrounding the city, US-23, I-94, and M-14 carry high-speed commuter and commercial traffic between Ann Arbor and Metro Detroit. The US-23/I-94 interchange in particular is one of Southeast Michigan's most frequently cited high-accident locations. When a crash on any of these roads leaves you with serious injuries, the path to full compensation runs through a firm that knows this jurisdiction deeply.
Our South State Street office in Ann Arbor serves injury victims throughout Washtenaw County. We practice in Washtenaw County Circuit Court and before the 14A-1 District Court, and we know the local insurance defense firms, the medical providers who treat serious trauma in this region, and the evidentiary standards that Washtenaw County judges apply. That local knowledge makes a direct difference in the outcome of your case.
University of Michigan Health: The Region's Level I Trauma Center
Ann Arbor is home to the University of Michigan Health System — one of only a handful of designated Level I Trauma Centers in Michigan. This means the area's most seriously injured car accident victims are often treated at U-M's Michigan Medicine facility, where complex spinal surgeries, traumatic brain injury rehabilitation, and long-term recovery programs are conducted. Our attorneys work with U-M Health's medical documentation teams to ensure that every element of your treatment — emergency surgery, ICU stays, rehabilitation protocols, and projected future care needs — is fully captured and presented to the insurer. The gap between what an insurer initially offers and what a serious U-M trauma case is actually worth can be enormous. We close that gap.
Key High-Risk Roads in Washtenaw County
Our Ann Arbor attorneys have handled car accident cases from crashes on US-23 north and south of Ann Arbor — notorious for high-speed rear-end collisions in heavy commuter traffic — I-94 eastbound at the State Street and Carpenter Road interchanges, M-14 between Ann Arbor and Plymouth (a high-speed commuter route with limited enforcement), Washtenaw Avenue through Ypsilanti (one of the county's highest-volume surface streets), and Plymouth Road through the North Campus corridor. Understanding the specific dynamics of each crash location is part of how we build a case that is difficult for any insurer to minimize.
