Why Choose Us

A Team That Doesn't Back Down From Insurance Adjusters

After a car accident, you're not just dealing with an injury — you're dealing with an insurance company whose job is to pay you as little as possible.

That's where having a team matters. You get an attorney with real courtroom experience, backed by people who investigate the crash fast, gather the evidence adjusters hope disappears, and negotiate from a position of strength.

It's the difference between a lowball settlement and full compensation — and it's why we prepare every car accident case as if it's headed to trial from day one.

Car Accidents

We Know These Roads

Traverse City's roads carry a very different kind of traffic depending on the season — summer tourists unfamiliar with local intersections, winter black ice on M-72 and M-37, and deer collisions that spike every fall along rural stretches of Grand Traverse County.

Whether your crash happened at a busy intersection downtown, on the Cass Road corridor, or out on US-31 near the bay, we investigate quickly, deal directly with the insurance company, and fight for the full value of your claim under Michigan's no-fault law.

Rear-end collisions, head-on crashes, hit-and-runs, distracted and drunk driving cases — we've handled the full range, and we know exactly what it takes to build a case insurance adjusters can't ignore.

What To Do Next

After a Car Accident in Traverse City

What you do in the hours and days after a crash can determine whether you recover full compensation.

1

Seek medical attention immediately

Some injuries — like whiplash or concussions — don't show symptoms right away. Documentation matters.

2

Call the police and get a report

An official accident report is one of the most important pieces of evidence in your case.

3

Photograph the scene

Vehicle damage, road conditions, skid marks, and injuries all matter. Take photos before anything is moved or repaired.

4

Exchange information, not opinions

Get the other driver's information and witness contacts, but avoid discussing fault at the scene.

5

Avoid giving a recorded statement

Insurance adjusters may call quickly and sound friendly — their goal is to minimize your payout. Talk to us first.

The sooner we start investigating, the stronger your case. Evidence disappears fast — skid marks fade, surveillance footage gets overwritten, memories blur.

Common Questions

Car Accident FAQ

Answers to the questions Traverse City clients ask us most.

How does Michigan's no-fault insurance work?

Under Michigan's no-fault law, your own insurance pays your medical bills and lost wages regardless of who caused the crash. You can still pursue a separate claim against the at-fault driver for pain, suffering, and damages beyond no-fault coverage if your injuries meet the threshold for a serious impairment.

What if the other driver was uninsured?

Michigan requires uninsured motorist coverage to be offered on every policy, though drivers can decline it. If you have this coverage, it can help cover your losses. We'll review your policy to identify every available source of recovery.

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Michigan?

Generally three years from the date of the accident for a third-party injury claim, though there are shorter deadlines for no-fault benefit claims. Don't wait — evidence and witness memories fade quickly.

Will my case go to trial?

Most cases settle before trial, but we prepare every case as if it's headed to court. Insurance companies negotiate differently when they know a firm is actually willing to litigate.

What does it cost to hire a car accident lawyer?

Nothing upfront. We work on contingency — our fee is a percentage of what we recover, and if we don't win, you owe nothing.
