Personal Injury Attorneys in Detroit, MI

Detroit’s busy roadways, commercial districts, and thriving business community create an environment where accidents are common. Our experienced team of personal injury lawyers in Detroit represents plaintiffs throughout Wayne County. We pursue the best outcome for every client, whether that means negotiating a settlement or taking the case to trial.
Our practice areas include:

Car & Truck Accident Litigation

We represent victims of trucking cases involving multiple parties and significant damages.

Dog Bites & Animal Attacks

We pursue compensation from negligent owners under Michigan’s dog bite protections, representing clients dealing with puncture wounds, scarring, and lasting fear of dogs.

Medical Provider & No-Fault Claims

We represent Michigan medical providers in No-Fault reimbursement disputes and handle the PIP side of a client’s case alongside the injury claim itself, so clients aren’t left to navigate insurance billing disputes on their own.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are some of the most vulnerable drivers on the road. We advocate for injured riders after collisions caused by careless or reckless motorists.

Other Negligence Cases

We also handle ATV and UTV crashes, snowmobile accidents, defective product claims, wrongful death cases, and other injury matters where someone else’s negligence caused serious harm.

Pedestrian & Bicycle Accidents

Pedestrians, cyclists, and e-bike riders face unique risks on Detroit’s streets. We investigate the scene and available insurance coverage to build the strongest possible claim for injured riders and walkers.

Slip-and-Falls & Premises Liability

We represent plaintiffs injured by dangerous property conditions when an owner fails its duty to maintain reasonably safe premises.

Uber & Lyft Accidents

We help injured passengers with rideshare-related bodily injury claims involving Michigan No-Fault coverage.

Your case doesn’t need to fit neatly into any of these categories for us to review it. Contact our team today so we can help you get started on the road to recovery.

How VanStone Builds Your Case

One of the easiest mistakes in personal injury law is treating every case the same. Two people can have the same diagnosis and very different circumstances. VanStone’s attorneys and legal team work to document not only the medical diagnosis, but how an injury affects work, family responsibilities, activities, and everyday life.

Why Choose VanStone Injury Law in Detroit?

Detroit’s courts handle a high volume of personal injury cases, and every case brings its own set of facts. VanStone Injury Law works to understand each stage of the process, so plaintiffs know what to expect.

Experience With Detroit's High-Volume Litigation

Our attorneys understand the legal and procedural challenges that often arise in Wayne County and develop strategies tailored to the facts of each case.

Prepared for Settlement or Trial

While many injury claims can be resolved through negotiation, not every case should settle. Our plaintiff attorneys in Detroit prepare every matter as though it may go before a judge or jury.

Convenient Representation Across Metro Detroit

Whether you live in Downtown Detroit, Midtown, Corktown, Greektown, East English Village, or another Detroit neighborhood, our team makes it easy to get experienced legal guidance across Wayne County.

Local Knowledge of Detroit Courts and Personal Injury Law

Understanding local court procedures, filing requirements, and the strategies defense attorneys commonly use makes a meaningful difference throughout litigation. VanStone Injury Law prepares every case thoroughly, whether it resolves through negotiation or proceeds to trial.

No Fee Unless We Win

VanStone Injury Law handles qualifying personal injury matters on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation on your behalf.

Proven Results for Michigan Plaintiffs

Every Detroit personal injury case is different, but our goal remains the same: helping injured victims recover as efficiently and successfully as possible.

Experts at Car Accidents & Michigan No-Fault Claims

Car and truck crash litigation is one of the most common types of cases we handle in Detroit. These complex cases require more than simply deciding who caused the crash. They often involve hit-and-run incidents, uninsured vehicles, disputed fault, pre-existing injuries, commercial vehicles, and uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.
Michigan No-Fault adds another layer. Depending on the facts and available insurance coverage, an injured person may have claims for medical expenses, wage loss, replacement services, attendant care, and other PIP benefits.
VanStone also represents Michigan medical providers in No-Fault disputes, which gives our attorneys experience with billing disputes, treatment denials, and fee-schedule issues most injury firms never deal with. Many firms handle only the injury claim. We handle both the injury claim and the No-Fault issues from the same accident.
An injured person shouldn’t have to become an insurance expert because someone crashed into them. Let us handle the paperwork, so you can focus on recovering.

Car Accident on the side of the road

$500,000

Passenger Injured in Uber Crash

Our client was riding in a rideshare vehicle with a broken seatbelt when a crash caused a sudden stop, resulting in shoulder and spine injuries requiring rotator-cuff surgery.

$350,000

Hit-and-Run Recovery

A hit-and-run driver ran a stop sign, struck our client’s vehicle, and left the scene. VanStone compared pre- and post-crash medical imaging to counter the defense’s pre-existing-injury argument.

$150,000

Recovery After a Fall Outside a Retailer

Snow concealed an open drain, injuring our client’s knee, ankle, and wrist. VanStone developed evidence on who was responsible for maintaining the area and obtained testimony to counter the defense.
The recovery amounts published on this site may be reduced from the actual amounts, and certain facts may be generalized, altered, or omitted to protect client anonymity. Past results do not guarantee similar outcomes. Every case depends on its own facts, injuries, evidence, insurance coverage, and applicable law.

Bringing Justice to Detroit & Wayne County

Detroit’s serious crashes cluster on specific corridors. Gratiot Avenue alone has seen thousands of crashes and over a thousand injuries in five years, with intersections like Greenfield & Plymouth, Conner & Gratiot, Outer Drive East & Ryan, and Moross & Kelly among the city’s most dangerous.
We handle cases anywhere in Detroit, including along Gratiot, Grand River, Woodward, Michigan, Jefferson, 7 Mile, Plymouth, Warren, and Livernois Avenues, and I-75, I-94, I-96, and the Lodge.
Most Detroit personal injury lawsuits are litigated in Wayne County’s Third Judicial Circuit Court, where our attorneys handle discovery, depositions, motions, medical experts, and trial preparation. We also start work before a lawsuit is ever filed, investigating fault, locating coverage, preserving evidence, and securing records early, when it matters most.

Not always. The proper venue depends on the facts of the case and the parties involved.

It can be useful to understand your rights before a problem develops. A consultation does not require you to hire VanStone. You can learn what claims and insurance benefits may be available before deciding whether you need representation.

Many Michigan personal injury lawsuits are subject to a three-year filing deadline, but different deadlines can apply depending on the type of claim and the facts involved. Speaking with a personal injury lawyer in Detroit early can help determine which deadline applies to your case.

You do not need to determine that on your own. A personal injury attorney in Detroit can review how the injury happened, who may be responsible, what insurance applies, and whether there may be a claim.
