Were You Injured in Wayne County?

Personal Injury Legal Services in Wayne County

Fault isn’t always the only issue in an injury claim. Questions can also come up about insurance coverage, medical treatment, or whether an insurer will try to connect your symptoms to an older injury.

Our team investigates those issues and builds the case around what the evidence shows and how the injury has affected your life.

Our practice areas include:

Car & Truck Accident Litigation

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

Uber & Lyft Accidents

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

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.

Pedestrian & Bicycle Accidents

Pedestrians, cyclists, and e-bike riders face unique risks on Wayne County’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.

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.

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.

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 Wayne County?

What matters in an injury case can change as treatment continues and more information becomes available. We keep track of those changes and make sure the case develops with them.

We Look at What Drives Case Value

Case value depends on the full impact of the injury, from the treatment you’ve needed to the ways it has affected your work and everyday life. We build those details into the case so its value reflects more than a diagnosis or medical bill.

You Know Where Your Case Stands

Questions come up as a case moves forward. Our team keeps you informed about what we’re working on, what we need from you, and what comes next.

One Team Across Wayne County

From Detroit and Dearborn to Livonia, Canton, Taylor, and Downriver communities, clients work with the same VanStone team throughout their case.

We Prepare for the Questions Insurers Ask

An insurer may challenge how an accident happened, whether an injury was caused by it, or whether certain treatment was necessary. We identify those issues early and build the evidence needed to answer them.

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

We don’t wait until settlement talks to find out where a case stands. By that point, we’ve developed the evidence, worked through the insurance issues, and know what we’re prepared to support if the case moves forward.

Car Accidents & Michigan No-Fault Claims

Car and truck crashes are a major part of our personal injury practice. These cases can involve hit-and-run drivers, disputed fault, pre-existing injuries, commercial vehicles, and uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.

Michigan No-Fault can add another layer, including claims for medical expenses, wage loss, replacement services, attendant care, and other PIP benefits.

VanStone also represents Michigan medical providers in No-Fault disputes. That experience with treatment denials, billing disputes, and fee-schedule issues helps us handle the injury claim and No-Fault issues from the same accident.

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.

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.

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.

Personal Injury Cases Across Wayne County

Our team handles injury cases throughout Wayne County, from Detroit and the western suburbs to Downriver communities. That includes crashes on major routes like I-94, I-75, and Telegraph Road, along with injuries that happen at businesses, homes, and other properties across the county.

For accident cases, we move quickly to preserve evidence that may be harder to recover later, such as scene photos, witness accounts, and vehicle evidence. We also review the medical records and insurance coverage to understand the injuries and any issues that could affect the claim.

When a case moves into litigation, Wayne County’s Third Judicial Circuit handles civil matters that include auto negligence and other personal injury claims. We develop the file with that possibility in mind from the beginning, so we’re prepared if the claim can’t be resolved with the insurance company.
