Areas We Serve
Detroit Personal Injury Lawyer
Car-accident, no-fault, and serious-injury representation for metro Detroit and Wayne County, handled from our office in Okemos.
Detroit's roads carry some of Michigan's heaviest traffic — I-75, I-94, I-96, the Lodge (M-10), and I-696 — and the crashes that follow can mean catastrophic injuries and hard fights with insurers. Baldori Law represents injured people across metro Detroit from our office in Okemos, and we travel to Wayne County when a case calls for it.
Michigan's no-fault system works the same statewide, but the medicine and the litigation in Detroit have their own texture: Level I trauma centers like Detroit Receiving Hospital and Henry Ford Hospital, and one of the busiest civil dockets in the state. Your PIP benefits should pay medical bills and wage loss regardless of fault, and a third-party claim can follow for pain and suffering when someone else caused the crash.
We are not a downtown-Detroit firm — our principal office is in Okemos — but distance rarely is the obstacle people expect. Most injury work is handled by phone, email, and video, and we appear in Wayne County court when your case requires it.
The Courts That Serve Detroit
3rd Judicial Circuit Court (Wayne County)
Wayne County's trial court, in the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center in downtown Detroit, is where most Detroit personal-injury lawsuits seeking more than $25,000 are filed and tried. Its civil docket is among the busiest in Michigan.
Metro Detroit also reaches into Oakland and Macomb counties; injury suits arising there are filed in those counties' circuit courts, and we handle claims across all three.
How We Help in Detroit
Detroit Questions, Answered
Do I have to come to Okemos if I was hurt in Detroit?
No. Personal-injury cases are handled largely by phone, email, and video, and we come to you or to Wayne County for the steps that require it — depositions, hearings, and trial. Our office is in Okemos, near Lansing.
Where would my Detroit injury lawsuit be filed?
Claims seeking more than $25,000 are filed in the 3rd Judicial Circuit Court for Wayne County in downtown Detroit. Smaller claims go to the district court for the community where the crash happened, and cases arising in Oakland or Macomb county are filed in those counties' circuit courts.
Does Michigan no-fault still apply to a Detroit crash?
Yes. Michigan's no-fault law is statewide, so your own PIP coverage pays medical bills and wage loss regardless of who caused the crash, and you can bring a separate third-party claim for pain and suffering when a serious injury meets the legal threshold.
