Personal Injury Representation for Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County
Ann Arbor — home to the University of Michigan and a thriving community of over 120,000 residents — presents unique personal injury challenges. From student bicycle accidents and pedestrian injuries near campus to high-speed collisions on US-23 and I-94, Koussan Law serves Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County injury victims with experienced representation.
University of Michigan Area Accidents
The dense pedestrian and bicycle traffic around U-M's campus creates constant collision risk. Students, faculty, and visitors navigate busy intersections on State Street, South University, and Washtenaw Avenue alongside heavy vehicle traffic. Bicycle accidents, pedestrian knockdowns, and scooter collisions in the campus area often result in serious injuries including traumatic brain injuries, fractures, and spinal injuries. Michigan's comparative fault rules under MCL § 600.2959 apply even when the injured person is a pedestrian or cyclist.
I-94 and US-23 Highway Accidents
The I-94 and US-23 corridors running through Washtenaw County handle enormous traffic volumes, especially during University of Michigan events. High-speed collisions on these highways frequently produce catastrophic injuries. Multi-vehicle pileups, commercial truck crashes, and wrong-way driver incidents require immediate investigation and evidence preservation. Koussan Law works with accident reconstruction experts to establish liability in complex highway crash cases.
Medical Malpractice at Michigan Medicine
The University of Michigan Health System (Michigan Medicine) is one of the largest academic medical centers in the country. While it provides excellent care, the complexity and volume of procedures create opportunities for medical errors. Malpractice claims against Michigan Medicine require navigating both the state Notice of Intent process under MCL § 600.2912b and the university's governmental immunity protections under MCL § 691.1407. These cases are exceptionally complex and demand attorneys with specific experience.
Premises Liability in Commercial Districts
Ann Arbor's commercial districts — including downtown, Briarwood Mall, and the Arborland area — see frequent premises liability incidents. Winter ice and snow conditions create hazardous walking surfaces, and property owners are responsible for maintaining safe conditions. Koussan Law's $6,000,000 slip and fall settlement demonstrates our ability to hold negligent property owners accountable.
