Why Your Detroit Car Accident Case Needs a Detroit Attorney
After a car accident in Detroit, you need an attorney who knows this city — the roads, the courts, the judges, the insurance companies, and the specific challenges Detroit accident victims face. Koussan Law is headquartered in downtown Detroit at 821 W Milwaukee Ave and has represented accident victims across the metro area for years.
Detroit's Most Dangerous Roads
Detroit consistently ranks among the most dangerous cities for drivers in the United States. The intersections along Michigan Ave, Gratiot Ave, Telegraph Road, and the I-94/I-75/I-96 interchange complex see a disproportionate number of serious and fatal accidents. Pothole damage on city streets causes thousands of accidents and vehicle damage claims annually. Our attorneys know these roads, the common accident patterns, and the government entities responsible for maintenance.
Wayne County Circuit Court Experience
Personal injury lawsuits in Detroit are filed in Wayne County Circuit Court — one of the busiest courts in Michigan. Knowing which judges are favorable to plaintiffs, which courtrooms move faster, and how to navigate the Wayne County court system gives our clients a tangible advantage. Koussan Law attorneys appear in Wayne County courts regularly and have built relationships and reputations that benefit our clients.
Dealing with Michigan Insurers
Detroit has some of the highest auto insurance rates in the country. Many Detroit drivers carry minimum coverage or are uninsured. This creates complex insurance situations after an accident. Under Michigan's no-fault system (MCL § 500.3101 et seq.), your PIP benefits come from your own policy — but the priority rules and coverage elections matter enormously. Koussan Law navigates these complexities daily for Detroit clients.
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Claims
A significant percentage of Detroit drivers are uninsured. If you are hit by an uninsured driver, your recovery options depend on whether you purchased UM/UIM coverage. Michigan law under MCL § 500.3163 allows you to add uninsured motorist coverage to your policy. Without it, your options are limited to PIP benefits and a direct lawsuit against the uninsured driver — who may have no assets to collect. Koussan Law explores every avenue of recovery.
