Personal Injury Representation for Grand Rapids and West Michigan
Grand Rapids is Michigan's second-largest city and the economic hub of West Michigan. With a population approaching 200,000 in the city proper and over 1 million in the metro area, the volume of personal injury cases in Kent County and surrounding West Michigan communities is substantial. Koussan Law serves Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Muskegon, Holland, and all of West Michigan with the same aggressive representation that has produced multi-million dollar results in Southeast Michigan.
US-131 and I-196 Highway Accidents
West Michigan's highway corridors — including US-131, I-196, I-96, and M-6 (Paul B. Henry Freeway) — carry heavy traffic volumes through the Grand Rapids metro area. The US-131/I-96 interchange is one of the most congested and accident-prone intersections in West Michigan. The I-196 corridor connecting Grand Rapids to Holland and the lakeshore communities sees seasonal traffic surges that increase crash risk significantly during summer months. Koussan Law handles high-speed highway accident claims throughout the US-131 and I-196 corridors.
Kent County Circuit Court
Personal injury lawsuits in the Grand Rapids area are filed in Kent County Circuit Court. Kent County has a distinct judicial environment compared to Wayne and Oakland Counties in Southeast Michigan, with different judge preferences, jury demographics, and case management timelines. Koussan Law adapts our litigation strategy to the specific characteristics of each court. Our willingness to try cases in any Michigan court — demonstrated by our $14.95 million jury verdict — gives us credibility regardless of jurisdiction.
Medical Malpractice in West Michigan
Grand Rapids is home to major hospital systems including Spectrum Health (now Corewell Health), Mercy Health, and Metro Health. The concentration of medical providers creates both excellent healthcare access and medical malpractice exposure. Claims against West Michigan hospitals and providers require the same Notice of Intent and Affidavit of Merit procedures required statewide under MCL §§ 600.2912b and 600.2912d. Koussan Law has the medical expert network and procedural expertise to handle malpractice claims in West Michigan.
Manufacturing and Workplace Injuries
West Michigan's manufacturing sector — including furniture, automotive parts, food processing, and aerospace — produces a significant volume of workplace injuries. Workers injured by defective machinery, unsafe conditions, or third-party negligence on job sites may have personal injury claims beyond workers' compensation. Koussan Law evaluates every West Michigan workplace injury for third-party liability to ensure maximum recovery.
