Personal Injury Representation for Lansing and Mid-Michigan
As Michigan's capital city, Lansing sits at the geographic and political center of the state. With Michigan State University, major state government employment, and a growing tech sector, Lansing and Ingham County have a population that reflects every kind of personal injury risk — from high-speed highway crashes to campus pedestrian accidents to government building slip and falls. Koussan Law serves Lansing, East Lansing, Mason, and all of Ingham County.
Michigan State University Campus Injuries
Michigan State University's sprawling campus in East Lansing is one of the largest in the country, with over 50,000 students navigating a mix of pedestrian paths, bicycle lanes, and vehicle roadways daily. Pedestrian and bicycle accidents near campus are common, particularly along Grand River Avenue, Michigan Avenue, and the Trowbridge Road corridor. Koussan Law handles campus-area injury claims with specific attention to the unique liability issues that arise when university property, city roads, and private businesses all converge in the same area.
I-96 and I-496 Highway Accidents
Lansing's highway system — including I-96, I-496, and US-127 — connects the capital to Detroit, Grand Rapids, and northern Michigan. The I-96/I-496/US-127 interchange in downtown Lansing is a high-traffic bottleneck that produces serious accidents, particularly during morning and evening commutes and during legislative sessions when government worker traffic peaks. Commercial truck traffic on I-96 heading toward Detroit adds heavy vehicle exposure to an already congested corridor.
Government and Public Property Claims
With the Michigan State Capitol, dozens of state office buildings, and extensive public infrastructure, Lansing presents unique premises liability opportunities involving government property. Slip and falls on government property, injuries in state buildings, and accidents caused by poorly maintained public roads may involve governmental defendants — which triggers Michigan's Governmental Immunity Act requirements including the 120-day notice period. Koussan Law ensures these strict notice deadlines are met for every Lansing-area government liability claim.
Medical Malpractice at Sparrow Hospital and McLaren
Lansing's major hospitals — Sparrow Hospital and McLaren Greater Lansing — serve the medical needs of the entire mid-Michigan region. Malpractice claims against these institutions require the same compliance with Michigan's Notice of Intent and Affidavit of Merit procedures as any Michigan provider. Given the 182-day NOI waiting period and the 2-year statute of limitations, early legal engagement is essential for any Lansing medical malpractice case.
