Personal Injury Representation for Southfield and Oakland County
Southfield and the surrounding Oakland County communities — including Troy, Royal Oak, Farmington Hills, Pontiac, and Bloomfield Hills — are home to hundreds of thousands of Michigan residents. Koussan Law serves Oakland County injury victims with the same aggressive advocacy that produced our $14,950,000 jury verdict at Pontiac General Hospital.
Oakland County Circuit Court
Personal injury cases in Oakland County are filed in the Oakland County Circuit Court in Pontiac. Oakland County tends to have different jury demographics and judicial philosophies than Wayne County, which affects case strategy. Koussan Law attorneys are experienced in both jurisdictions and tailor our approach accordingly. Our landmark $14.95 million verdict was won in an Oakland County case.
Highway Accidents on I-696, M-10, and Telegraph
Oakland County's highway system — including I-696, the Lodge Freeway (M-10), Telegraph Road, and Woodward Avenue — handles enormous traffic volumes. The I-696/Southfield Freeway interchange is one of the most congested and accident-prone areas in Southeast Michigan. High-speed highway collisions frequently result in catastrophic injuries including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and fatalities. Koussan Law handles the full spectrum of highway accident claims.
Medical Malpractice in Oakland County
Oakland County is home to major hospital systems including Beaumont Health, Henry Ford Health, and Ascension Providence. Medical malpractice claims in Oakland County require compliance with Michigan's Notice of Intent requirements under MCL § 600.2912b and Affidavit of Merit under MCL § 600.2912d. These procedural requirements are unforgiving — missing a deadline or filing a deficient notice can destroy an otherwise strong case. Koussan Law handles these requirements meticulously.
Commercial Property Injuries
Southfield's dense concentration of office buildings, shopping centers, and commercial properties creates significant premises liability exposure. Falls in parking structures, injuries from negligent property maintenance, and security negligence claims are common. Michigan's premises liability framework requires proving the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition — a standard Koussan Law meets through aggressive investigation and evidence preservation.
