Why Choose Koussan Law in City Name?
Farmington Hills Personal Injury Lawyer — Protecting Your Rights After a Serious Injury
Farmington Hills is one of Oakland County’s largest and most established suburbs, home to more than 80,000 residents, major corporate campuses, and a sprawling network of roads. The city’s size and layout — spread across 33 square miles with subdivisions, commercial plazas, and office parks — mean residents spend significant time behind the wheel. That driving exposure, combined with hazardous road designs, makes Farmington Hills a frequent site of serious motor vehicle accidents, pedestrian injuries, and premises liability incidents.
Dangerous Roads and Accident-Prone Areas in Farmington Hills
The most dangerous road in Farmington Hills is Orchard Lake Road, a north-south corridor that cuts through the heart of the city. Between 10 Mile Road and 14 Mile Road, Orchard Lake Road is lined with shopping centers and medical offices. Left-turn accidents at the Orchard Lake Road and 12 Mile Road intersection are especially common.
Grand River Avenue (M-5) runs diagonally through Farmington Hills and creates unusually angled intersections. The intersection of Grand River Avenue and Drake Road is one of the most collision-prone in the city, with poor sight lines and an awkward traffic signal pattern.
Northwestern Highway (US-10/M-10) and the Haggerty Road corridor handle heavy commuter traffic. The Northwestern Highway interchange at Middlebelt Road is a particularly dangerous merge zone. Rear-end collisions and sideswipe accidents at this interchange are a near-daily occurrence.
Middlebelt Road from 8 Mile Road north to 14 Mile Road is another high-risk corridor. I-696 runs along the southern edge and the interchange with Orchard Lake Road is a high-accident zone for trucking accidents.
Injury Types Our Firm Handles for Farmington Hills Clients
- Multi-vehicle freeway crashes: I-696 and Northwestern Highway produce chain-reaction collisions with traumatic brain injuries and spinal damage.
- Parking lot accidents at retail centers: Shopping plazas near Orchard Lake Road where low-speed collisions cause serious soft tissue injuries.
- Slip-and-fall injuries on commercial properties: Corporate campuses and office buildings have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. Slip-and-fall accidents caused by icy parking lots and wet lobby floors result in broken hips, wrist fractures, and head injuries.
- Bicycle and pedestrian accidents: Heritage Park trails and school zones bring cyclists and pedestrians into proximity with vehicle traffic.
- Dog bite injuries: Michigan imposes strict liability on dog owners, meaning the owner is responsible even if the dog has never bitten anyone before.

Michigan Injury Law Essentials
Michigan’s three-year statute of limitations applies to personal injury claims. For auto accidents, Michigan’s no-fault system covers your medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault. To claim pain and suffering damages, you must prove serious impairment of body function. Michigan follows modified comparative negligence — if you’re more than 50% at fault, you recover nothing.
