Why Choose Koussan Law in City Name?
Lansing Personal Injury Lawyer — Holding Negligent Parties Accountable in Michigan’s Capital
As Michigan’s state capital and home to Michigan State University, Lansing is where government workers, college students, and longtime residents share the same roads. That mix — combined with a road network funneling commuter traffic through the heart of the city — produces steady preventable accidents.
Our Detroit office serves Lansing and all of Ingham County, approximately 90 minutes east via I-96. We bring the full weight of our litigation experience — including a $14.95 million verdict — and we never charge a fee unless we recover money for you.
Dangerous Roads and Intersections in the Lansing Area
I-496 cuts through the center of the city with deceptively sharp curves near the US-127 interchange. US-127 handles heavy commuter traffic with frequent crashes near Lake Lansing Road. Michigan Avenue from Capitol Avenue through the Frandor shopping area is one of the most crash-prone corridors in the region. Cedar Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard have histories of pedestrian-involved crashes. Grand River Avenue heading west toward Delta Township sees frequent rear-end collisions.
Accident Types Common to the Lansing Area
- Commuter highway crashes on I-496, US-127, and I-96 — State workers and manufacturing staff flood these routes twice daily. Our car accident lawyers handle everything from minor collisions to catastrophic pileups.
- Truck accidents — I-96 is a major freight corridor and US-127 links to I-75’s trucking routes. Commercial vehicle accidents frequently involve serious and fatal injuries.
- Pedestrian and bicycle crashes near MSU — Grand River Avenue and Michigan Avenue corridors see intense pedestrian and cyclist activity during the academic year.
- Government building slip and falls — The Capitol Complex creates premises liability situations — and claims against government entities require strict compliance with notice requirements.
- Rideshare and delivery accidents — College population drives heavy rideshare usage, adding unpredictable stops to busy streets.
Ingham County Court System
Cases are filed in the Thirtieth Judicial Circuit Court of Ingham County. The standard three-year statute of limitations applies. However, many potential defendants in Lansing are government entities requiring a notice of intent to file well before the lawsuit deadline. Missing this notice window can permanently bar your claim.
No-Fault Auto Insurance in Michigan
Michigan’s no-fault auto insurance law means your own insurer pays for medical treatment and lost wages regardless of fault. To recover pain and suffering damages, your injuries must meet the serious impairment of body function threshold. Koussan Law’s attorneys work with medical providers to document injuries to satisfy this standard.
