Why Choose Koussan Law in City Name?
Royal Oak Personal Injury Lawyer — Fighting for the Compensation You Deserve
Royal Oak is one of the most vibrant cities in Oakland County, known for its walkable downtown, thriving restaurant scene along Main Street, and a community that takes pride in its neighborhoods. But the same features that make Royal Oak attractive — heavy foot traffic, busy commercial corridors, and dense residential streets — also create conditions where serious accidents happen every day. If you or a loved one has been injured due to someone else’s negligence in Royal Oak, Koussan Law is ready to fight for the full compensation you deserve.
Dangerous Roads and Intersections in Royal Oak
Royal Oak sits at the crossroads of several high-traffic corridors that see frequent collisions. Woodward Avenue — Michigan’s most iconic road — runs directly through the city, carrying tens of thousands of vehicles daily between Detroit and Pontiac. The stretch of Woodward between 11 Mile Road and 13 Mile Road is particularly dangerous, with a mix of commuter traffic, pedestrians crossing to reach downtown businesses, and vehicles entering from side streets and parking lots.
The intersection of Woodward Avenue and 12 Mile Road is one of the busiest in all of Oakland County, and rear-end collisions during rush hour are common. Similarly, the junction of Main Street and 11 Mile Road sees frequent accidents as drivers navigate between the I-696 on-ramp and downtown Royal Oak’s congested streets.
Interstate 696 borders Royal Oak to the south and is a major source of serious car accidents. Merge points near the Woodward Avenue and Campbell Road interchanges regularly produce high-speed collisions. Crooks Road, Rochester Road, and the commercial stretch of 14 Mile Road along the northern border also generate a steady stream of accidents.
Common Accident Types in Royal Oak
- Pedestrian accidents downtown: Royal Oak’s walkable downtown draws thousands of visitors on weekends and evenings. Drivers distracted by passengers, navigation apps, or the search for parking strike pedestrians in crosswalks along Main Street, Washington Avenue, and Fourth Street with alarming regularity.
- Rear-end collisions on Woodward: Stop-and-go traffic on Woodward Avenue leads to frequent rear-end crashes that cause whiplash, herniated discs, and traumatic brain injuries.
- Bicycle accidents: Royal Oak’s bike lanes attract cyclists, but drivers frequently fail to check blind spots or open car doors into bike lanes — causing catastrophic injuries.
- Slip-and-fall injuries: Commercial properties along Main Street and the Royal Oak Farmers Market area have a duty to maintain safe conditions. Icy sidewalks, wet floors, and uneven pavement lead to serious slip-and-fall injuries.
- Trucking accidents on I-696: Semi-trucks traveling the I-696 corridor cause devastating crashes. These trucking accident cases often involve multiple liable parties.

Michigan Personal Injury Law — What Royal Oak Residents Need to Know
Michigan law gives you three years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. If your injury stems from a car accident, Michigan’s no-fault auto insurance system adds complexity. Under no-fault, your own insurance company pays for medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault. However, you can pursue a claim against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering if your injuries meet Michigan’s serious impairment threshold. Michigan also follows modified comparative negligence — if you are more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover non-economic damages.
