Why Choose Koussan Law in City Name?
Sterling Heights Personal Injury Lawyer — Experienced Advocacy for Accident Victims
Sterling Heights is Macomb County’s largest city and one of the most populated in all of Michigan, with more than 134,000 residents. The city’s rapid growth has outpaced road infrastructure improvements, creating conditions where accidents are frequent and often severe.
Hazardous Roads and Intersections
Van Dyke Avenue (M-53) runs through the western portion of the city and is one of the most accident-prone roads in Macomb County. Between 15 Mile Road and Hall Road (M-59), Van Dyke is flanked by big-box retailers and auto dealerships generating turning traffic that conflicts with 45+ mph through-traffic.
Hall Road (M-59) along Sterling Heights’ northern border is widely regarded as one of the most dangerous roads in Metro Detroit. The segment near Lakeside Mall — between Hayes Road and Schoenherr Road — combines extremely high traffic volumes with aggressive driving. Multi-vehicle accidents on Hall Road often involve SUVs and trucks at highway speeds.
Mound Road carries heavy commuter and industrial traffic connecting to the Stellantis Sterling Heights Assembly Plant. Shift changes create sudden traffic surges. Dequindre Road, Rochester Road, and Ryan Road are additional high-accident corridors. The M-59 and M-53 interchange is one of the highest-accident zones in Macomb County, with frequent semi-truck accidents.
Types of Accidents Affecting Sterling Heights Residents
- High-speed crashes on Hall Road and Van Dyke: Victims frequently suffer traumatic brain injuries, multiple fractures, and spinal cord damage.
- Accidents near Stellantis Assembly Plant: Fatigued workers and commercial trucks hauling materials contribute to concentrated accident patterns.
- Lakeside Mall area accidents: Pedestrians navigating massive parking lots face risks. Slip-and-fall injuries in and around the mall are common in winter.
- Intersection collisions: Red-light running and failure to yield cause serious broadside collisions at intersections throughout the city.
- Wrongful death: The speed and volume of traffic means many accidents result in fatal injuries. Wrongful death claims hold negligent parties accountable.
Macomb County Circuit Court
Personal injury lawsuits are filed in the Sixteenth Judicial Circuit Court (Macomb County Circuit Court) in Mount Clemens. Koussan Law prepares every Sterling Heights case with trial-level rigor.
Michigan Injury Law
The statute of limitations is three years. Michigan’s no-fault auto insurance law requires your own insurer to cover medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault. To recover pain and suffering damages, you must prove serious impairment of body function. Michigan follows modified comparative negligence — more than 50% at fault means no recovery.
