Why Choose Koussan Law in City Name?
Troy Personal Injury Attorney — Protecting Oakland County’s Business Hub
Troy is Oakland County’s economic engine — a city of corporate headquarters, technology firms, and one of Michigan’s premier shopping destinations. Companies like Altair Engineering, Meritor, and Kelly Services call Troy home, while Somerset Collection draws shoppers from across the Midwest. With that economic activity comes traffic — lots of it — and the accidents, injuries, and legal disputes that follow.
Koussan Law provides aggressive personal injury representation for Troy residents and anyone injured within city limits. Our Detroit office is just 25 minutes south on I-75, and we take every case on a contingency fee basis — no fee unless we win your case.
Troy’s High-Traffic Danger Zones
Troy sits at the intersection of two major freeways — I-75 and I-696 — and its surface streets carry heavy commuter and commercial traffic throughout the day:
- Big Beaver Road (16 Mile) and Somerset Collection area — The stretch of Big Beaver between Coolidge Highway and I-75 is one of the most congested corridors in Oakland County. Somerset Collection generates enormous traffic volume, and the combination of shopping traffic, office commuters, and restaurant patrons creates constant conflict.
- Rochester Road and Long Lake Road — A wide, fast-moving intersection in Troy’s eastern commercial zone where speed-related crashes are disturbingly common.
- I-75 through Troy — The segment of I-75 between I-696 and M-59 runs directly through Troy and carries some of the heaviest traffic volume in the state. Multi-vehicle pileups, especially during winter weather, are a recurring problem.
- Maple Road (15 Mile) and Crooks Road — Near Troy’s tech and office corridor, rush-hour congestion leads to rear-end collisions and frustration-driven aggressive driving.
- I-696 and Rochester Road interchange — This interchange handles traffic between two major corridors and is a known bottleneck where distracted merging causes chain-reaction crashes.
- Livernois Road and Big Beaver Road — Heavy commercial traffic from nearby office parks meets residential traffic in a poorly designed intersection.
Whether your accident occurred on I-75 during rush hour or in a parking structure near Somerset, Koussan Law has the resources to investigate your case thoroughly. Read about our approach to car accident claims and trucking accident cases.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle for Troy Clients
Troy’s character as a corporate and commercial center creates injury patterns distinct from other Metro Detroit communities:
- High-speed freeway accidents — With I-75 and I-696 crossing within city limits, Troy sees some of the most severe freeway accidents in Oakland County. These collisions often result in traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and fatalities.
- Commercial vehicle and delivery truck accidents — Troy’s office parks and corporate campuses receive constant deliveries. Box trucks, courier vans, and semi-trailers navigate surface streets not designed for heavy commercial use.
- Premises liability at commercial properties — Troy’s upscale retail environment — Somerset Collection, the Troy Motor Mall, and hundreds of restaurants and office buildings — means property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. Wet floors, icy sidewalks, poor lighting in parking garages, and defective escalators all give rise to slip and fall claims.
- Rideshare accidents — Troy’s business traveler population relies heavily on Uber and Lyft. Rideshare accidents involve complex insurance coverage questions that our attorneys know how to navigate.
- Pedestrian and cyclist injuries — Despite Troy’s suburban layout, pedestrian traffic is significant near Somerset Collection, downtown Troy, and along the Clinton River Trail.
Michigan Personal Injury Law — What Troy Residents Should Know
Three-year statute of limitations: Michigan gives injured parties three years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. For Troy’s busy professionals, it can be tempting to focus on work and delay legal action — but missing the deadline means forfeiting your right to compensation permanently.
No-fault auto insurance: Michigan’s no-fault system requires your own insurer to cover medical bills and lost wages after a car accident. To bring a claim against the at-fault driver for non-economic damages, your injury must constitute a serious impairment of body function. Insurance companies fight this threshold aggressively — particularly in Troy, where policy limits tend to be higher.
Modified comparative negligence: Michigan applies comparative fault, meaning your recovery is reduced by your percentage of responsibility. If you are more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover non-economic damages.
Oakland County Circuit Court
Personal injury cases arising in Troy are filed in the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court (Oakland County Circuit Court) in Pontiac. Oakland County’s court system handles a high volume of civil litigation, and its judges expect thorough preparation. Koussan Law brings that preparation to every case.
