Why Choose Koussan Law in City Name?
West Bloomfield Personal Injury Attorney: Oakland County's Lakes Communities
West Bloomfield is a large, affluent township built around its lakes and residential neighborhoods, served by busy arterials that connect it to the rest of Oakland County. Its mix of high-volume commuter roads, residential streets, and seasonal recreation traffic produces a steady stream of serious crashes and premises incidents. Koussan Law represents West Bloomfield residents and anyone injured within township limits on a contingency fee basis, so you pay nothing unless we recover.
This page covers West Bloomfield's dangerous corridors, the case types we handle, Michigan injury law as it applies to Oakland County, the Sixth Circuit Court, and the deadlines that govern these cases.
West Bloomfield's Dangerous Roads and Intersections
- Orchard Lake Road. The township's primary commercial spine, with heavy retail turning traffic and frequent intersection and rear-end collisions.
- Maple Road and Walnut Lake Road. East-west arterials with high-speed signalized intersections.
- Pontiac Trail and Commerce Road. Connector routes carrying commuter and recreation traffic, including around the lakes.
- Middlebelt Road and Drake Road. North-south corridors with school, residential, and commercial conflict points.
Koussan Law investigates with available camera footage, EDR downloads, scene photographs, witness statements, UD-10 crash reports, and 911 audio. See how we handle car accident cases, truck accident cases, and motorcycle accident cases.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle for West Bloomfield Clients
- Arterial and intersection collisions. No-Fault PIP under MCL § 500.3107 covers medical and wage loss regardless of fault; a third-party tort claim for pain and suffering requires meeting the serious-impairment threshold under MCL § 500.3135 (the McCormick v. Carrier, 487 Mich. 180 (2010) framework controls).
- Premises liability. Retail centers and residential associations owe a duty to maintain safe conditions. Post-Kandil-Elsayed v. F&E Oil, Inc., 504 Mich. 132 (2023), the old "open and obvious" defense no longer automatically bars slip-and-fall claims.
- Rideshare accidents. Coverage turns on the driver's app status at impact. See our Detroit Uber and Lyft accident lawyer guide.
- Pedestrian and bicycle injuries. Pedestrians struck by motor vehicles carry full No-Fault PIP under MCL § 500.3115. See our Detroit pedestrian accident lawyer guide.
- Dog bites. Michigan's strict-liability statute, MCL § 287.351, makes owners liable even for a first bite. See our Detroit dog bite lawyer guide.
- Nursing home abuse. See our Detroit nursing home abuse lawyer guide.
- Wrongful death. The personal-representative framework under MCL § 600.2922 controls. See our Detroit wrongful death lawyer guide.
Oakland County Court System for West Bloomfield Cases
Lawsuits arising in West Bloomfield are filed in the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court (Oakland County Circuit Court), 1200 N Telegraph Road, Pontiac. For government defendants (West Bloomfield Township, Oakland County, or MDOT), MCL § 691.1404 requires written notice within 120 days of the incident.
Michigan No-Fault and Key Deadlines
Every Michigan driver selects a PIP tier. PIP pays medical bills, 85% of lost wages for up to three years, replacement services, and attendant care under MCL § 500.3107 regardless of fault; pain-and-suffering requires a third-party tort claim under MCL § 500.3135. Andary v. USAA, 512 Mich. 207 (2023) held the 2019 reforms are not retroactive. Deadlines: 3 years for personal injury (MCL § 600.5805), 2 years for medical malpractice (plus the 182-day Notice of Intent), 1 year for PIP benefits (MCL § 500.3145), and 120 days for government notice.
