Car accident lawyer for Rochester Hills, MI

What to do first after a Rochester Hills crash

Michigan's no-fault system pays your medical bills and lost wages first through your own policy, and the application must be filed within one year, so see a doctor promptly and keep everything. Get the report number from the Oakland County sheriff, who patrols Rochester Hills, or the State Police. Photograph the vehicles, the road, snow or ice and any signals. Collect witness details. Note whether the other driver was in a company vehicle. Keep a log of missed work and household tasks you cannot do. A statement to the other driver's side can wait until you have spoken with an attorney.

Crash situations common in Rochester Hills

M-59 crosses the southern part of Rochester Hills as a freeway connecting Pontiac to the eastern suburbs, with heavy merging at the Rochester Road, Adams Road and Crooks Road interchanges and I-75 just to the west. Rochester Road, M-150, runs north through the city as its main commercial corridor, with constant turning traffic and frequent rear-end crashes. Walton Boulevard, Avon Road and Tienken Road carry traffic to Oakland University, schools and the automotive offices. Hilly terrain and curves along the Clinton River become hazardous in snow and ice, deer are common near the parks and trails, and university traffic surges at class changes and events.

What the free case review covers

Call (470) 600-0106 at any time; a person answers in English, Spanish or Arabic, serving a county with large Arabic-speaking communities. Our free consultation walks through the crash location, the report, your injuries and your medical care. Michigan's no-fault threshold for suing the other driver means the seriousness of your injuries matters, as does whether your own benefits application is in. Your work, income and daily limitations are discussed too. We then outline the usual course of an Oakland County case, with no signature and no payment asked of you.

Connecting you with a Michigan-licensed attorney

Car Accident Lawyers Agency opens the door; the attorney does the work. We connect Rochester Hills residents and students with an independent car accident attorney licensed in Michigan who handles both the first-party no-fault claim and, when injuries meet the serious impairment threshold, the claim against the other driver. If you prefer Arabic or Spanish, we find a personal injury attorney whose office works in that language and who handles northern Oakland County cases. We also say plainly when a case is not one to pursue, for example when injuries do not meet the threshold, and we explain why.

After a Michigan attorney steps in

Your personal injury lawyer makes sure your no-fault application is filed on time and monitors that medical bills, wage loss and replacement services are paid. They notify the other side that you are represented and gather the police report, medical records and any video from businesses on Rochester Road or traffic cameras. If your injuries meet Michigan's threshold, they build the claim against the other driver, documenting how the crash occurred and how your life has changed, then prepare a demand and negotiate. Many Rochester Hills cases resolve by agreement; others are filed in Oakland County Circuit Court. You decide on any offer.
