How to choose a personal injury attorney in Brighton

Most personal injury firms work on contingency. The fee is a share of what you recover, and you pay no attorney fee if there is no recovery. In Michigan, court rule 8.121 limits that share to one third of the net amount in most personal injury cases. Ask for the fee agreement in writing before you sign anything.

Ask who will do the work. In a busy firm a case manager often handles calls, records and deadlines, and an attorney steps in for negotiation and court. Both models can work. You should know which one you are buying.

Michigan auto injury claims follow the no-fault law, which changed in 2019 and 2020. A claim for medical bills and lost wages (PIP) is separate from a claim against the at-fault driver. Ask the firm which parts of your case it handles.

Deadlines matter. Some claims must be filed within one year, and many within three. Call early and keep every bill, report and photo.

Every Michigan attorney is a member of the State Bar of Michigan. You can look up a name, a law school and any public discipline in the State Bar member directory.
