Life altering events require expert representation.
Car, truck and motorcycle accidents are one of the leading causes of death and serious injury in the State of Michigan. Most people are more afraid of flying on a commercial jet than they are driving their car to work in the morning. However, the chances of being injured in a plane crash are remote but being injured in an auto accident is all too common.
Michigan has a complex body of civil law that governs the rights of Michigan drivers of cars, trucks or bicycles who are injured or killed in an automobile accident. With few exceptions, legal actions to recovery monetary damages for injuries sustained in an auto accident are brought in the Michigan trial court in the county where the accident took place. This means that most car and truck accident law suits are determined by local judges and juries in Michigan circuit courts.
The legal market place for personal injury attorneys is dominated by large Detroit law firms who have millions of dollars to spend on billboards and television commercials. Unfortunately, while these large personal injury firms have big advertising budgets they often aren’t the best choice for legal representation. Because these lawsuits are all adjudicated in local trial courts, most individuals are better represented by an experienced local trial attorney.
Local personal injury and auto accident attorneys like Philip C. Curtis have the local knowledges of judges and juries necessary to obtain the best result for their client’s in their backyard.
