Listening to You
When you’ve been hurt in an accident that was caused by someone else, you need a personal injury attorney who listens to your concerns and provides you with the information you need. It’s important to us that you feel comfortable with the process of seeking the financial compensation you are entitled to. We make it a point to form a personal connection with each of our clients so that we know how to serve you best. When you work with a Detroit personal injury lawyer from our firm, you’ll get real, honest information as it pertains to your unique situation. There won’t be any empty promises or technical jargon. Just straight answers that you can use to make an informed decision about what to do next.
Protecting Your Rights
Dealing with the aftermath of a serious accident can be one of the most confusing, traumatizing periods of your life. To make matters worse, the insurance company or the attorneys representing the at-fault party will do everything they can to take advantage of you and leave you undercompensated. You can relax. Christensen Law will deal with these entities on your behalf and make certain that your rights are protected. Whether that means negotiating a settlement or representing you in court, we won’t let anyone treat you with anything less than respect in your personal injury claim.

Our Michigan personal injury law firm gets results for our clients. We have helped car accident victims from all across Michigan obtain full settlements to cover their damages and losses. Every personal injury attorney in our office knows how to efficiently investigate an accident scene and build a powerful case to support your need for compensation. We will work closely with you and your doctor to account for all of your losses and future accident-related needs. We will aggressively pursue a full personal injury settlement for you, and we’ll take your case to trial if necessary. Firm founder David Christensen has achieved the highest possible honors for a trial lawyer, and no auto accident law firm has a better record at trial.

Personal Injury FAQs
How Long Will My Personal Injury Case Take?
How long it takes to resolve your personal injury claim will depend on multiple factors. Those factors include the severity of your injuries, the amount of damages you suffered, and whether liability for the accident has been contested by the parties. Where liability isn’t questioned and your damages can be easily fixed, your claim may take a few months. If the other side contests liability or damages, it can take longer to settle your claim. It may become necessary to take your claim to court, where it can take as long as one to two years for a court trial.
Can I Still Recover Compensation If I Am Partially to Blame for My Accident and Injuries?
Yes. Michigan follows a modified comparative fault rule, which states than an injury victim may recover compensation even if they are partially at fault for the accident and their injuries. However, a claim is barred if the victim is more than 50 percent responsible for the accident. An injury victim who is less than 50 percent responsible for the accident but is still partially at fault will have the recovery reduced by the percentage of their fault. If you are more than 50% at fault then you cannot recover any damages for pain and suffering, but you may still recover economic damages like lost wages or medical expenses. But they will be reduced by the percentage of your fault for the accident.
Do I Need an Attorney If I Want to Settle My Personal Injury Claim With the Insurance Company?
You may want to quickly settle your personal injury case and move on with your life. However, before doing so, we would advise you to speak with our experienced personal injury attorneys. Our attorneys can review your settlement offer and explore whether it represents full and fair compensation for your injuries. Our attorneys can also negotiate with the insurance company and potentially secure a full and fair settlement.
Do I Have to Go to Court for a Personal Injury in Michigan?
It’s highly unlikely you will need to go to court for your Michigan personal injury claim. While we are prepared to go to trial if necessary, most claims can be settled outside of the courtroom using insurance negotiations. Our Michigan injury lawyers can handle this process and work toward a fair settlement for you.
Is it Too Late for Me to File a Personal Injury Claim?
In Michigan, personal injury victims have up to three years to file their claims. If you are inside of that time period, you should still have time to file your claim. To be safe, talk to a personal injury lawyer to be sure you haven’t missed a filing deadline.
How Do I Prove My Michigan Personal Injury Claim?
Proving a Michigan personal injury claim requires investigation and evidence. You should collect as much evidence as you can to prove your case. That evidence includes witness statements, photos and videos of the accident scene, medical evidence and accident reports.
