Personal Injury Attorneys in Michigan
What to Expect in Your Personal Injury Case
We’re proud to say we’re not a firm that relies on underhanded tactics, and after 100 years of honestly serving Michigan families, we don’t plan to start. Unlike some firms that might dig up a police report to get your personal information or send a representative to your house and pester you, we rely on the quality of our work and satisfied clients to speak for us.
Our clients are our priority. When you start your personal injury case, you can count on our dedicated team to patiently go through any questions you have, walk you through the litigation process so you’ll never feel lost or overwhelmed, and move heaven and earth to ensure you enjoy the justice you deserve. We are the oldest Michigan law firm, and our experience ensures the best results, with some recent settlements exceeding even one million dollars.
Every case is different, and we will treat every case with the special care and attention it needs. Home and hospital visits are available. There are occasions when a client or potential client is so injured that they can’t come into the office; please let us know if you are unable to travel. We will happily accommodate you.
Once we have evaluated your claim and have found that representation is appropriate, we will keep you updated on all important developments in your case. Keeping you informed is as important to us as it is to you. Many of our clients have never been involved in any claim or litigation process before; we consider our ability to walk these clients through the process one of our strongest skills. If you think you may have a claim, give us a call at

Helping You Get Compensation
Many people who suffer a serious injury are entitled to some form of legal compensation – the world is, after all, supposed to be a safe place. At Bernstein & Bernstein, we work to ensure you receive appropriate compensation for your injuries. Whether it be the medical bills you’ve endured, the wages you’ve lost from having to take days off for your injuries, the pain you’ve endured and suffered, or general damages, we strive to ensure your recovery will be as pain – and debt-free as possible.
What We’ll Cover
Injury and illness usually hit without warning: you’re stopped at a red light, waiting patiently for your turn, when an out-of-control driver rams the back of your car; walking your dog to the park for a relaxing day when a neighbor’s unleashed and unfenced canine assaults you and your beloved pet; doing your weekly grocery shopping when a careless employee forgot to leave out a wet floor sign by the spilled fountain drink, and you end up on the floor. Many injuries are caused this way. The legal term is “negligence,” whether it be a negligent driver, a negligent dog owner, or a negligent supermarket; when you suffer injury because of someone else’s negligence, you’re entitled to just compensation.
Of course, not every injury is the result of negligence. Say you’re lifting some heavy boxes at work and throw your back out – who was negligent there? This kind of injury would be called a Workers’ Compensation case. For more information on Workers’ Compensation claims, click the link. Or say you were actually at fault for your accident. Good news - you’re still entitled to compensation through Michigan’s No-Fault Act! Click the link for more.
The amount you’re entitled to will vary depending on the severity of the injury. Severity, however, isn’t limited to physical pain. Even a minor injury or an injury that’ll heal in a few months is Compensable; the more medical bills the injury racks up, the more unpaid time off of work the injury forces you to take, and, of course, the more painful the injury is, the more compensation you’ll be entitled to.
If you think this might sound like you, then we’d recommend you start looking for an attorney today. However, if you want to get the best results, you’ll want the best attorneys. Personal injury cases like yours typically require expert testimony – like the team of experts Bernstein & Bernstein keeps on-call – expert litigators who know the legal field in and out – like the legal team we at Bernstein & Bernstein are proud to boast of – and a proven, 100-year track record of success.
