CAR ACCIDENTS

Car accidents can cause serious consequences, including life-threatening injuries. If you are suffering a serious injury due to a car accident, you may be able to pursue compensation. At the Law Offices of Todd J. Stern, we have handled a wide range of injury claims involving car accidents.

DRUNK DRIVE ACCIDENTS

HIT & RUN ACCIDENTS

TEXTING WHILE DRIVING

TRUCK ACCIDENTS

Large trucks are subject to state and federal trucking regulations intended to promote safety for drivers on the highway. In Michigan, these regulations are enforced by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and are further assisted by the Michigan Truck Safety Commission (MTSC).

CONSTRUCTION SITE INJURIES

In many construction accident cases, injured workers are eligible for workers' compensation and additional damages from a negligent third party. At the Law Offices of Todd J. Stearn, P.C., we help injured construction workers in the Southfield area recover compensation. If you are suffering injuries, be sure to seek out our firm for counsel you can rely on.

INJURIES ON CITY &
COUNTY PROPERTY

If you suffered a slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall on city or county property, you could be eligible for compensation. In order for there to be a claim, you must prove that you used reasonable caution while walking in a certain area, while the owner, tenant, or city/county official failed to maintain a safe and secure premises.

WRONGFUL DEATH SUITS

The sudden death of a loved one can be devastating, especially when you know that the loss could have been prevented if not for the negligence of another person. At the Law Offices of Todd J. Stearn, P.C., we are committed to providing understanding legal representation and dedicated counsel to families of loved ones who have passed away tragically in an accident. When you choose to work with our firm, we will review your case and ensure that your rights are protected. 

MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS

Motorcycles are not defined as "motor vehicles" according to Michigan's No-Fault Act which allows for both parties to receive benefits from their insurance provider regardless of who caused the accident. However, a motorcyclist involved in an accident can still receive No-Fault insurance benefits.

UNINSURED MOTORIST CLAIMS

Even minor car accidents are enough to upend someone's life. They can cause substantial bills, lost wages, and lasting injuries. Here in Michigan, no-fault insurance policies help any driver, regardless of fault, pay for medical expenses and lost wages—but what about other damages? What happens when another driver causes undue pain and suffering and they don't have the insurance to pay you or your family the deserved compensation?

DOG BITES

More than 4 million dog bite incidents occur in the United States, with hundreds of thousands of these bites needing medical attention. In Michigan, the law provides for strict liability in dog bite cases. This means that the dog's owner is liable for the damage unless the victim deliberately provoked the dog. Regardless of where the attack occurs, we seek compensation from the animal owner's homeowner's insurance policy.

SLIP & FALL / TRIP & FALL ACCIDENTS

Accidents that occur on another party's property and are caused by the property owner's negligence. If you or a loved one has been injured in a slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accident, you may be able to collect compensation for your losses, including medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. According to Michigan law, you have only 3 years to file a claim for your injury before the statute of limitations expires.

PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS

Too often, people driving cars are careless about their surroundings, which can have dangerous consequences. The law is clear—pedestrians have rights that drivers have to respect. When drivers fail to respect these rights, it can lead to injuries. If the negligence of a driver resulted in you or a loved one sustaining an injury, you may be entitled to seek compensation for your injuries. At the Law Offices of Todd J. Stearn, P.C., our team is focused on helping victims of pedestrian accidents through the legal system.
