Michigan Legal Practice Areas

Automobile accidents (car accidents in particular) are among the leading causes of serious injuries, hospitalizations, and deaths in Michigan. With Michigan being a no-fault state, you can file a claim against your own insurance carrier and get compensated for your injuries and lost wages – regardless of who was at fault for the accident and to what extent.

Correlating with this, if you are severely disfigured or impaired as a result of the accident, you have the right to sue the other party and recover damages – in addition to receiving no-fault benefits.

The Michigan personal injury lawyers at The Lobb Firm can represent you, protect your rights as an injury victim, prove that your injuries meet the threshold for serious injuries under Michigan law, and fight tenaciously to recover full and fair compensation for any of your personal injury cases.

Truck accidents in Michigan almost always result in catastrophic injuries for the parties involved. Due to their massive size and weight, commercial trucks pose a threat to other motorists as well as vulnerable road users like motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians.

What makes truck accident claims more complex than car accident claims is that the legal concept of vicarious liability might come into the picture. Depending on the circumstances, the truck company could be held liable for the driver’s actions. Similarly, other third parties like maintenance contractors, loaders, and shippers could also be held liable for your injuries.

At The Lobb Law Firm, we have experienced personal injuries attorneys who have successfully handled several commercial truck accident claims over the years and recovered millions in damages for our clients. A Detroit personal injury lawyer can determine who can be held liable for the accident, hold them accountable for their negligence or breach of duty, and ensure you sufficiently recover compensation for your medical bills, severe injuries, and other losses.

Slip, trip, and fall accidents can result in fractures (hip fractures in particular), back injuries, head injuries, and so on. Slip and trip accidents account for more than 1 million emergency room visits and fall accidents account for more than 8 million emergency room visits every year.

Depending on where and how the accident happened, different legal doctrines could come into play in a slip and fall claim. If you slip and fall on someone’s property, you can file a premises liability claim. If you slip and fall at work, you can file a workers’ compensation claim. If you slip and fall at work due to the negligence or breach of duty of a third party, you can file a personal injury claim against them – in addition to filing a workers’ comp claim with your own employer. If the accident was caused by a defective product or equipment, you can file a product liability claim against the manufacturer.

Whether it is premises liability claims, personal injury claims, product liability claims, or workers’ compensation claims, one of our personal injury attorneys can guide you through the process and will fight hard to obtain the compensation you deserve.

Pedestrians are undoubtedly the most vulnerable road users and are more likely to be injured and killed in traffic accidents than cyclists, motorcyclists, and motorists. Accidents involving pedestrians and motorists can result in catastrophic, life-threatening injuries.

One of our pedestrian accident personal injury attorneys can take on your case and carefully gather all the evidence needed to maximize the value of your claim and prove the at-fault party’s liability. They will put our expertise and resources to work to get you the best possible outcome that other Detroit personal injury lawyers cannot.

Motorcyclists are over-represented in traffic-related injuries and fatalities – not just in Michigan, but all over the country. A significant percentage of motorcycle accidents happen because many motorists only tend to look out for cars and trucks while making a turn, changing lanes, or at intersections. They simply do not look for motorcyclists, which increases the risk of collisions significantly.

The motorcycle accident personal injury lawyers at The Lobb Law Firm can represent you, determine the extent of your injuries and other monetary losses, gather the evidence required to bolster your claim, and aggressively negotiate with the other party’s insurance company to get you the restitution you are owed.

Social security disability and supplemental income benefits are meant to protect the most vulnerable and economically disadvantaged people in society. Unfortunately, these claims can be rejected for a variety of different reasons, and the process of appealing a denied claim can be tedious and time-consuming.

If you are looking to apply for Social Security Disability (SSD) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), if you already applied and your claim is being delayed, or if it has been rejected, the social security lawyers at The Lobb Law Firm can help you. We can help you apply for social security benefits or file an appeal if your application was rejected and make sure you get the benefits you are entitled to as a hard-working citizen.

The Michigan workers’ compensation system is designed to provide workers with a financial safety net and make sure they are adequately compensated for work-related injuries and illnesses. If you have been injured at work, we can help you file a claim, file an appeal if it gets rejected, and take steps to make sure you get the benefits in a timely manner.

If your injury or illness at work was caused by the negligence of a party other than your employer, we can file a personal injury claim against them and recover damages as well.
