Michigan Personal Injury Lawyers
After a severe accident, getting back on your feet physically and financially requires strong legal support. Insurance companies often try to lower payouts by making low initial settlement offers or blaming you for the accident. You do not have to fight them alone.
At Cheltenham Law, PLLC, we are dedicated to protecting the rights of injured individuals and families throughout the state of Michigan. We provide experienced, responsive and results-driven advocacy grounded in a simple commitment: “Proven, Not Promised.”
How We Help You Recover After An Injury
Accidents happen in a split second, but the physical, emotional, and financial consequences can last for years. At Cheltenham Law, PLLC, we fight to protect your rights, hold responsible parties accountable, and pursue the full compensation available for your injuries and losses. We represent clients across a range of personal injury matters, including:
- Car accidents: We help you navigate Michigan’s no-fault insurance system and pursue the benefits and compensation you are entitled to, including medical expenses, lost wages, and compensation for pain and suffering caused by careless drivers.
- Slip-and-fall incidents: We hold property owners and other responsible parties accountable when dangerous conditions on commercial or residential property cause serious injuries.
- Dog bites and animal attacks: We pursue claims against dog owners under Michigan law, including MCL 287.351, seeking compensation for physical injuries, scarring, emotional trauma, and other damages—even when the dog has no history of prior aggression.
Taking prompt legal action can be critical to preserving evidence, protecting your rights, and strengthening your claim. Let Cheltenham Law handle the legal fight so you can focus on your recovery.
What To Expect When You Work With Cheltenham Law, PLLC
Many big law firms pass you off to case managers or assistants. However, when you work with us, you receive direct guidance from our lead attorney, Colline Cheltenham, from start to finish. She will handle insurance negotiations, gather your medical records and prepare your case for court. You never have to deal with corporate runaround.
On top of that, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means two important things for you:
- Zero upfront costs: You pay nothing out of pocket to hire our legal team.
- No fee unless we win: You only pay legal fees if we recover compensation for you through a settlement or court verdict.
When you work with us, you get dedicated legal support without any financial risk.
Common Personal Injury Questions
Managing an injury claim brings up many questions. To help you get started, here are quick answers to some common questions about personal injury claims.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Michigan?
In most cases, Michigan law gives you three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. However, claims involving government property or specific insurance policies have much shorter deadlines. It is often best to speak with a lawyer right away.
What types of compensation can I receive for my injuries?
You can recover both financial and personal losses. Financial damages cover medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost income and property repairs. Personal damages, on the other hand, compensate you for physical pain, emotional distress, disability and reduced quality of life.
