We Have Experience Handling Many Types of Personal Injury Cases
As mentioned, personal injury covers a wide range of accidents. Our personal injury lawyers in Novi specialize in a variety of cases. Some of these cases include:
Car Accidents
Car accidents are one of Michigan’s most common causes of personal injuries. According to the Michigan State Police, there were nearly 52,000 injury crashes in the Great Lake State in 2023. Whether caused by distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, or other forms of negligence, car accidents can lead to severe injuries or even fatalities.
Michigan operates under a no-fault insurance system, meaning that your insurance company will cover your medical expenses and lost wages after a car accident, regardless of who was at fault. However, in cases involving serious injury or death, you may be able to step outside the no-fault system and sue a Michigan driver if they are liable. You must prove that the other driver was negligent to succeed in a car accident claim outside the no-fault system.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle riders are particularly vulnerable on the road, and accidents often result in serious injuries due to the lack of protective barriers. Michigan law requires riders under 21 to wear a helmet; however, those over 21 can ride without a helmet if they have at least $20,000 in first-party medical benefits. If you were not wearing a helmet at the time of your accident, it could impact your compensation, but it does not automatically bar you from recovery because of Michigan’s comparative negligence law.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents can occur on public or private property and often result from hazardous conditions. Property owners have a duty to maintain their premises in a safe condition and can be held liable if they fail to do so. To succeed in a slip-and-fall case, you must prove that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to address it.
Workplace Accidents
Workplace injuries can result from unsafe working conditions, defective equipment, or third-party negligence. While workers’ compensation generally covers workplace injuries, there are situations where a third-party claim may be appropriate. Workers’ compensation provides benefits regardless of fault but may not fully cover your losses, in which case you can file a separate personal injury lawsuit for additional compensation.
Dog Bite Injuries
Dog bites can cause severe physical and emotional trauma. Under Michigan law, a dog owner is liable for damages if their dog bites a person who was lawfully on public or private property, regardless of the dog’s previous behavior. Our experienced attorneys will investigate your accident, determine who is at fault for your dog bite injury, and pursue compensation.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is devastating. While no amount of money can replace your loss, a wrongful death lawsuit can provide financial support and a sense of justice for your family. Michigan law allows certain family members to file a wrongful death lawsuit for damages, including medical expenses, funeral costs, loss of income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering endured by the deceased before their death.
Other personal injury cases we handle at White Law PLLC include truck accidents, pedestrian accidents, nursing home abuse, premises liability, and brain, spinal cord, and burn injuries. Contact our Novi personal injury lawyers today if someone else’s negligence caused you injuries. We will investigate your case, determine liability, calculate your damages, and pursue maximum compensation.

Compensation You Can Recover in a Personal Injury Case
One of our clients’ most common questions is, “How much is my case worth?” The value of your personal injury claim depends on various factors, including the severity of your injuries, the impact on your ability to work, and the emotional toll of the accident. Generally, you can receive economic and non-economic damages, and in rare cases, you can get punitive damages in Michigan.
You will always work directly with your attorney throughout your case.
