I cannot say enough wonderful things about Katie Tucker and her paralegal Teri! From the very beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. Katie took the time to patiently explain every detail and answer all of my questions, even when I was feeling overwhelmed. She was compassionate and supportive while I navigated a very stressful time, which made a world of difference. If you are looking for a lawyer who not only knows the law but truly cares about her clients, Katie Tucker and Teri are the absolute best. I feel so grateful to have had their guidance and support, and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants top notch legal help with compassion and care.

I was in an accident and it wasn’t my fault and as a result I ended up with a scar on my upper left side of my forehead. I was going to let it go at first but family and friends said I should pursue a case. I’m so glad I did and went with Sinas Dramis. Katherine and her wonderful assistant Terilynne were amazing! I was satisfied with the outcome of the settlement and Katherine is definitely good at what she does.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a personal injury claim?
A personal injury claim is a legal action seeking compensation after someone is harmed by another party’s negligence. In Michigan, injured victims may recover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Learn how a Michigan personal injury lawyer can help protect your right to full compensation.
How do I know if I have a personal injury case?
You likely have a personal injury case if someone else’s negligence caused your injury and financial losses. In Michigan, you must prove duty, breach, causation, and damages. If you have medical bills or lost income, request a free case evaluation to determine your legal options.
What types of damages can I recover?
In Michigan, personal injury victims may recover economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include medical bills, lost wages, and future care costs. Non-economic damages include pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. The value depends on injury severity and long-term impact.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Michigan?
Under Michigan Compiled Laws, most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within three years of the injury date. However, no-fault PIP claims and claims against government entities may have shorter notice deadlines. Missing the statute of limitations can permanently bar your claim.
Do I need a lawyer for a personal injury claim?
You are not legally required to hire a lawyer, but insurance companies often minimize payouts. An experienced Michigan personal injury attorney can gather evidence, negotiate aggressively, and file suit if necessary. Most work on contingency, meaning you pay nothing unless compensation is recovered.
Will my case go to trial?
Most Michigan personal injury cases settle before trial. However, if liability is disputed or the insurance company refuses a fair offer, your case may proceed to court. Preparing every case as if it will go to trial often increases settlement value and strengthens negotiating power.
What does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?
Most Michigan personal injury attorneys, including our attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no upfront fees and no hourly charges. The attorney receives a percentage of the settlement or verdict. If you do not recover compensation, you typically owe no attorney fees.
Can I sue the at-fault driver in an auto accident?
Michigan’s no-fault law limits lawsuits, but you can sue the at-fault driver if your injuries qualify as a “serious impairment of body function.” If that legal threshold is met, you may recover pain and suffering and excess economic damages beyond your no-fault coverage. A Michigan car accident lawyer can help determine is you meet the threshold.
What are no-fault PIP benefits?
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits are part of Michigan’s no-fault auto insurance system. PIP pays medical expenses, wage loss, and replacement services regardless of fault. Learn more about Michigan no-fault PIP benefits explained under the 2019 reform changes.
What are my rights as an injured motorcyclist?
Injured motorcyclists in Michigan may pursue compensation from the at-fault driver for pain and suffering and excess damages. They may also qualify for no-fault benefits in certain situations. A Michigan motorcycle accident lawyer can help determine all available sources of recovery.
Who is held liable for my injuries from an accident with a semi-truck?
Liability in a Michigan semi-truck accident may extend beyond the driver. The trucking company, vehicle owner, or maintenance provider may also be responsible. A Michigan truck accident attorney can investigate federal regulations and insurance policies to identify all liable parties.
Can I get no-fault benefits as an injured motorcyclist?
Motorcyclists do not carry mandatory PIP coverage, but they may still receive no-fault benefits. In many cases, benefits are available through the insurer of the motor vehicle involved or through the Michigan Assigned Claims Plan if no coverage exists. Strict notice deadlines apply.
What benefits are available if my loved one was killed in a motor vehicle accident?
If a loved one is killed in a Michigan motor vehicle accident, surviving family members may recover survivor’s benefits and file a wrongful death lawsuit. Learn how a Michigan wrongful death claim can provide compensation for funeral costs, lost income, and loss of companionship under Michigan Compiled Laws.
