I was struck and ran over on the sidewalk as I was riding my bicycle on my way to work. That accident spiraled me into financial hardship because I wasn’t able to work and support my family and myself for months. Attorney Brian Lawson and his assistant Amanda Rowley, with the Sinas Dramis Personal Injury Law Firm, did an excellent job on winning the personal lawsuit case for me. They understood my pain of what I was going through. By me having mental disabilities, Brian and Amanda was very patient with me. They explained and helped me to understand legal documents before I signed them. They checked on me to see how I was doing. Brian, Amanda, and Sinas Dramis Personal Injury Law Firm are a remarkable group of people who are in tune with people that suffered personal injuries and losses. They are a people’s people. I thank you all very much for a job well done!

After a sustaining an injury in a MVA, Sinas Dramis came recommended to us and we were referred to them by a family friend on the east side of the state. This was the best decision we could have made in the situation. Working with them has been nothing short of exceptional. Communication from all of the team at Sinas Dramis is always prompt, professional and courteous. During the course of our time with Sinas Dramis, they also assisted us with a few other questions that were relating to the aftermath of my MVA and medical care received. They always went above and beyond for us. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a personal injury lawyer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a personal injury claim?
How do I know if I have a personal injury case in Michigan?
In Michigan, a valid personal injury case must show:
- Legal Duty – The defendant owed you a duty of care (for example, drivers must obey Michigan’s traffic laws).
- Breach of Duty – The defendant failed to meet that duty by acting carelessly or recklessly (such as texting while driving or running a red light).
- Causation – The breach directly caused your injury (for instance, a driver runs a stop sign, hits your vehicle, and you suffer a broken bone).
What counts as “damages” in a personal injury claim?
To bring a successful claim, you must show damages. Damages may include:
- Economic losses such as medical bills, rehabilitation costs, or lost income.
- Non-economic losses such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, or loss of enjoyment of life.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Michigan?
Will my case go to trial?
Do I need a Grand Rapids personal injury lawyer?
You may need a Grand Rapids personal injury lawyer if your injury was caused by another person’s negligence and resulted in serious harm – such as high medical bills, lost wages, or long-term impact on your quality of life. A lawyer can evaluate your case, explain your legal rights, and fight for the compensation you deserve.
When should I call a lawyer after an accident in Grand Rapids?
It’s best to contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after your accident. Michigan law has strict filing deadlines, and insurance companies often move quickly to minimize payouts. Having a lawyer early helps protect your rights, preserve evidence, and strengthen your claim.
