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.

Steve and his team represented my daughter after a car accident. Everyone was kind, responsive and wonderful to work with. My daughter’s accident was a very hard time in our lives, but Steve worked so hard to get her the compensation she deserved. We are beyond grateful with our experience.
– Kelli
★★★★★
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 do I need to know about Michigan's auto no-fault law?
Michigan’s no-fault law ensures injured accident victims receive key benefits – like medical expenses, work loss, replacement services, and survivor loss – through their own auto insurer regardless of fault. These PIP benefits are guaranteed to qualifying injured parties. Learn more.
What are no-fault PIP benefits and what do they cover?
No-fault Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits pay for critical coverage after a Michigan car accident, including medically necessary expenses, a portion of lost wages (up to 85% for up to three years), services you can no longer perform (like housekeeping), and survivor’s loss and funeral expenses if death occurs. Learn more.
What benefits are available if a loved one was killed in a motor vehicle accident?
Under Michigan’s no-fault law, families can claim survivor’s loss benefits – including after-tax income, lost fringe benefits, and replacement services -and also receive funeral and burial expenses, all typically capped by the monthly benefit limit. Learn more.
What are my rights if I was injured in a car accident that wasn’t my fault?
If you’re injured in a car accident that wasn’t your fault, you may pursue a liability lawsuit against the at-fault driver seeking compensation for non-economic damages like pain and suffering, and for economic losses not covered by PIP benefits – provided your injury meets Michigan’s “serious impairment” threshold. Learn more.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Michigan?
In Michigan, you typically have three years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, claims for no-fault benefits must be filed within one year of the insurer’s denial or the date the expense was incurred.
Can I sue the at-fault driver in an auto accident?
Yes. If your injuries meet Michigan’s “threshold” (serious impairment, disfigurement, or death), you can sue the negligent driver for non-economic damages (pain and suffering) and excess economic losses that exceed PIP coverage. Even if partially at fault, you may recover reduced damages under comparative fault rules. Learn more.
What if the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured?
You may still have options under your own insurance policy’s uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Our Lansing attorneys can review your policy and explain your rights.
How do I get my Lansing car accident police report?
You can request your Lansing Police Department traffic crash report online via the city’s official site for approximately $10, or you can obtain it instantly through LexisNexis for around $19 – just have the accident date and report number ready.
Do I need a lawyer after a Lansing car accident?
Not every fender bender requires legal help, but if you’ve been seriously injured, denied no-fault benefits, or face mounting medical bills, an experienced lawyer can protect your rights and maximize your recovery.
Do I have to pay taxes on a car accident settlement in Lansing?
No, most personal injury settlements are not taxable under federal or Michigan law. If you’ve received a settlement after working with a Lansing car accident lawyer, the money you receive for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering is generally tax-free. Exceptions may include punitive damage or emotional distress unrelated to physical injury – but these are rare in auto accident cases.
Can I receive my Lansing car accident settlement in payments over time?
Yes. While many people choose a lump sum, your Lansing car accident lawyer can help arrange a structured settlement. This option provides regular payments over time and can include a tax-free rate of return. It’s a helpful choice for long-term budgeting or larger settlements.
Do I have to pay upfront for a lawyer?
No. At Sinas Dramis, we work on a contingency fee basis – meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case.
