Brighton personal injury attorneys
Our record speaks to those we've helped in Michigan
For over four and a half decades, our personal injury attorneys have fought for injury victims throughout Michigan, including Brighton and Livingston County. We've recovered millions of dollars in compensation for clients, including significant verdicts in cases other firms refused to take. Our reputation for trial readiness means insurance companies take our cases seriously from the start.
Brighton Personal Injury Attorneys Serving Livingston County
Brighton sits at the busy interchange of US-23 and I-96 in Livingston County, with Grand River Avenue, Old US-23, and Lee Road carrying heavy commuter traffic. The combination of high-speed highways, lake-season congestion around the Mill Pond and Brighton State Recreation Area, and suburban shopping centers creates serious accident risks. When negligence causes serious injury, Brighton victims need attorneys who understand local conditions and have the resources to fight for full compensation.
At Logeman & Iafrate, P.C., we've spent more than 45 years representing injury victims throughout Brighton, Livingston County, and Michigan. Our firm has the experience, local knowledge, and trial-tested reputation needed to hold negligent parties accountable and maximize your recovery.
Practice Areas We Handle in Brighton
Our firm handles every type of personal injury case affecting Brighton residents:
Highway and Interstate Crashes
Brighton's location at the US-23/I-96 interchange makes highway crashes particularly common. We represent victims of high-speed collisions, commercial truck accidents, distracted driving crashes, and drunk driving incidents on local highways and surface streets.
Motorcycle Accidents
Livingston County's scenic roads attract motorcyclists, but crashes along US-23, I-96, and Grand River Avenue frequently cause catastrophic injuries. We represent injured motorcyclists facing denied insurance claims and biased insurance adjusters who blame riders for crashes they didn't cause.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents
Brighton's recreational areas and residential neighborhoods see significant bicycle and pedestrian traffic. When negligent drivers strike cyclists or pedestrians, we pursue full compensation for their injuries.
Slip-and-Fall and Premises Liability
Property owners in Brighton—from restaurants along Main Street to apartment complexes to big-box retailers—must maintain safe premises. When dangerous conditions like ice, wet floors, or broken stairs cause injuries, we hold negligent property owners accountable.
Catastrophic Injuries and Wrongful Death
Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, severe burns, and amputations require extensive medical care and lifelong support. We work with medical experts, life care planners, and economists to secure full compensation for catastrophic injuries and wrongful death cases throughout Livingston County.
Medical Malpractice
When doctors, nurses, and hospitals provide substandard care, patients suffer devastating consequences. We represent victims of surgical errors, birth injuries, diagnostic failures, and medication mistakes at hospitals throughout the region.
Product Liability
Defective products—from auto parts to household appliances—cause serious injuries. We hold manufacturers, distributors, and retailers accountable when their products harm consumers.
Michigan No-Fault Insurance and Brighton Injury Claims
Michigan's no-fault insurance system provides important protections for accident victims, including payment of medical expenses, wage loss, and household services regardless of fault. The 2020 reforms eliminated mandatory unlimited lifetime medical coverage, making it critical to understand your coverage and pursue all available benefits.
Our firm handles all aspects of Michigan no-fault claims, including:
- First-party PIP benefit claims
- Priority disputes between insurance companies
- Denials and underpayment of no-fault benefits
- Coordination with health insurance and Medicare
- Attendant care and replacement services claims
Motorcyclists face particular challenges because motorcycles are not "motor vehicles" for no-fault purposes. Our attorneys know how to trace coverage and force insurers to pay the benefits Brighton riders are owed.
Compensation Available in Brighton Injury Cases
Michigan law allows injury victims to pursue comprehensive compensation for their losses:
- Medical expenses—past, current, and future medical care, including surgery, hospitalization, rehabilitation, and medication
- Wage loss—income lost during recovery and diminished future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering—physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life
- Out-of-pocket expenses—transportation, home modifications, and household help
- Loss of consortium—the impact of injuries on family relationships
- Punitive damages—in cases involving particularly reckless or malicious conduct
For catastrophic injuries requiring lifetime care, total compensation can reach millions of dollars.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to what matters most about your case and how we work.
What types of injury cases do you handle in Brighton?
We handle all types of personal injury cases in Brighton and throughout Livingston County, including car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle crashes, bicycle and pedestrian accidents, slip-and-fall injuries, medical malpractice, defective products, wrongful death, brain and spinal cord injuries, dog bites, and premises liability cases. If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence, we can help.
How much does it cost to hire a Brighton personal injury lawyer?
We work on a contingency-fee basis, meaning you pay no legal fees unless we win your case. The initial consultation is always free, and there are no upfront costs or hourly fees. Our compensation comes as a percentage of the recovery we obtain for you. This arrangement ensures quality legal representation is accessible regardless of financial situation.
How long do I have to file an injury claim in Brighton?
Michigan's statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally three years from the date of injury. However, certain claims have much shorter deadlines. Claims against government entities often require a formal Notice of Claim within 60 to 120 days. No-fault insurance claims require notification to your insurance company within one year. Contact an attorney immediately to preserve your rights.
What is Michigan's no-fault insurance system?
Michigan's no-fault insurance system requires auto insurance policies to provide Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits, including medical expenses, wage loss, and household services, regardless of who caused the crash. The 2020 reforms eliminated mandatory unlimited lifetime medical coverage. Motorcyclists and others not covered by auto PIP may need additional insurance planning. Our attorneys can explain how these rules apply to your case.
What if I was partly at fault for my accident?
Michigan follows comparative negligence rules. You can still recover compensation even if you were partly at fault, but your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you were more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover anything. Insurance companies frequently exaggerate victim fault—having experienced representation makes a critical difference in the outcome.
