Warren is Macomb County's largest city, crossed by I-696, Van Dyke, Mound Road and the 8 Mile corridor. Heavy commuter and truck traffic to the area's plants and businesses makes intersection crashes and truck collisions common.
Attorney David Goukassian represents people injured in car crashes throughout Warren and Macomb County. You work with him directly, the consultation is free, and you pay no fee unless we recover money for you.

Your two claims after a Warren crash
No-fault PIP benefits from your own auto insurance generally pay medical bills, a portion of lost wages and household help, no matter who caused the crash. Learn what PIP covers.
A claim against the at-fault driver can cover pain and suffering, if your injury meets Michigan’s serious impairment threshold, plus medical bills and wage loss beyond what no-fault pays. Learn about the threshold. If the other driver had little or no insurance, your own uninsured or underinsured coverage may help. Policy limits explained.
Medical care and records
Get medical care promptly after any Warren crash, even if you feel fine, and keep every record and bill. Gaps in treatment are one of the most common ways insurers try to reduce a claim.
Where a Warren case is filed
Most car accident claims settle with the insurance company without a lawsuit. When a lawsuit is needed, smaller claims (up to $25,000) can be filed in the 37th District Court in Warren, and larger claims in the Macomb County Circuit Court in Mount Clemens.

Frequently asked questions
I was hit by a commercial truck in Warren. Is my case different?
Often, yes. Truck cases can involve the driver, the trucking company and others, federal safety rules, and larger insurance policies. Learn about truck accident claims.
How much does it cost to hire a Warren car accident lawyer?
Nothing up front. We handle car accident cases on a contingency fee, which means our fee comes out of the money we recover. If we don’t recover anything, you don’t owe us a fee.
How long do I have to file a claim?
You generally must give your auto insurer written notice of a no-fault claim within one year of the crash, and file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver within three years. Some deadlines are shorter, so call early.
