Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after a car accident on 28th Street or other busy Kentwood roads?
Call 911 first, then contact the Kent County Sheriff's Office if needed for a police report. Seek medical attention even for minor injuries, as some symptoms appear later, and document the scene with photos if safely possible.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Michigan?
Michigan's statute of limitations gives you three years from the date of injury to file most personal injury lawsuits. However, medical malpractice cases have different deadlines, and some cases have shorter time limits, so contact an attorney promptly.
How do I choose the best personal injury attorney in Kentwood for my case?
Look for attorneys with specific personal injury experience in Kent County courts who offer free consultations. Check their track record with cases similar to yours and ensure they work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don't pay unless they win your case.
