An accident can upend your life in seconds. Medical bills, missed work, and the runaround from insurers make recovery even harder. At Liss, Shapero & Mitnick (LSM), we put your rights first and fight for the full compensation Michigan law allows—so you can focus on healing while we handle the rest.

What Your Claim Can Cover
Depending on your case, recoverable damages may include:
Medical care (past and future), rehab, and assistive devices
Wage loss and diminished earning capacity
Pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and scarring/disfigurement
Household/replacement services and attendant care when applicable
Wrongful death damages for eligible family members
Auto cases in Michigan also involve important No-Fault (PIP) benefits—our team protects those benefits and pursues any at-fault and UM/UIM claims.
Our Approach
Immediate protection of your benefits (No-Fault/PIP, wage loss, medical).
Early evidence action: scene photos, video, witness statements, black-box/ECM data, and maintenance/inspection records.
Medical documentation that tells your story: treating providers, specialists, and experts for TBI, spine, orthopedic, and PTSD.
Negotiation leverage built for settlement—or trial-ready when insurers won’t be fair.
Cases We Handle
Motor Vehicle Accidents: cars, trucks, commercial vehicles, motorcycle, pedestrian, bicycle, and boating.

What To Do After An Accident
Get medical care immediately and follow treatment plans.
Report the incident and document the scene (photos, names, insurance, witnesses).
Avoid recorded statements to insurers until you’ve spoken with counsel.
Track expenses and symptoms (keep bills, receipts, mileage, time off work).
Call LSM early—deadlines apply, and early action preserves evidence and benefits.
FAQs
How long do I have to file? Deadlines depend on the claim type (and can be short). Contact us promptly so we can preserve your rights.
Will my case settle or go to trial? Most resolve before trial, but we prepare every case as if it will be tried—this creates leverage for a fair result.
What does “No-Fault” mean in Michigan? After an auto crash, your own PIP benefits may cover medical and wage loss regardless of fault. We also pursue negligence claims against at-fault drivers and UM/UIM coverage when needed.
How do legal fees work? We work on contingency. You pay no fee unless we win.
