Short answer
Grove & Associates is a Michigan personal injury firm led by attorney Justin Grove, admitted in Michigan in 2007. Most of our cases are car, truck and motorcycle crashes and no-fault claims against insurers. The consultation is free, there is no attorney fee unless money is recovered, and a person answers the phone day or night.
Injury cases we handle
Motor vehicle crashes
- Car accidents: your no-fault benefits, and a claim against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering and losses no-fault doesn’t pay.
- Truck accidents, motorcycle accidents and pedestrians and cyclists hit by a vehicle.
- Uber and Lyft accidents, bus crashes, hit-and-runs and drunk drivers.
No-fault benefits and denials
When your own insurer refuses or stops paying medical bills, wage loss or attendant care, we take the claim to the insurer and, if needed, to court. See benefits denied or cut off.
Serious injuries and fatal crashes
- Brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones and back and neck injuries.
- Wrongful death: the family’s claim when someone dies because of another person’s negligence.
Other injury matters
We also help with dog bites, falls on someone else’s property and medical malpractice, sometimes together with another firm. Call and we will tell you plainly whether we can help.
A case in focus
A $5,000 offer became $35,000, plus $45,000 in unpaid wages
- The problem
- Disc protrusions in the neck and lower back on MRI, about six months of physical therapy and a recommendation for pain procedures. The client came to us from another firm holding a $5,000 offer, and her own insurer had not paid her lost wages.
- Before
- $5,000 from the at-fault driver’s insurer, as a full and final settlement.
- What the firm did
- Took over the case from the client’s previous firm. Gathered her complete treatment records and obtained written opinions from her treating physicians on how the injuries affect her life and the long-term restrictions they will cause.
- The evidence that mattered
- The MRI findings and her treating physicians’ written opinions on her restrictions. Neither was in the file when she came to us.
- Outcome
- $35,000 for pain and suffering, against a $50,000 policy limit, settled within a few months (August 2026). Separately, $45,000 in wage-loss benefits her own no-fault insurer had not paid.
- Keep in mind
- These were two different recoveries from two insurers: $35,000 from the at-fault driver’s insurer, and $45,000 in no-fault wage-loss benefits from her own insurer. Both are gross amounts.

Details that could identify the client are left out. Every matter turns on its own facts; this does not predict the result in another case. Amounts are gross, before fees, costs and liens.
How a Michigan injury claim works
- Benefits first. After a crash, your own no-fault insurer pays medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault. Notice must reach an insurer within one year.
- Then the person responsible. Pain and suffering, and losses above what no-fault pays, come from the at-fault driver or business and their insurer. In a crash case you must show death, serious impairment of body function or permanent serious disfigurement (MCL 500.3135).
- Fault is shared. Your recovery is reduced by your share of fault, and above 50% you cannot recover pain and suffering.
- Insurance limits matter. What the responsible party carries, and your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, often decide what can be recovered. In one of our cases, finding an umbrella policy turned a $250,000 offer into a $1,250,000 recovery (see case results).
Deadlines start the day you are hurt. One year for no-fault notice, generally three years to sue, and much shorter notice periods for claims against government agencies. Use the deadline calculator.

Questions people ask us
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost in Michigan?
At our firm the consultation is free and there is no attorney fee unless money is recovered. Michigan Court Rule 8.121 treats a contingency fee above one-third of the net recovery in an injury case as excessive, and the agreement must be in writing.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Michigan?
Generally three years from the injury to sue the person or company responsible (MCL 600.5805). After a crash, notice of your own no-fault claim must reach an insurer within one year (MCL 500.3145), and claims against a government agency can require written notice within months. Check your dates with the deadline calculator or call us.
Can I recover if I was partly at fault?
Yes, if you were 50% or less at fault; your award is reduced by your share. If you were more than 50% at fault, Michigan law bars noneconomic damages such as pain and suffering, although economic damages reduced by your share may remain.
Do I have to come to the office?
No. The office is on Woodward Avenue in Bloomfield Hills and meetings there are by appointment. If you can’t get to the office, we can talk by phone or video or meet you elsewhere. A person answers the phone day or night.
