After a car crash, Michigan’s no-fault system means your own Personal Injury Protection coverage generally pays your initial medical care and a share of lost income, regardless of fault. When your injuries meet Michigan’s legal threshold, you may also bring a third-party claim against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering.
The rules are technical and the deadlines strict, and insurers sometimes cut off benefits improperly. We make sure your claim is structured correctly and your benefits are protected.
Downtown Royal Oak is one of the busiest entertainment districts in Metro Detroit. Its concentration of bars, restaurants, theaters, and nightlife draws large crowds, especially on weekends, and that mix of foot traffic, parking, and alcohol creates a distinct set of injury risks.
Common Downtown Injury Claims
- Pedestrians struck while walking between venues or crossing busy streets
- Crashes involving drivers leaving bars and restaurants
- Slip and falls inside or outside restaurants, bars, and shops
- Parking-structure and parking-lot collisions
Drunk Driving and Dram Shop Claims
When a drunk driver causes a crash in or around downtown Royal Oak, Michigan law may allow a claim not only against the driver but, in certain circumstances, against an establishment that unlawfully served a visibly intoxicated person. These dram shop claims have specific notice requirements and short deadlines, so it is important to act quickly. We can evaluate whether such a claim applies in your case.
Michigan injury claims carry strict deadlines that vary by claim type. No-fault claims have early notice requirements, dram shop claims tied to alcohol service have especially short notice windows, and claims involving government entities can be shorter still. Because some deadlines arrive fast, contact an attorney as soon as possible after your injury.
Insurers look for any reason to reduce or deny what they pay. Avoiding these common missteps protects the value of your case:
- Don't give the insurer a recorded statement before talking to a lawyer
- Don't post about the accident or your activities online
- Don't skip or delay medical treatment
- Don't accept the first settlement offer
- Don't wait - deadlines and evidence don't
Throughout the process we keep you informed and make sure the major decisions are yours to make, with our guidance.

Woodward Avenue (M-1) runs straight through Royal Oak and is one of the highest-traffic corridors in the region. Its wide lanes, heavy volume, and constant pedestrian activity downtown make it a frequent site of collisions, from rear-end crashes to turning accidents and pedestrian injuries.
Each August, the Woodward Dream Cruise brings well over a million people and tens of thousands of vehicles to the corridor. The surge in traffic, distracted spectators, and crowded streets sharply increases the risk of accidents in and around Royal Oak. If you were hurt on Woodward, during the Dream Cruise or any other time, we can help.
- Woodward Avenue rear-end and turning collisions
- Pedestrian injuries along the downtown corridor
- Dream Cruise weekend crashes and crowd-related injuries
- Motorcycle accidents, common on this corridor
In addition to Troy, Ajrouch Law represents injury victims throughout Oakland County, including:
How much does it cost to hire a Royal Oak personal injury lawyer?
We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront and owe no attorney fee unless we recover compensation in your case.
I was hit by a drunk driver leaving a Royal Oak bar. What are my options?
You may have a claim against the driver, and in certain circumstances a dram shop claim against an establishment that unlawfully served a visibly intoxicated person. Dram shop claims have short notice deadlines, so contact us quickly so your rights are preserved.
I was injured on Woodward during the Dream Cruise. Can you help?
Yes. We handle crashes and pedestrian injuries along Woodward, including during the Dream Cruise, when traffic and crowds dramatically increase the risk. We investigate these cases promptly to preserve evidence.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Michigan?
Deadlines vary by claim type, and some no-fault and dram shop notice requirements come due far sooner than the general statute of limitations. Contact us as soon as possible so your deadlines are protected.
Do I have to use my own insurance after a car accident?
Under Michigan no-fault, your own Personal Injury Protection coverage typically pays your initial medical bills and wage loss regardless of fault. We also pursue a claim against the at-fault driver when your injuries qualify.
What if I was partly at fault?
Michigan uses a comparative fault system, which can reduce but not always eliminate your recovery. We evaluate how fault may affect your case during your free consultation.
Do you serve areas outside Royal Oak?
Yes. We represent injury victims throughout Oakland County and across Michigan. Royal Oak is one of many communities we serve.
