An injury caused by someone else’s carelessness rarely stays a medical problem for long. Within days there are hospital bills, missed shifts, and calls from an insurance adjuster who wants a statement. A Flint personal injury attorney can take those calls off your plate, find every source of payment and build a claim for the losses insurance does not cover on its own.
Khamo Law represents injured people and grieving families in Flint, Burton, Flint Township, Grand Blanc, Mount Morris, Fenton and across Genesee County. We do not have an office in Flint. Our office is in Troy, and Genesee County clients work with us by phone, by video or in person in Troy, whichever is easier while you recover. Our attorneys and staff speak Arabic, Chaldean and English. Call (248) 466-0606 for a free consultation. We work on contingency, so there is no attorney fee unless we recover money for you.
Our Michigan personal injury lawyer page explains the statewide rules. This page focuses on injury claims that start in Genesee County.
Injury Claims We Handle for Flint Clients
Car Crashes
Most of our Genesee County cases begin on the road. Flint drivers deal with hit-and-runs, uninsured drivers and the I-475 rebuild, and Michigan’s No-Fault system decides which insurer pays first. Our Flint car accident lawyer page covers those claims in detail.
Semi-Truck and Commercial Vehicle Crashes
I-75 and I-69 cross on Flint’s southwest side, and both carry heavy freight. Truck cases require fast action to preserve the carrier’s electronic logs and video. See our Flint truck accident lawyer page.
Motorcycle Crashes
Two riders died in separate Flint crashes in April 2026. Riders face a different No-Fault priority order and frequent arguments about speed. Our Flint motorcycle accident lawyer page explains how those claims work.
Pedestrians and Bicyclists
The 2024 state crash report counted 37 pedestrian crashes and 18 bicycle crashes inside Flint city limits. In October 2026, a woman walking on North Dort Highway near Nebraska Avenue was struck and killed by a driver who did not stop, WNEM reported. A person on foot or on a bike who is hit by a car can usually claim No-Fault benefits through a household auto policy, or through the Michigan Assigned Claims Plan when no policy applies. Learn more on our pedestrian accident and bicycle accident pages.
Slip and Fall and Unsafe Property
Unsalted parking lots, broken apartment stairs and spills left on store floors cause serious falls. Since the Michigan Supreme Court’s 2023 decision in Kandil-Elsayed v F & E Oil, Inc., a hazard being “open and obvious” no longer ends a case automatically; it is weighed when deciding whether the owner acted reasonably and how fault is shared. Renters also have rights under MCL 554.139, which requires landlords to keep common areas fit for their intended use. Falls on a cracked public sidewalk follow stricter rules and a 120-day notice deadline. Our Michigan slip and fall lawyer page has more.
Dog Bites
Michigan’s dog bite statute, MCL 287.351, makes an owner responsible when a dog bites someone without provocation while that person is on public property or lawfully on private property, even if the dog never bit anyone before. A homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy often pays these claims. See our Michigan dog bite lawyer page.
Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries
A traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury can change a family’s finances for decades. These claims depend on careful medical proof of future care, lost earning ability and home modifications.
Wrongful Death
When negligence takes a life, Michigan’s wrongful death act, MCL 600.2922, lets the personal representative of the estate bring a claim for the family. It can include medical and funeral costs, the financial support the person would have provided, and the loss of their love and companionship. Genesee County saw 54 traffic deaths alone in 2024. Our Michigan wrongful death lawyer page explains the process.
Genesee County Injury Risks by the Numbers
The 2024 Michigan Traffic Crash Facts report for Genesee County shows how often people in this area are hurt on the road:
- 10,087 reported crashes countywide, including 2,091 injury crashes
- 53 fatal crashes that killed 54 people, and 195 people with suspected serious injuries
- 2,531 of those crashes inside the city of Flint, where 24 people were killed
- 115 motorcycles and 503 large trucks and buses involved in county crashes
The state does not publish comparable county figures for falls or dog bites, so we do not estimate them here.
Do You Have a Personal Injury Case?
Most injury claims in Michigan come down to four questions. We look at each one during a free consultation:
- Did someone owe you a duty of care? Drivers, property owners, landlords, businesses and dog owners all do.
- Did they fall short of it? Speeding, ignoring a known hazard or letting a dog run loose are common examples.
- Did that failure cause your injury? Medical records and timing tie the two together.
- Is there a way to collect? We identify auto, commercial, homeowner’s and umbrella policies before deciding how to proceed.
Car and truck claims have one extra step. Pain and suffering against a driver is available only when the injury reaches Michigan’s serious impairment threshold under MCL 500.3135. Falls and dog bites have no such threshold.
What a Flint Injury Claim Can Recover
- Medical bills, therapy, prescriptions and future care
- Lost wages and reduced ability to earn in the future
- Pain, emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Household help and attendant care
- Funeral expenses and lost support in a death case
Which items apply depends on the type of case. In a car crash, No-Fault pays many of the economic losses first, and the claim against the driver covers the rest. In a fall or dog bite, health insurance usually pays first and may ask to be repaid from a settlement, which we factor into every offer you consider. You can see examples of past recoveries on our case results page; each case is different, and past results do not predict yours.
If the Other Side Blames You
Michigan uses comparative fault under MCL 600.2959. If you are found partly responsible, your damages are reduced by your percentage. If your share is greater than everyone else’s combined, you lose the right to noneconomic damages such as pain and suffering. Insurers raise this argument in nearly every case: that a pedestrian crossed mid-block, that a rider was speeding, or that a shopper should have seen the ice. Photos, video and witness accounts are the answer.
Deadlines That Apply in Genesee County
- Most injury lawsuits: generally three years from the injury under MCL 600.5805
- No-Fault benefits: written notice to the insurer within one year under MCL 500.3145
- Defective roads and public sidewalks: written notice usually within 120 days under MCL 691.1404
- Wrongful death: timing depends on when the estate is opened, so families should talk with a lawyer early

First Steps After an Injury in Flint
- Get medical care right away and follow through with every referral.
- Report what happened to the police, the store manager, the landlord or the dog’s owner, and ask for a copy of any report.
- Photograph the scene, the hazard and your injuries the same day.
- Write down witness names and phone numbers.
- Keep receipts, pay stubs and a short daily note on pain and limits.
- Do not give a recorded statement or sign a release for the other side’s insurer before you get advice.

Flint Personal Injury Questions
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost in Flint?
We charge nothing upfront. Our fee is a percentage of what we recover, set out in a written agreement, and if there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee.
What is my injury case worth?
Value depends on how badly you were hurt, how long recovery takes, your lost income, how fault is divided and the insurance available. Anyone who quotes a number before seeing your records is guessing.
Will my case go to trial?
Most injury claims settle without a trial. We prepare each case as though it could be tried in Genesee County, because insurers tend to offer more when they see that preparation.
A neighbor’s dog bit my child in their yard. Can we make a claim?
Often, yes. If your child was lawfully on the property and did not provoke the dog, Michigan’s statute generally makes the owner responsible, and a homeowner’s policy is usually the source of payment.
I do not have a car or insurance. Who pays if I was hit while walking?
If you live with a relative who has auto insurance, that policy may cover you. If not, you can usually apply through the Michigan Assigned Claims Plan, which has a one-year deadline.
Do I have to come to Troy?
No. Most Flint clients never need to make the drive. You are welcome at our Troy office, but phone and video work for nearly everything.
