An unexpected injury can disrupt nearly every part of your life. You may be dealing with medical appointments, time away from work, mounting expenses, and uncertainty about your recovery. At the same time, an insurance company may be asking questions or requesting a statement before you fully understand the extent of your injuries.
Fillmore Law helps clients make sense of what comes next. James Fillmore takes the time to learn how the injury occurred, how it has affected you, and what evidence may be needed to support your claim.
With an office in Southfield, the firm offers local, accessible representation for people seeking answers after an accident or preventable injury.

No attorney can guarantee a particular result. James evaluates the available evidence and works to present a clear account of how the injury has affected the client financially, physically, and personally.
Your health should come first. Seek appropriate medical attention, follow your providers’ recommendations, and keep records of your appointments and treatment.

Evidence can become more difficult to locate over time, and Michigan law places deadlines on injury claims. Contacting a lawyer promptly can help preserve important information and prevent you from unknowingly giving up available options.
Insurance representatives may appear helpful, but their role is to evaluate the claim on behalf of the insurer. A quick settlement offer may not account for continuing treatment, time away from work, or the full long-term effect of an injury.
James can review insurance communications, help document your losses, and negotiate on your behalf. If a reasonable resolution cannot be reached, he can discuss whether pursuing the matter in court is appropriate.
The goal is to help you make informed decisions without unnecessary pressure.
