Michigan Car and Truck Accident Case Referrals
Refer Your Michigan Car or Truck Accident Case to Lipton Law
No Fee Unless We Win Your Client's Case
Attorneys throughout Michigan and across the country refer their car accident clients to Lipton Law because they know our Southfield-based trial team will deliver the result their client deserves and protect the referring attorney’s fee every step of the way. Whether you have a conflict of interest, lack experience in motor vehicle litigation, or simply want your client in the hands of a firm with a proven record, Lipton Law is ready to step in.
When you refer a car accident case to our firm, you’re not handing it off to strangers. You’re partnering with a team that over 650 attorneys across Michigan and the United States already trust with their clients’ most important cases.
Why Over 650 Attorneys Choose Lipton Law for Car and Truck Accident Referrals
Lipton Law has represented injured Michigan residents since 1964. In that time, we’ve become the go-to referral firm for hundreds of solo practitioners and law firms who need a trial-ready team for car, truck, and motorcycle accident cases. More than 650 lawyers throughout the state and nationwide send us their auto accident clients because they know our attorneys and staff will:
- Treat the referred client with the same priority and personal attention as a client who walked through our own door
- Pursue the maximum settlement or verdict available under Michigan's no-fault and third-party liability laws
- Keep the referring attorney informed and properly credited from intake through final disbursement
- Pay referral fees promptly and in accordance with Michigan Rule of Professional Conduct 1.5(e)
Our twelve attorneys and two full-time nurses bring a combined 250-plus years of experience handling auto accident, no-fault, and catastrophic injury claims. That depth of experience matters when a referred case involves disputed liability, multiple insurers, or a client with permanent, life-altering injuries.
Types of Michigan Auto Accident Cases We Accept on Referral
The state of Michigan sees tens of thousands of motor vehicle crashes every year, and many leave victims with injuries that will affect them for the rest of their lives. Our Michigan auto accident attorneys accept referrals involving:
- Car and truck accidents of all kinds, including rear-end, head-on, T-bone, and rollover crashes
- Motorcycle collisions, including fatal motorcycle accidents
- Rideshare and commercial vehicle accidents
- Drunk driving accidents and distracted driving crashes
- Hit-and-run and uninsured motorist claims
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents involving a motor vehicle
- Catastrophic injury cases, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and preventable amputations
- Fatal car accidents requiring a wrongful death claim
If your client suffered a serious injury and you’re not in a position to handle the litigation yourself, we encourage you to reach out before the case file goes cold. Early intervention often makes a meaningful difference in the outcome.
Notable Motor Vehicle Accident Verdicts and Settlements
Attorneys who refer car accident cases to Lipton Law do so knowing our trial record speaks for itself. A few examples of results our team has secured in motor vehicle cases include:

- $1 million settlement (policy limits) for a pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle

These results reflect the kind of outcome a referred client can expect when their case is placed with a firm that has the trial experience and resources to take on insurance companies and corporate defendants. You can view a full list of our results on our Verdicts and Settlements page.

How Lipton Law Handles Attorney Referral Fees
Our Michigan personal injury lawyers honor referral fees for every case we accept, and we don’t make referring attorneys chase us down to confirm the fee. As soon as we’re retained by your client, we document the referral relationship and the fee arrangement in writing, consistent with Michigan’s ethics rules governing fee-splitting between lawyers.
Under MRPC 1.5(e), Michigan does not require a referring attorney to actively work on the case to earn a referral fee: only that the client is advised of the arrangement, does not object, and that the total fee charged remains reasonable. We build this disclosure and consent into our standard retainer agreement so there’s no ambiguity later about who is owed what.
We also track every referral internally from the moment the file comes in, so there’s never a question about who sent us the case, even if your client calls our office directly. If that happens, simply make sure your client mentions your name as the referring attorney, and we’ll take it from there.
How to Refer a Car Accident Case to Our Firm
Sending us a referral is straightforward:
- Call us at 248-557-1688 to speak with one of our attorneys about the case before making the referral official.
- Email liptonreferral@liptonlaw.com with the case details so our team can evaluate it promptly.
- Have your client contact us directly and let them know to mention your name as the referring attorney.
We’ll review the case, confirm whether we’re the right fit, and keep you in the loop on the referral’s status. Our goal is to make this process as simple as possible for both you and your client.
