Practice Areas
Personal Injury Law
At Allaben & Bandeen Attorneys at Law, we specialize in personal injury law. If you have been hurt due to a business owner or homeowner’s negligence, you are qualified to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. This includes slip and fall accidents, dog bites, car accidents, and more.
Wrongful Death
Unfortunately, wrongful deaths occur in situations where they could have been avoided. Due to a homeowner, business owner, or driver’s negligence, an accidental death could take place. Cases such as this are understandably emotional and heavy for the families and friends of the victim. It’s never a situation you thought you would be in.
We will take the time to listen to your concerns to create an outcome that is favorable for those left behind. When a life is taken, justice is merited for the family, friends, and community that were affected. It’s also imperative to create change so that another avoidable death doesn’t occur. Our attorneys will work tirelessly to achieve justice and compensation for the victim’s death.
Worker’s Compensation
Worker’s compensation protects employees from unsafe working conditions. Every industry has safety measures and regulations in place that need to be abided by. Riskier professions such as construction work and trucking have additional safety measures. However, sometimes the employers fall short and an employee could be injured or killed.
The Michigan Worker’s Disability Compensation Act governs worker’s compensation in the state. Due to the many revisions the act has undergone over the years, it has become more difficult for injured employees to pursue worker’s compensation claims. If you want to stand a chance in a worker’s comp situation, you need an experienced attorney on your side. Our team knows the ins and outs of the law and will provide you with your best chance at winning the compensation you deserve.
Auto Accidents
Auto accidents are a common occurrence that can result in serious injuries, property damage, and even loss of life. Factors such as distracted driving, speeding, and intoxicated driving contribute to the high rate of accidents on the road. In the event of an auto accident, it is necessary to stay calm, check for injuries, and contact emergency services. After that, you need to contact Allaben & Bandeen Attorney’s at Law for representation. Seeking legal advice from a professional can help navigate insurance claims and potential lawsuits following an auto accident.
Dog Bites
Dog bites can result in serious injuries and long-lasting physical and emotional trauma. Allaben & Bandeen Attorney’s at Law is committed to fighting for your safety after an attack. Injuries inflicted by dogs can potentially keep you from work or from caring for your family. If you or someone you know has been bitten by a dog, seek medical attention immediately to prevent infections and complications. Reporting the incident to the appropriate authorities can also help prevent future incidents and ensure that the dog is properly monitored or trained to prevent further bites.

Child Custody
Child custody is oftentimes the most difficult to maneuver for the parents and the child. It’s overwhelming and frightening for everyone. Custody is based on the “best interests of the child” standard. Our attorneys will work with you to help achieve a situation that is agreeable for all parties involved. We understand the sensitive nature of child custody cases. However, we have the experience to back us in order to help you reach a positive outcome.
