Detroit Car Accident Lawyer

When you’re in serious accident, your life changes in an instant. Our Detroit car accident lawyers understand how it affects more parts of your daily life than most people think it would. We’ve helped thousands of clients through this difficult time, and we would like to help you, too. We know how a car accident can affect you and your loved ones: suddenly, you need to negotiate medical care, time away from work and lost income, and new challenges in tasks that were once routine. 

Soon after the accident, it’s important to also start thinking about whether you have a legal case. You might feel nervous about speaking to insurance company representatives. You should be. Having dependable legal guidance as early as possible after your accident is essential. Knowing you have an experienced attorney by your side will put your mind at ease so you can focus on healing. Our Detroit car accident lawyers at Goodman Acker have a track record of success when it comes to representing car accident victims. We are successful in 99% of these cases. If you’ve been injured in a crash, let us do the legal heavy lifting while you focus on getting better.

Barry J. Goodman is more than just a Detroit personal injury attorney; he’s a dedicated advocate committed to ensuring equal access to justice. With a career spanning decades, Goodman has tirelessly fought to keep courthouse doors open for victims seeking recompense. Inspired by his father’s own struggle for justice after a work-related accident, Goodman’s passion for law was ignited from a young age.

Graduating with honors from Stetson University College of Law in 1977, Goodman blazed a career path driven by a profound sense of purpose. He sharpened his skills in Florida before rooting in Michigan, where he co-founded his own practice alongside like-minded attorney Gerald H. Acker in 1993. 

Throughout his illustrious career, Goodman has been instrumental in securing substantial settlements for his clients. Notably, in 2001, he achieved a landmark $14.5-million arbitration award for a client injured by a faulty manhole cover—an outcome emblematic of his dedication to justice. 

Beyond the courtroom, Goodman has been deeply involved in politics, supporting candidates who champion civil justice reform. His contributions extend to various Democratic campaigns, including those of Governor Granholm, Senator Debbie Stabenow, Congressman Gary Peters, and President Joe Biden, among others. He’s also been an active delegate to multiple Democratic National Conventions and currently holds a position on the Resolutions Committee of the Democratic National Committee as the Vice-Chair of the Midwest Caucus.
