Personal Injury Lawyers in Grand Blanc, MI
When an unexpected injury occurs, whether from a motor vehicle collision, a fall on unsafe property, a construction incident, a boating accident on Michigan waters, or another preventable event, the legal and financial consequences can add significant stress during recovery. Our role is to investigate the facts, communicate with insurance companies, and pursue the compensation available under Michigan law so clients can focus on healing.
Our Connection to Grand Blanc and Genesee County
Edwin W. Jakeway began practicing law in 1961 and established the firm in 1971. His sons, Craig E. Jakeway and Morgan H. Jakeway, joined in 1994. All three attorneys are natives of the Flint area and have deep ties to the local community. The firm is AV-rated by Martindale-Hubbell (the highest rating for legal ability and ethical standards) and maintains an active presence through bar associations and community involvement.
We are not a high-volume, advertising-driven firm. Cases receive direct attorney attention from start to finish. The majority of our new clients come through referrals from people we have previously represented.

Detailed information on each practice area is available on our site and is linked above; we encourage you to review the specific pages that match your situation and then contact us to discuss the facts of your case.
Why Local Experience Matters in Grand Blanc
Genesee County roads, local construction activity, seasonal boating on area lakes and rivers, and commercial properties all create distinct injury patterns. An attorney who understands Michigan No-Fault insurance, local court practices, and the practical realities of recovering from injury in this region can more effectively gather evidence, work with treating providers, and evaluate settlement versus litigation options.
Our personal injury lawyers bring decades of combined trial and appellate experience at the state and federal levels to these matters.
Results and Approach (Not a Guarantee of Future Outcomes)
Every case is unique. Past results do not predict or guarantee future results. Representative matters the firm has handled include recoveries for closed-head injuries, spinal cord injuries, workplace and boating injuries, and wrongful death claims.
Examples of our case results include figures such as $5.1 million (closed head injury), $1.112 million (spinal cord injury involving an automotive manufacturer), and other significant recoveries. These reflect the seriousness of the cases we accept and the resources we devote to investigation, including private investigators and full-time research support when needed.
We prioritize clear communication. Clients consistently note that they speak directly with their attorney and receive timely updates.

Frequently Asked Questions – Personal Injury Representation in Grand Blanc and Genesee County
What types of personal injury cases does Jakeway Injury Law handle for clients in Grand Blanc?
What is Michigan No-Fault insurance, and how does your firm handle those benefits?
After a motor vehicle accident in Michigan, you may be entitled to No-Fault benefits that cover medical expenses, wage loss, and attendant care regardless of who caused the crash. In many situations, we help clients obtain these benefits at no charge to them unless a lawsuit becomes necessary. We do not believe attorneys should take a percentage of No-Fault benefits that the insurance company is already obligated to pay when the claim is straightforward.
How much does it cost to hire Jakeway Injury Law?
We handle personal injury and wrongful death cases on a contingency-fee basis. This means you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. There is no retainer or upfront cost for the investigation or handling of your claim. Our fees are paid from the recovery according to a clear percentage agreed upon at the start of representation. There are no hidden costs.
Will my case go to trial?
What is my case worth?
During your free consultation, we can discuss the specific circumstances of your situation and explain the types of damages that may be available under Michigan law. Past results do not predict or guarantee future outcomes.
Will I speak directly with an attorney?
Yes. When you call Jakeway Injury Law, you will speak with one of the Jakeway attorneys, Edwin, Craig, or Morgan. We are not a high-volume firm that hands cases off to paralegals or junior associates for day-to-day handling. You receive direct attorney attention throughout the process.
