Injured in an accident?

Michigan changed an important crash-record access route in 2026. State Police now directs Traffic Crash Purchasing System access through MiLogin, and its guidance explains that accounts from the previous system do not simply transfer. Use the current official page rather than an old bookmark when a login fails. The page also identifies the search details needed to locate a submitted crash report; other investigative material may require a separate records request. Workplace injuries follow the Workers' Disability Compensation Agency's employee resources, including different forms for reporting a claim and seeking mediation or a hearing. MiCOURT is a separate court-information service for participating courts and available case types, with the court of record remaining the source for official records. Keep each system's reference and purpose distinct. For a car or truck crash, record the investigating agency as well as the report number. For a fall or concern about medical care, preserve property communications and provider requests independently. A dated list of received files, pending requests and unavailable items makes a more useful review packet than a collection of unlabeled screenshots.

The official place inventory contains 1,985 geographic entries in Michigan. It includes small incorporated places and census-designated communities. A directory entry identifies a place and its statewide resource route; it does not claim that an attorney or office is based there.

A traffic report, an employer incident report, a property owner’s report and a medical record are different documents. Start with the organization that created the record. Do not assume a statewide agency holds every local file.
- Car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian and bicycle collisions: identify the responding law-enforcement agency and report number.
- Slip, trip and fall incidents: retain the exact property location and any report made to the owner or manager.
- Work-related injuries: keep the employer notice and claim correspondence separate from a safety complaint.
- Medical care concerns: list providers and treatment dates so records requests go to the correct custodian.
Before discussing your injury inquiry
Write a short timeline, preserve original documents and identify gaps rather than filling them with guesses. A government record is information, not a promise that a legal claim exists. Ask a lawyer licensed in the appropriate state about deadlines, who may bring a claim and whether the facts support representation. The office that maintains a record cannot choose your legal strategy.
