Auto accident lawyer debunks another insurance company scare tactic after the Michigan auto law changed

This is part two from yesterday’s blog on the Macomb Daily newspaper article.  In that interview, the insurance industry spokesperson threatened insurance rate increases after Sunday’s McCormick v. Carrier case, despite the record-breaking profits auto insurance companies in Michigan continue to garner.

McCormick v. Carrier is a Michigan Supreme Court case that overturned the controversial Kreiner v Fischer “serious impairment of body function” threshold case, returning important legal rights to potentially hundreds of Michigan car accident victims who were told they did not have a case under Kreiner. It involved a car accident with serious personal injuries that occurred in Flint, Michigan.

Auto accident attorney debunks the scare tactic used by insurance companies after Michigan’s auto law has changed

Yesterday morning, I woke up to find my picture on the front page of The Macomb Daily.  The article was based on an interview I had done on the new case of McCormick v. Carrier and the Michigan Supreme Court making it easier for the injured to collect compensation for car accidents. I spoke about how happy I was for Michigan auto accident victims who have suffered serious personal injuries, but have had their legal rights taken away. These people had their accident cases thrown out of court by the old harsh auto accident threshold law under Kreiner v. Fischer, before it was overturned Sunday night.

With new Michigan Supreme Court case McCormick v. Carrier, auto accident victims could have a second chance to bring pain and suffering lawsuits

If you are one of hundreds of Michigan residents who has been seriously hurt in a car accident that was not your fault, but you were still told you had “no case” by a Michigan lawyer because of the state’s difficult auto accident threshold law, your important legal rights have now been restored with the Michigan Supreme Court’s new auto law, McCormick v. Carrier.

New auto law promises hope and a second chance for hundreds of Michigan car accident victims who were told they did not have cases

Rodney McCormick v. Larry Carrier and Allied Automotive Group, Indemnitor of General Motors Corp. was released just before midnight on Sunday, August 1, 2010. Here are my initial thoughts on the impact this important Michigan Supreme Court case will have for car accident victims, the insurance industry, and Michigan personal injury lawyers - including auto lawyers who help accident victims and those who do insurance defense work on auto negligence claims.
