I’d like to share a testimonial from one of my clients, Cheryl Verdun. Cheryl and her husband Bob live in Taylor, Michigan. Cheryl was rear-ended in a car accident, and injured badly.
In her video, Cheryl discusses her experiences after her crash, dealing with her personal injuries and how her attorneys here were able to support and protect her. She also discusses her car accident settlement, which was able to provide for her after her injuries.
Personal injury lawyer stresses that Young consistently voted against accident victims and puts special interest before the safety of Michigan families
Justice Robert P. Young, Jr., who is running in November for reelection to another 8-year term on the Michigan Supreme Court, votes against personal injury victims more than three times as much as he votes for them, according to research conducted by our personal injury lawyers.
During his 11 years on the Michigan Supreme Court, Young, a Republican who was appointed to the court by former Republican Governor John M. Engler, participated in 237 published opinions involving personal injury lawsuits.
Attorneys Steve Gursten and Brandon Hewitt will give advice to Wayne State University Law School students on careers as personal injury lawyers
There’s so much to know when starting out as a personal injury lawyer. How do you get a foot in the door? How can you prove yourself? Where do you get your first job as an attorney?
Auto accident attorney interprets Michigan’s new auto law, which could give hundreds of car accident victims with serious personal injuries a second chance to have their pain and suffering cases heard in court
I’d like to share the exciting news. Sometime between now and Sunday, the Michigan Supreme Court will release McCormick v. Carrier (Rodney McCormick v. Larry Carrier and Allied Automotive Group, Indemnitor of General Motors Corp.).
McCormick is the case that Michigan auto accident victims, lawyers on both sides and almost all trial court judges have been hoping will finally reverse the shocking unfairness that has resulted underKreiner v. Fischer.
Bill 5744 would change ‘open and obvious’ defense to better protect Michigan residents
How bad is Michigan’s “open and obvious” premises liability law? So bad that in one fell swoop in 2002, it wiped out over 65 years of human factors science. Our “open and obvious” law essentially wipes out slip and fall cases. The Michigan Supreme Court declared that no typical person could ever blame the premises owner for falling in a pothole or on a sidewalk, if he or she were able to see the hazard.
House of Representatives passed HB 4747 allowing bikers to ride without helmets - despite warning from experienced motorcycle accident attorneys
The Michigan House of Representatives last night passed HB 4747, which would allow motorcyclists to ride without protective helmets. As a motorcycle accident attorney for the past 16 years, I feel adamantly that this is a terrible idea.
Although I am close with many bikers who believe the helmet debate is about individual rights and liberty, I have a different perspective. The truth is, most motorcycle accident victims that I’ve helped have suffered very serious, sometimes catastrophic injuries. And most of these motorcycle accidents result in traumatic brain injuries.
Any lawyer who assumes a commercial truck accident case is simply a “car wreck” case with bigger policy limits is bound to commit legal malpractice. In trucking cases, the federal government imposes hundreds of regulations that essentially, create theories of strict liability against the truck driver and the trucking company.
Without knowledge of these regulations, a lawyer cannot possibly recover top value for his clients after a serious truck accident case.
Michigan TBI lawyer says ERs and doctors frequently miss head injuries, lists signs so you can protect yourself
It’s a sobering fact: Emergency rooms will miss up to 85 percent of traumatic brain injuries after a person has been in a car accident. Our TBI lawyers have witnessed cases where a catastrophically brain-injured person literally walked away after a car crash, without even an ambulance or ER visit, only to become permanently disabled with a brain injury.
Michigan Car Accident Lawyer Says Unlimited Corporate Spending on Elections Will Corrupt Democracy
The recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that allows unlimited corporate political spending on elections is so dangerous that I cannot resist sharing my political views on the topic. I’m just a civil justice lawyer. But since I only help people in catastrophic accidents such as very serious car accidents and truck accidents, what the conservative judges did is very alarming.
The reasoning of this decision is inherently flawed and the consequences are detrimental to the public good.
Medical, consumer and legal groups also say McCormick v. Carrier shows why Kreiner v. Fischer is wrongly decided
To follow-up on a recent blog on my own impressions of the Michigan Supreme Court hearing on McCormick v. Carrier (Rodney McCormick v. Larry Carrier and Allied Automotive Group, Indemnitor of General Motors Corp.), I’d like to run a comment by C-PAN regarding the McCormick case and why Kreiner v. Fischer is wrongly decided. CPAN, the Coalition Protecting Auto No-Fault, is a Lansing-based, bi-partisan organization of medical, consumer and legal groups.
