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.

Michigan Lawyers Weekly blog reveals exactly where Justice Young’s exorbitant campaign contributions come from

I’d like to share the following blog from Michigan Lawyers Weekly with my readers and my fellow personal injury attorneys. This blog states clearly Young’s priorities. It foreshadows what lies ahead if Justice Young is re-elected to another term on the Michigan Supreme Court.

“Justice Robert P. Young Jr. has raised more money than his three closest contenders combined in the Michigan Supreme Court race.

According to the Michigan Campaign Finance Network, Young, a Republican, has raised some $514,000, with newly named candidate Justice Alton T. Davis a distant second with $194,000.

Partisan, wildly activist, rabidly pro-insurance and anti-consumer defines Justice Young’s record on Court

Shouldn’t Justice Robert P. Young, Jr. be the anti-Tea Party candidate for the Michigan Supreme Court this November? Then how ironic that Justice Robert Young is now attempting to portray himself as standing for the principles of the Tea Party movement, in an effort to pander votes before the upcoming election.

No-fault insurance lawyer adds two new members to his Shame List

I haven’t updated my shame list in a while. Here are two deserving new additions that Michigan drivers and car accident victims should be aware of.

Michigan Supreme Court ex-Justice Clifford Taylor

Ex-Justice Taylor’s reign on the Michigan Supreme Court will be remembered more for the way that four extreme justices (derisively called the “gang of four” by Justice Elizabeth Weaver), put politics before precedent, stare decisis and the rule of law. Insurance companies in Michigan won big and auto accident victims got hammered.

Personal injury lawyer Steven Gursten teaches what McCormick v. Carrier means for accident victims and lawyers at Michigan Association for Justice legal seminar in Southfield

Michigan has an important new auto accident law that will result in enormous changes in the months ahead for car accident victims, personal injury lawyers for both the plaintiff and defense of these accident claims, and the auto insurance companies in this state. The new law was released by the Michigan Supreme Court on August 1, 2010, and the case is McCormick v. Carrier.

Michigan Auto Law thanks Justice Elizabeth Weaver for her dedication, service to Michigan

A momentous sea change has just occurred on the Michigan Supreme Court.

Michigan Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Weaver resigned. And a short time later, Gov. Jennifer Granholm appointed Michigan Court of Appeals Judge Alton Davis to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court.

Justice Weaver was an excellent justice.  A Republican from Northern Michigan, she stood up for the integrity of the Court. This caused her to come increasingly into conflict with the three remaining arch-conservative and activist justices – Young, Markman and Corrigan.

Personal injury attorney says Traverse City newspaper article puts Michigan Supreme Court partisan judges in their place

The Traverse City Record-Eagle ran an editorial the other day that I wish could be required reading for every Michigan voter.  Because behind the auto insurance company propaganda campaign threatening to raise insurance rates after the McCormick v. Carrier decision last week, there lies a simple truth that has been ignored by almost every newspaper in Michigan.

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.

Check out Michigan Auto Law’s video on why you may have a car accident case now:

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.

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 under Kreiner v. Fischer.
