Robert M. Raitt
Bob, currently one of our Michigan auto accident attorneys, has received a jury verdict in a case in Wayne Circuit Court for over one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000). This included past, present, and future pain and suffering, medical expenses and interest. The defendant offered nothing prior to the jury trial. The jury verdict was obtained for a seventy two (72) year old woman who suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and walked with crutches since age eleven.
The case involved a claim against a door company, when sliding doors closed on her and caused her to fall to the ground as she was exiting the store. She suffered a back injury with a terrible recovery hampered by her pre-existing condition.
Bob graduated with honors from both the University of Michigan and Wayne State Law School. While in law school, Bob received a prestigious award for "Best Overall Performance as an Oralist and Brief Writer". He now serves on the Michigan Trial Lawyers Association Executive Board and has been a moderator and speaker at the Michigan State Bar Convention Seminar on preparation and procedures.
