Michigan's Top Back Injury Attorneys

The personal injury lawyers at Michigan Auto Law have had unmatched success in achieving the highest settlements and verdicts for Michigan back injury cases. These include verdicts of over $1 million on a "soft-tissue" back injury with a defense offer of $10,000 and a verdict of over $625,000 for a herniated disc without surgery with a defense offer of $100,000. No other personal injury law firm or personal injury lawyer in Michigan has matched the successful settlements and verdicts of Michigan Auto Law.

LAWRENCE E. GURSTEN

"One of the most well-known auto negligence attorneys in Michigan, if not the country. He heads Michigan's largest law firm that completely specializes in serious automobile accidents." This is the opinion of our state's leading newspaper for attorneys, the Michigan Lawyers Weekly. According to the Weekly's front page story about him, Larry is "blazing the trail for Michigan lawyers."

Larry, an auto accident and personal injury attorney, began his career by attaining the highest score on the Michigan Bar Exam. He has spent his career helping injured-innocent victims against the powerful insurance companies.

Larry was the only attorney in the State of Michigan to speak to the Michigan Trial Lawyers Association at one of its conventions on "Understanding the Auto No-Fault Law." Larry has been the moderator and speaker of an entire seminar on Closed Head Injuries and the Auto No-Fault Law. Larry has also spoken to the Michigan Legislature on the Auto No-Fault Law. He has lectured extensively at seminars and conventions of the Michigan Trial Lawyers Association on Damages in Head, Neck and Back Injury Cases as a conscientious personal injury lawyer.

Larry has appeared on television and in print discussing automobile insurance and the Auto No-Fault Law.
