Plaggemeyer v. Lee shows why Michigan needs a new auto law now
Michigan Lawyers Weekly features car accident lawyer’s letter to the editor on bad case law
Michigan Lawyers Weekly features Steve Gursten’s viewpoint article on Michigan Court of Appeals case Plaggemeyer v. Lee; where the car accident victim sustained severe personal injuries, yet had his lawsuit thrown out of court.
Gursten points out the problems with Plaggemeyer, and how it serves as yet another example of how Michigan’s car accident threshold law has lost its common sense and reason.
Here’s Steve Gursten’s editorial in Michigan Lawyers Weekly: ‘Plaggeymeyer’ shows why Michigan needs new auto law now

Why Johnson v. Wausau encourages insurance adjusters in Michigan to lie about No-Fault benefits
Auto lawyer Steve Gursten writes a rebuttal opinion editorial in the Detroit Legal News about a Michigan Court of Appeals case that denied attendant care benefits to a child with traumatic brain injury
Who’s the Michigan Court of Appeals protecting? A dishonest auto insurance company, or a baby with traumatic brain injury? Auto attorney Steve Gursten discusses a Michigan Court of Appeals ruling which denied a child who was seriously injured in a car accident attendant care benefits, even though her insurance company lied to her caregiver by insisting there were no more No-Fault benefits available.
The Court’s reasoning was that any accident victim should check out the accuracy of everything an insurance claims adjuster says by consulting with an attorney. Now Gursten responds to a lawyer who disagrees with his first editorial, Decision allows No-Fault insurers to get away with lying.
