Steven M. Gursten was featured as a motorcycle attorney source in the Detroit Free Press. Gursten discussed the Michigan motorcycle helmet repeal and its dire consequences for motorcyclists and taxpayers.

As said in the Free Press: “It’s a terrible law,” said Steven Gursten, a Farmington Hills attorney who specializes in auto accident cases. “More people are going to die, more people are going to be catastrophically injured, it’s going to cost taxpayers a lot more, and there’s absolutely no reason for it.”

Given the mandatory increase in the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association (MCCA) assessment for all Michigan drivers, and that the insurance industry in Michigan is aiming to simultaneously cut vital No-Fault insurance benefits with proposed “reform” laws, Steven Gursten wrote an opinion letter to Michigan Lawyers Weekly.

Gursten is calling for more transparency from the MCCA regarding it’s profits and what it charges Michigan drivers.

Said Gursten: “In light of the factual discrepancies over the data used by the Michigan insurance industry to support its efforts of taking away vital no-fault protections as part of its no-fault “reform,” while at the exact same time making unreasonably high profits in this state, there has never been a greater need for transparency into the pricing decisions of the MCCA.”
