Mich. Supreme Court overturns Kreiner v. Fischer, making auto accident lawsuits more fair
Washington Examiner reports: Court says conservatives too strict in personal injury cases

Personal injury lawyer Steve Gursten, partner of Michigan Auto Law, is interviewed. “This is huge,” Gursten said. “The way Michigan law was changing, it was going to eliminate almost everyone who had been seriously injured in a car accident. That was not the intent of the Michigan Legislature.”
