The Michigan Department of Transportation, the County Sheriff, and a Service Station were sued because of a serious traffic accident. Our client was a passenger in a sheriff vehicle that spun out in a rainstorm. Internet discovery of Dept. of Transportation engineering data showed the road surface was dangerously worn. Investigation of the vehicle’s maintenance records of the service station showed bad tires were installed shortly before the crash. Read More

The client was walking with her husband when a fishing boat trailer broke loose and struck her hip. The insurer argued the client’s injuries were not serious because she was age 67 and retired. We showed that the client’s retirement years are “the golden years” and an injury at that time of life has even worse consequences. Read More

Before suit was filed, we created a memorial video of the client’s life and convinced the insurance company to settle. Read More

A local business-woman suffered soft tissue (muscle and ligament) injuries when her vehicle was struck head on by a drunk driver. She was unable to work full-time, and she lost some cherished sports activities. We won the trial, then filed suit against the client’s insurance company to collect the award from UM/UIM coverage. (Note, we also obtained a “first party” settlement of $35,000 for physical therapy benefits, in a separate lawsuit.) Read More

The employer and insurance company fought the claim. We won a $750,000 arbitration award. The insurance company filed an appeal to overturn the award. We won $1.2 million — for a severely broken wrist. Read More

A careless driver turned left, and killed an allegedly “homeless” woman. Law enforcement did not ticket the driver for political reasons. We proved the local politics, and we proved the woman’s family loved her. See our creative demonstration of the scene of the accident. Read More
