Case Details
Our client, a 71-year-old man, was driving home from a doctor’s appointment in Southeast Michigan. As he lawfully entered an intersection on a green light, an ambulance sped through its red light and violently T-boned his vehicle. The ambulance company’s driver claimed they had activated lights and sirens. Our rapid and thorough investigation located a crucial eyewitness who confirmed the ambulance driver never slowed down or made any attempt to ensure the intersection was clear before proceeding-a clear violation of Michigan law and emergency vehicle protocol, constituting gross negligence. The victim suffered catastrophic blunt force trauma to his head and chest and died at the scene. Our team retrieved the ambulance’s “black box” data, which corroborated the witness account.
Additional Notes
Recovery provides a measure of financial justice for the victim’s grieving family for their profound loss. In a separate, hard-fought case, we also compelled Nationwide Insurance to pay the maximum statutory survivor’s loss benefits available under the victim’s Michigan No-Fault policy.
