Additional Notes

As a result of the above circumstances, it was unclear what insurance company would provide client’s statutory No-Fault benefits, and client could not even prove an accident had occurred. Client was given my contact info from a friend who we had represented previously but elected to retain a well-known law firm, that saturates local TV with its commercials depicting the advantage of their caring, client-oriented, nature. Unfortunately, it did not work out that way for the client, and after 3 months, and no developments whatsoever, he received correspondence from the law firm indicating that they were dropping his case. Client came to us after, and during my interview, he was surprised to be talking with a lawyer. Indicating that during the months the “big name” firm represented him, he never once spoke with a lawyer? He also informed me that after being notified they were dropping his case, he had called that firm to ask them why? According to the client, he spoke with a paralegal from that law firm, who told him that she did not believe he was entitled to receive MI no-fault benefits, and that any potential pain and suffering claim he has, would be dramatically impacted by his pre-existing conditions? So, in short, client was told that it was going to be difficult for the firm to obtain no-fault benefits for him and that since the dollar value of his pain & suffering claim was going too low, it literally was not worth the hassle of representing him? I find that appalling! We got right to work, and within 72 hours we had him the claim necessary claim information for his medical providers to render treatment. Ultimately, we resolved his claims for a total of $420,000.00, including a pain and suffering claim for over $170,000.00! Considering the fact that the big-name firm dropped the case because it did not believe it was worth it to take!!
