Auto Accident

Our client was stopped at a red light in her SUV when she was suddenly rear-ended by a truck. While the impact occurred at a low speed and resulted in what appeared to be minor vehicle damage, the collision had a devastating effect on her health. The force of the impact caused a serious aggravation of a pre-existing herniated disc, which ultimately required her to undergo extensive spinal surgery. This life-changing injury left her unable to return to her job and facing a future of chronic pain and uncertainty. The defense attorney and the insurance company fought the claim aggressively, arguing the low-impact nature of the crash could not have caused such a severe injury. Our firm meticulously built a case to prove causation, working with medical experts to demonstrate precisely how the mechanics of the crash exacerbated her underlying condition.

ATV Accident

Our client, a woman sunbathing near the shore of a Metro Detroit beach, was run over by a commercial ATV. Our investigation revealed a shocking disregard for safety: the company had illegally modified the ATV, adding a custom-built wooden rack that completely obstructed the driver’s forward visibility. The person operating this dangerous machine was a 17-year-old employee with no formal training, who admitted he’d never even read the ATV’s operating manual. This blatant recklessness constituted negligent entrustment. The victim suffered a head injury and lost consciousness.

Slip and Fall Accident

Our client slipped and fell on black ice at the entrance of a commercial building in Michigan. The property owner had failed to salt, shovel, or remove the hazard for days-putting every visitor at risk. Our legal team secured Ring Doorbell surveillance footage proving that the dangerous icy condition existed for at least 48 hours before the incident. The fall caused a right elbow fracture, which required surgical internal fixation with hardware placement. Our client endured a painful recovery, permanent loss of range of motion, and scarring at the surgical site.

Premises Liability

Our client was at a Detroit bar when he was falsely accused of misconduct by an employee. A bouncer violently assaulted our client and threw him out of the establishment, causing a serious closed head injury. This was a clear case of excessive force and negligent security, which falls under premises liability law. Our investigation revealed that the bouncer acted without justification and that the bar had failed to properly train or supervise its staff on the lawful use of force. We built a powerful case demonstrating the bar’s failure to maintain a safe environment for its patrons.

Auto Accident

Our client was driving on M-59 in Oakland County, Michigan, when a deer darted across the highway. The unavoidable collision caused a violent impact, resulting in serious injuries. Despite clear coverage under Michigan’s no-fault law, State Automobile Insurance Company denied PIP benefits after sending our client to a one-time Independent Medical Examination (IME). The insurer relied on a biased and incomplete IME report to claim that our client didn’t need further treatment. We pushed back hard-exposing the doctor’s flawed opinion and presenting compelling medical evidence and expert support. We fought tirelessly to prove that our client’s injuries were real, serious, and directly related to the crash.

Wrongful Death

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.
