Injury Settlement Lawyer

This is a video of Heather, a car accident victim from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, who describes the traumatic and painful experience of being rear-ended in a crash so badly, that she needed emergency surgery on her neck. Heather discusses her experience with her law firm, Michigan Auto Law; http://www.michiganautolaw.com , and how her personal injury attorney Steven Gursten supported and protected her throughout the experience by obtaining a settlement large enough to provide for her care and pain and suffering; by communicating with her in a thorough, responsive and caring manner; and by holding her insurance company accountable for the No-Fault medical benefits she was owed in her lawsuit.

Here’s what Heather says: “I was stopped at a red light. And, out of nowhere, I was rear-ended at about 50 miles an hour. I needed to get a lawyer. I went to one of my close family friends, who happens to be a partner at one of the largest defense firms in the Detroit area. He told me that Steven Gursten was the best. My first impression of Michigan Auto Law was that everyone was very laid back, warm and friendly. I felt comfortable there right away. In my car accident, I broke my neck and damaged both my shoulders and my jaw; resulting in multiple surgeries to fuse my neck. I was ultimately fighting my own insurance company because the individual that hit me didn’t have good insurance. If it wasn’t for Steve, on the phone with them every single day, I sometimes wonder if I’d even be where I’m at right now. Not only did Steve answer my questions, but he answered all of my family’s questions and concerns. I’ve referred him to strangers already. I’m more than satisfied with the resolution of my case. Steve went out of his way to try to get to know you on a personal level, so he could fight for you, and your well-being, not just the case.”

This is a video of Ron, a Detroit resident who sustained traumatic brain injury ( http://www.michiganautolaw.com/injuries/tbi-attorney/definition.php ) when he was in a car accident. Ron discusses his feelings when considering whether he should hire a car accident lawyer ( http://www.michiganautolaw.com/firm_profile/find-best-lawyer.php ) following his crash. He also talks about how he was treated with respect, kindness and sincerity by Steve Gursten, auto accident attorney and partner of Michigan Auto Law — so much so, that his perspective on Michigan lawyers changed for the better.

Here’s what Ron says “I’m not the type that would look for a lawsuit. When this situation came about, I was a little nervous, uncomfortable; I didn’t really want to deal with law firms. So when we were referred to Mr. Steve Gursten (http://www.michiganautolaw.com/firm_profile/attorney-steven-gursten.php ), I was very happy with the outcome.

When we had questions and we gave Michigan Auto Law a call, they would respond right away. Anytime we had problems, questions, situations, they were there. They answered my questions regarding auto insurance, and even made a couple calls for me to have the process taken care of. It was just a wonderful experience throughout this difficult time in my life. I was very content with the law firm employees. I expected a lot from this law firm. They came through. I’m just happy with this law firm and proud of what they did.

They even gave me a different perspective of lawyers. I’m very satisfied with the outcome. I’m very happy with the relationship I have with Mr. Gursten and those who were helping him. As a matter of fact, I’ve already recommended Steve twice, and without a doubt, I will do so in the future.”

This is a video of Ruth, a Detroit mother who recounts the heartbreaking experience of losing her daughter in a wrongful death car accident in Michigan — on Christmas. Ruth discusses her experience with her law firm, Michigan Auto Law; http://www.michiganautolaw.com, and how her personal injury lawyer Steven Gursten supported and protected her throughout the experience by obtaining a settlement large enough to provide for her daughter’s children and by thoroughly communicating with her in a warm and responsive manner.

Here’s what Ruth says: “I was referred to the Gursten law firm through another attorney. After he found out that the case involved a little bit more than what his expertise was, that’s when he referred us to the Gursten law firm.

You know when you meet someone and you feel as if you’ve known this person all your life? That’s the feeling that I got from day one when I met Steve Gursten (partner of Michigan Auto Law). He would even ask you questions just to test to see if you really understood what he was saying. Each time I called the office, I always got a prompt return call. Even though I met him through a tragedy, he was an excellent lawyer. He was very informative, very respectful, and very, very knowledgeable.

Steve went above and beyond trying to get everything that he possibly could, which he did achieve under the circumstances. My daughter was fatally injured in an auto accident. She was the passenger. She never regained consciousness. And that was Christmas Eve of 2005 and she passed away Christmas Day. The settlement of this case will benefit my grandchildren Miles and Madison, who Miles is nine and Madison is seven. So we have a college scholarship fund set up for them.

(Steve Gursten) would be the first that I would refer any of my friends to if the need arised, and if anyone in my family needed him, he would be the first person. Even if it wasn’t a case that he could handle, I would call him for advice because I would have full confidence in anyone that Michigan Auto Law would refer; that my friends or my relatives would get the same respect, they would get the same intelligent lawyers that I dealt with when I was coming to this law firm.”

It sounds counter-intuitive, but the key to settling personal injury cases for more money is a car accident attorney’s ability try such cases in Michigan courts. This is according to Steven Gursten, partner of Michigan Auto Law (https://www.michiganautolaw.com), the leading and largest law firm in the state exclusively handling car accident, truck accident and motorcycle accident personal injury cases for more than 50 years.

In this video, Gursten explains how No-Fault insurance companies and defense lawyers know which car accident attorneys have outstanding trial records. This determines whether a personal injury victim will receive a fair settlement offer from the insurance company (that does not want to face a good car accident attorney in court) or a very low settlement offer. Gursten insists that people suffering personal injuries from car accidents must research their prospective attorney’s trial record — as it makes a huge difference between a mediocre settlement and an outstanding one.

What can you do after car or truck accident? You can call Michigan Auto Law at (800) 777-0028 to speak with a car accident attorney free of charge.

Here’s what Gursten has to say: “Hi I’m Steve Gursten, and this is my first tip on how to settle cases for more money for personal injury lawyers and car accident lawyers. This is taken from my seminar that I did for the Michigan Association for Justice in June 2010. The most important tip to settle cases for more money is that you have to try cases.

This is because some insurance companies will make very unreasonable settlement offers and play hardball because they want to see what a personal injury lawyer will do. With the computers and verdict reporting software that’s out there, it’s really easy for an insurance company or a trucking company to do a verdict search on a lawyer and a law firm, to find out about that lawyer’s reputation, and his willingness to take cases to trial. So they can find out pretty quickly if it’s been 15 years since that lawyer has tried a case. From that, the insurance companies know whether to play hardball, or whether they should settle faster and for more money. And if a lawyer doesn’t take cases to trial, or have a reputation for being willing to take cases to trial, that insurance company knows that it can always settle that case cheap.

So if you’re a client out there, and you’re researching a potential lawyer to represent you, the most important thing for you to know is really, a firm’s trial reputation. The insurance industry knows it. It’s really the key to getting a better settlement and a faster settlement. If the insurance company and the people on the other side already have that information, I guess the question is, “Shouldn’t you also?”"
