Case Spotlight
Our clients, husband and wife, were hit by a police cruiser going at a high rate of speed without lights or sirens. Their car was T-boned on the driver’s side, thereby causing serious injuries to the husband, who later died. After the accident, police hid evidence and then in litigation made low ball settlement offers, arguing the husband was the cause of the crash. Experienced trial attorney, Bob Giroux and his experience with these types of tactics and trial work, paid off and after a hard fought trial, the Torpey family received the justice they were looking for. The jury found the officer totally at fault and awarded Mrs. Torpey a substantial sum of money.

This can be as simple as proving that they did not follow the established Michigan traffic laws or can be more complex and requires experienced Michigan motor vehicle accident lawyers to obtain police reports, electronic downloads of vehicle data, and more.

At Giroux Pappas Trial Attorneys, we work on a contingency fee basis, which is a common payment model for personal injury lawyers in Michigan. This means you do not pay anything up front. Instead, the contingency fee is based upon a percentage of the settlement or verdict, but only if we successfully recover compensation for your injuries.
