Counsel You Can Trust
“Every case deserves to be understood at its core. I focus on details, the facts and the preparation required to present the case in the strongest possible light.”
Do I Have a Case?
Speaking with a motor vehicle accident attorney in Michigan can help determine if you have a case. Some of the most common negligent mistakes Michigan drivers make are failing to obey the rules of the road by speeding, failing to stop, failing to yield, or making an illegal turn.
If your injury causes pain or physical restrictions that have affected your ability to perform work tasks and/or take care of things at home, or has affected your income, our team can help you get compensated for lost wages, pain & suffering, and medical bills.
In most motor vehicle crashes, Michigan requires that your claim be filed within three years of the crash. However, some claims, especially involving city buses, have much shorter notice statutes of limitations. Some are as short as 60 days.
Documentation from your doctors and medical professionals are critical to proving the injuries and damages in your claim. These records include physical therapy reports, x-rays or MRIs, and surgical reports.
Case Spotlight
Family Loses Father to Police Cruiser Accident
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.
