Michigan Truck Accident Blog

At the Law Offices of Sam Bernstein, we work hard for every one of our Michigan personal injury clients, because we understand that a bad car or truck accident victim’s life.

For example, we recently helped a young woman who spent several years training for highly-skilled work that requires rock-steady hands. She called us after an auto accident that changed her future.

The terrible motor vehicle accident happened on her vacation. She was riding along when another driver blew a stop sign, plowed into our client’s car, and rolled it into the next lane. The emergency medical crew needed the “jaws of life” just to get her out of her crushed vehicle.

It’s a miracle our client survived the car accident - but her life will never be the same. The motor vehicle accident permanently damaged her shoulder and arm. Despite all kinds of medical tests, treatments, several surgeries, therapy, and rehabilitation, the doctors could not restore full use of the hand she needed for the precision tasks of her chosen profession.

It was so unfair.

This nice lady deserved justice - and we were going to make sure she got it. At first, the reckless automobile driver and his insurance companies tried giving us the run around. They should have known better.

Our highly-experienced car and truck accident attorneys got right to work, collected the relevant evidence, and analyzed all the motor vehicle accident reports and medical records, to prepare the strongest possible case for our client.

Then came the accident settlement negotiations. The defense lawyers tried undervaluing our client’s motor vehicle accident case. No way were we going to let them get away with that.

Finally, the defense lawyers realized that we would not give up. They agreed to settle for a very substantial amount — enough to cover our client’s medical costs, pain and suffering, as well as the future wages that our client did not have the chance to earn because she lost the effective use of her hands.

Although we could not give our badly injured client back her old life, we did get her enough compensation to support herself, get whatever medical and other help she needs, and perhaps train for a new profession.

In other words, our personal injury client has the financial security she needs. It feels good to know that we made a difference in our client’s future.
