  As personal injury lawyers, we feel privileged to help everyday people – folks who are often exploited, misunderstood, victimized, or are generally underserved. Specifically, we’ve made it our life’s work to help victims – people who’ve been injured in car accidents, at unsafe workplaces, through medical malpractice, or who’ve been harmed by negligent property owners in such incidents as slip-and-fall accidents. As such,...

  We probably don’t have to tell you that snow-covered roads, slick sidewalks, slushy mall entrances, and slippery parking lots are on the horizon at this time of year. And with all those treacherous hazards, it’s likely we’ll soon be hearing sirens and seeing ambulances carrying injured Michiganders to clinics and hospitals across the state. So this...
