Auto Cases Ensure Lifetime Care
Under Michigan law, a person injured in an automobile accident is entitled to two types of benefits. Regardless of fault, benefits are paid for, among other things, the reasonable care, treatment and services necessitated from a Michigan motor vehicle accident. The injured person can also get money for pain and suffering if the other party was negligent and caused a serious impairment of bodily function.
Brad Harris and Steven E. Goren worked together to obtain a large settlement for pain and suffering, and a lifetime of attendant care for a child born prematurely with cerebral palsy two months after an auto accident injured his pregnant mother.
Causation was hotly contested by the negligent driver, who hired an internationally renowned physician, who testified that the child’s injuries were unrelated to the auto accident weeks earlier. We hired an equally esteemed physician, with similar credentials, who held the opposite opinion. Ultimately, the claim was settled, with our client receiving most of Defendant’s sizeable insurance policy. We also obtained a high hourly rate for daily care for the services the boy’s mother and father had to provide to him at home each day. This was especially important for the parents, who had both given up their jobs and devoted themselves to caring for their disabled son 24 hours per day.
At Goren, Goren & Harris, we find the most rewarding part of our job helping loving families overcome economic hurdles to go on with their lives. Our job is to make insurance companies pay the money they have promised to pay, but fight to hold onto. This case was one our firm was especially proud of.
