Michigan Car Accident Robs Senior Citizen of Independence

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

At age 84, Mrs. James was remarkably independent. She took care of herself, helped around the house, and walked for exercise almost every day. Mrs. James really enjoyed spending time with family and friends, and had been active in the same church for as long as she could remember.

In short, she was living her twilight years in peace and relative comfort. But this all changed the day of a Michigan auto accident, caused by a careless driver who ran a red light and struck Mrs. James’ car.

Elderly people can be very fragile, and Mrs. James was no exception.

The Michigan car accident fractured her hip bone and resulted in hip replacement surgery. Sadly, the injury and subsequent surgery were very hard on Mrs. James, and left her an altogether different person than she was before the Michigan auto accident.

Now, she can now do almost nothing by herself. Mrs. James needs help just getting out of bed, taking a shower, getting dressed, and eating. She is wheelchair bound and leaves home only to go to medical appointments. Since the day of the Michigan car accident, Mrs. James has been unable to attend church or go out to visit family and friends.

We are honored by the confidence that Mrs. James and her family showed in us, when they asked us to pursue her Michigan auto accident claims. She is a fine lady who deserves all the help that she can get. You can be sure that our experienced Michigan auto accident attorneys are working very hard to protect this innocent car accident victim’s legal rights.

Michigan Car Accident Ends in Tragedy – Bernstein Auto Accident Attorneys Help Survivor

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

When tragedy strikes, our Michigan auto accident lawyers are here to help.

Dave, a teenage client, was in a Michigan car accident caused by a reckless driver. Dave suffered awful injuries in the accident. But if that wasn’t bad enough, the car crash killed a friend who was riding in Dave’s car.

No teenager — or anyone else — should have to go through what happened to our client. As a result of that Michigan car accident, Dave has to cope with serious physical injuries and scars, along with the death of a close friend.

Frankly, our client is still struggling with the loss. The young man suffers from post traumatic stress disorder and depression, from that Michigan auto accident. A year and a half has passed, but he certainly is still not back to his old self.

Nothing can erase Dave’s physical scars from the car accident — and nothing can bring back his friend.

But we are glad that we had the opportunity to protect Dave’s legal rights and pursue a Michigan car accident claim on his behalf. Our experienced Michigan auto accident attorneys succeeded in getting a substantial amount of damages for Dave, to help compensate him for the physical and the emotional injuries caused by the car accident.

The compensation from the legal claim will make it possible for Dave to put some money away, perhaps to pay for college or buy his own home. At the Law Offices of Sam Bernstein, we are all hoping for this young man’s full recovery and a brighter future.
