We handle all types of cases for injury victims, including:

Automobile Accident and Denial of No-Fault Insurance Benefits
A 37-year old father of three young children was severely injured in an automobile accident when a drunk driver crossed the center line and hit him. Our client suffered two fractured legs and could not walk. Through his own No-Fault insurance we made certain that he received payment of all medical bills and wages. We also secured his home medical equipment. This included a hospital bed, so he did not have to be restrited to his bedroom upstairs, and home nursing so his condition could be monitored while he was surrounded by his family. We also secured a financial settlement for scarring, and his extended pain and suffering.

Uninsured Motorist
A paramedic's ambulance was struck by a car that ran a red light. He suffered a devistating shoulder injury which permanently disabled him, preventing hime from returning to work as an Emergency Medical Technician. While on the scene, police officers told him that the other driver was just a high school student, and the vehicle was uninsured. Our client was led to believe that he had no source of financial recovery. Fortunately, he called our offices. Our legal investigation soon revealed that our client's employer had a large Uninsured Motorist Policy. After legal interaction and careful documentation of all injuries by the involved physicians, we were able to obtain a large settlement for our client to help him get on with his life.

Motorcycle Accident
In the darkness of a moonless midnight, a motorcyclist suddenly came upon an abandoned automobile. He tried to swerve out of the way, but was unsuccessful and sustained terrible leg injuries that required the insertion of a metal rod. MPMK attorneys argued his case up to the court of appeals - and won. In a published opinion, judges agreed that our client was entitled to insurance coverage through the abandoned vehicle for disfigurement, pain and suffering. Our client also received a significant settlement for those damages in addition to his no-fault benefits for medical bills, wage loss, and help around the house.

Slip/Trip and Fall
A hidden step at a private home caused one female party-goer to fall and break her ankle. She was permenently disabled as a result. Our attorney took this case up to the Michigan Court of Appeals, at which time an earlier decision was reversed and our client was awarded a very large cash settlement.

Dog Bites
A seven-year-old girl was attacked by her neighbor's German Shepherd. Her lower lip was nearly severed and required a number of reconstructive surgeries. We recovered compensation for both pain and suffering, disfigurement and medical expenses, which included coverage for potential future surgeries.

Medical Malpractice
A young woman returned to her medical center time and time again with recurrent infections. She was tired, run down, and her head hurt. The doctor treated each infection in turn, but never made the essential diagnosis: HIV/AIDS. Because she did not fit the AIDS profile, she was never even tested. While medical advances can extend the lives of HIV positive patients, this young woman never had the chance for treatment because no one knew she had the virus. When her parents approached us after her death, we knew that they deserved compensation for the untimely loss of their child. We sued the hospital and wom a large financial settlement for her family, including parents and grandparents. And, her parents gained some satisfaction knowing that those doctors won't be so hasty in dismissing the possibility of HIV in the future.

Wrongful Death
A 51-year old grandmother died just hours after she was involved in a car crash, but doctors said the cause of death was "undetermined." We weren't so sure. After an in-depth investigation, our attorneys concluded that her death was indeed related to the accident, and were able to build a strong case for financial recovery. We secured a very substantial settlement for her family, including her children, grandchildren and siblings.

Railroad Accident
A 12-year -old boy living in Southwest Detroit was anxious to get home before curfew. He ran, then hopped one of the many slow-moving freight trains that rumbled through his neighborhood. Then he fell off. The train rolled over the boy, severing his legs and right arm. Miraculously, he survived. When his parents approached our firm, they didn't think they had any legal recourse. We quickly began to work onthis case, and filed alawsuit against the railroad company claiming, in part, that they should have posted guards at the crossing to prevent children from alighting. A huge financial settlement was obtained for the youth to compensate for his severed limbs, and to help him manage a disabled lifestyle.

Defective Product
A clogged drain led one retired gentleman to the hardware store, where he purchased some drain cleaner. He had used the material before and took care, but nothing prepared him for the explosion of harmful acid when he poured the solution into the drain. As a result he lost sight in one eye and suffered severe facial scarring. Our attornes took this case to trial, and secured a large financial settlement for this client from the manufacturer of the dangerous product.

Workers Compensation
We understand that workers can be in a tight spot when an injury occurs on the job. Often when an accident happens, workers hesitate to report it for fear of being labeled a complainer. So they wait, hoping the pain will pass. But when the pain doesn't fade, and the employee reports the accident later on, he is told, "you waited too long. It didn't happen here."

After a bad lifting accident at work, a 40-year-old factory worker was in great pain. When he reported the accident, his employer implied he was not entitled to benefits. Then the factory worker came to see the attorneys at MPMK. We filed an immediate action and got his insurance company involved so that in a short time he received complete medical treatment and full benefits.

Social Security
"You're not sick enough" a 53-year-old woman suffering from chronic arthritis and iabetes was told, and twice denied Social Security and Disability benefits. But she was very ill. By presenting her case to the Social Security Administration, our lawyers obtained these benefits for her, in addition to two-and-a-half years past due benefits.

Lead Paint Poisoning
Shoddy maintenance in a rented urban home enabled a child to unknowingly ingest lead-based paint. He was later diagnosed with severe learning disabilities directly linked to earlier poisoning. We obtained a large settlement for damages for this child.
