The company I work for have a list of lawyers that they referred employees to. After researching and reading reviews we decided to go with Scott from Sumner and Associate. After working with Scott, I now understand why he has so many good reviews. Scott was knowledgeable and was so great at explaining all the law nuances that are very hard to understand for the general public. He guided my husband and I throughout the whole estate planning process and gave us the peace of mind that we needed. I cannot recommend him enough to my friends and family.

I recently used Sumner and Associates to create a living trust. The process was very organized and logical. The accompanying the trust documents in explaining (or reminding) me how to put my assets into the trust. It is very comforting now that I have completed my tasks that I have taken care of this for my children. Thanks again Scott for a pleasant and rewarding experience.

This office provides a comprehensive "system" for Estate Planning (the service we use). Not just prepare us with basic knowledge about the topic before we meet personally but also allow us to think through key components/element requrred prior to the meet, Scott really looking into what our need are (not just provide us a can package) and guided us to reach our goal with minimum effort on our side. We walk out thier office not just feel confidently we have a good plan in hands but also additional things/tips worth to consider (provided by Scott) beyond Estate Planning. Thank you, Scott and Sarah!!! Great service you provided to us!!!

Emotional distress is typically proven by introducing testimony regarding the incident and the impact of same regarding the injured party. An expert witness would be used to testify regarding medical and economic damages and physical limitations. Further, the insurance companies will not be responsible to pay for any damages beyond the insurance coverage under the policy, regardless of how much your damages.

How can I prove my pain and suffering?

In Michigan, you must prove the following in a personal injury automobile case in which you seek damages for pain and suffering. They are: 1) driver who caused the accident was negligent 2) the other driver was at least 50%, at fault 3) that drivers negligence caused your injury 4) you suffer from a serious impairment of disfigurement of a bodily function” and 5) you actually experience pain and suffering. 

What is a fair settlement for pain and suffering?

There are compensation guides that attorney’s and insurance companies use to determine value of pain and suffering. In fact, there is a software called Colossal that is used to calculate case value components. A general rule is to value a case at 2-5 times the economic and non-economic damages. Most pain and suffering compensation pay out fall in the range of $0-$150,000.
