THE MICHIGAN SUPREME COURT REVERSES THE COURT OF APPEALS IN A VICTORY FOR INJURED PEOPLE

By Michael Nichols

The Michigan Supreme Court has just reversed the Michigan Court of Appeals in a way that gives hope to people who are injured in Michigan. The trend toward creating needless roadblocks to justice may be over. Attorney Wendy M. Schiller-Nichols, a leading advocate for injured people in this state and President of the Nichols Law Firm said:  “Apsey V Apsey was a hurdle that too many people could not overcome in seeking justice.” Schiller-Nichols said, “The Court of Appeals had ruled that an affidavit from a doctor regarding the malpractice of a Michigan doctor had to be certified – it created hurdles that were unnecessary for people hurt by the malpractice of doctors.”
