Practice Areas

Personal Injury

We believe people deserve compensation for personal injuries caused by the wrongdoing of others. For over 40 years, we have been representing the victims of automobile accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip & falls, dog bites, dangerous products and other acts of negligence. We have worked with clients who have suffered burns, paralysis, broken bones, ruptured discs, and many other serious injuries.

At Goren, Goren & Harris, we have set records with our jury verdicts and settlements. As you can see by our resume, we are experienced, credentialed and respected. We handle large and small cases. We have written articles and lectured to other lawyers on the complex problems involved when a catastrophic injury or death destroys an individual’s life plans.

We work on a contingency basis – we don’t get paid unless you get paid. Of course, you may always call us free of charge, or contact us, for a completely free consultation. We handle the following types of injuries:

Medical or Legal Malpractice

Malpractice means negligence by a professional. A doctor or hospital can be sued for failing to order tests, missing a diagnosis, delaying treatment or other unreasonable conduct which causes injury to a patient. Likewise, a lawyer may commit a malpractice if he misses a deadline or otherwise breaches his professional duties – thus costing you money. Malpractice cases are almost always very hotly contested. Doctors rarely will admit they have done wrong – and can almost always find a colleague to defend their professional judgment. Law firms accepting malpractice cases must invest substantial time and lots of money to help prove that the care (or lack of it) caused the patient’s bad outcome.

Goren, Goren & Harris has the resources and experience to handle this challenging area of law. We receive referrals from other lawyers and are licensed to handle cases in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.  We also co-counsel nationwide to assist clients throughout the country.  We hold the record for the largest malpractice verdict in Lapeer County, and are in a select group of attorneys who have repeatedly obtained recoveries exceeding a million dollars. We have experience with many different areas of medical malpractice. We have obtained numerous large recoveries for the victims of cerebral palsy, meningitis, breast cancer,bone fractures, infections, heart attacks, emergency room mishaps, delayed diagnosis, and many other medical tragedies. In addition, Steven E. Goren has written about and lectured on Michigan’s Wrongful Death Act.

If you have a possible medical malpractice case, please call us or contact us for a totally free consultation. All of our cases are taken on a contingency basis – we don’t get paid unless you get paid. Our attorneys have experience in various areas of medical malpractice, including the following:

BEWARE: There is a time limit for bringing malpractice cases, and it’s not very long.

Class Actions

Class actions are lawsuits where one person, who individually may have only suffered a minor loss, represents a large group of individuals with a similar problem.

Steven E. Goren has handled numerous class actions, has lectured lawyers on class actions and helped author the National Association of Consumer Advocates’ Standards and Guidelines for Litigating and Settling Consumer Class Actions.  Mr. Goren has pursued Class Action claims involving the following areas:

A good case involves a business that is well established and won’t disappear or declare bankruptcy as soon as a lawsuit is filed. Ideally, many consumers will have suffered the same loss, even if no one consumer has suffered a great harm. There are many factors that must be examined in deciding whether to bring a class action.

Insurance Claims

If you don’t understand your legal rights, you may say or sign something that gives the insurance company the upper hand. Insurance companies will like that. You won’t. At Goren, Goren & Harris, we have years of experience dealing with unscrupulous insurance companies that will do anything to get out of a claim. Our firm has been litigating issues regarding insurance bad faith for over four decades. We handle the following types of insurance claims:
