American Association for Justice bestows Honor for Commitment to Justice In truck accident litigation.
Farmington Hills, MI — Michigan Auto Law attorney Steven M. Gursten received the prestigious Hall of Fame Award from the American Association for Justice Trucking Litigation Group at its Annual Convention in Philadelphia, PA, on July 17, 2023.
Steve is only the third lawyer in the history of the Trucking Litigation Group to be awarded this honor.
The AAJ’s Hall of Fame Award is bestowed upon only those elite truck accident attorneys whose litigation and advocacy in the courtroom has significantly advanced the rights of the wrongfully injured and whose career has “made a significant and positive impact on the civil justice system. These trucking lawyer Hall of Famers are known for their “integrity and character,” “contributions to the public good and welfare,” and contributions to advancing the cause of justice and the mission of the American Association for Justice.
“I am honored to receive the Hall of Fame Award,” said Gursten. “It’s gratifying to be recognized by all of my peers – the very best truck accident lawyers in the country – for this Hall of Fame Award. It is a recognition that comes from thousands of hours of hard work helping people secure justice after having their lives shattered by negligent trucking companies. Our mission continues to make the trucking industry safer, promote safer roads, and save lives.”
