A brief intro from Michael Grossman. Many of us here at Grossman Law Offices are parents. Like most parents, we worry about our kids. Unlike most parents, however, we are confronted daily with painful reminders of just how often children perish in traffic accidents. The one takeaway from our years of representing families who have...
