About Daniel Swanson
Today, substantial settlements and results for clients are often achieved by way of alternative resolution that includes arbitration, mediation and negotiation. I am not only a skilled litigator, but I am very experienced and successful in obtaining substantial awards and settlements by way of negotiation, mediation and arbitration. While most such resolutions are confidential, in employment disputes I regularly obtain settlements and awards for individual clients that are equal to one to three years of his or her annual compensation.

Having held a variety of jobs since he was 12 years old (including a newspaper delivery boy, a grave digger and a corrections officer) Dan appreciates how important a person's job is, not just to them, but also to their family.

On April 25, 2014, a Saginaw County jury returned a $1,612,269 verdict for Debra Cameron and her husband, Hugh, against family physician James V. Bodrie, M.D. The jury found he failed to pursue a cardiac workup despite months of symptoms and a chest X-ray showing an enlarged heart, and that Ms. Cameron suffered a major heart attack days later. The award included $262,268.86 in medical expenses, with the rest for non-economic damages, and the vote was 6-2. Michigan's 2014 cap on non-economic damages in malpractice cases limits that portion to $440,200, so the most that could stand was about $702,469, and no appeal was filed.
