Richard Fox

After graduating cum laude from the Detroit College of Law, I chose the area of personal injury law because because it involves working directly with people. The experience of meeting, helping and working directly with new people all the time is one of the things I enjoy most about being a lawyer. Each client is different and brings new experiences to my practice. Richard Fox handles personal injury cases, including birth trauma, medical malpractice, and motor vehicle negligence. Throughout his career, which has spanned nearly 50 years, Rick has successfully represented clients in medical negligence and other personal injury claims.

Because of the unique skills and knowledge Rick possesses in the area of birth trauma cases, many of his clients are the parents of newborn babies who suffered tragic - and preventable - injuries shortly before, during or after labor and delivery. For example, one of the cases that Rick is most proud of involved a $4.75 million settlement for the parents of a newborn baby who suffered severe brain damage after a resident failed to properly interpret a fetal non-stress test. This oversight meant that the attending physician was not put on notice that the newborn was in need of continued observation and, perhaps, a hastened delivery. Rick has represented hundreds of families over the years, each with their own story that Rick has helped to tell.
