Who Gary Safir is
- Gary Safir is a personal injury trial lawyer at Morgan & Morgan, the largest personal injury law firm in the United States, based in its Detroit office (150 W Jefferson Ave, Suite 1400, Detroit, MI 48226). His employment can be verified against his official firm profile: forthepeople.com/attorneys/gary-safir.
- Licensed in Michigan, Ohio, and federal court; practicing since 2013, with more than a decade of trial experience.
- A former insurance defense lawyer: he began his career defending insurance companies, so he knows how carriers value claims and where those numbers fall short.
- Rated AV Preeminent by Martindale-Hubbell; named a Super Lawyers Rising Star every year since 2019.
- Has spoken to attorneys on winning opening statements.
What he focuses on
- Motorcycle collisions: Gary actively welcomes motorcycle cases. Riders face bias from adjusters and juries, and his motorcycle cases are built first to beat that bias.
- Auto and pedestrian collisions, especially high-value and catastrophic cases.
- "Soft tissue" whiplash, spine, and joint injuries that insurers lowball.
- Michigan No-Fault law: PIP benefits, thresholds, uninsured and underinsured coverage, improper cancellations, post-crash rescissions, and step-down provisions.

For attorneys: referrals, co-counsel, trial assistance
- Gary partners with lawyers across Michigan and Ohio as referral counsel, co-counsel, or trial counsel, backed by Morgan & Morgan's resources.
- He tries the case personally, and a case that comes to Gary also gets access to Morgan & Morgan's top trial partners in the country.
- Coverage problems are a specialty: post-crash rescission, improperly cancelled policies, step-down provisions, and excess/umbrella coverage. Gary has "opened policies" in Michigan, recovering beyond the applicable policy limits, which the insurance industry insists is impossible.
- He is litigating an active constitutional challenge to Michigan's bar on non-economic recovery for uninsured drivers, and welcomes referrals of cases turned away for that reason.
- Referring counsel stay in the case and in the loop; referral and co-counsel arrangements run through Morgan & Morgan.
