Sara Peele focuses her practice on the defense of insurance companies, self-insured corporations and businesses in a wide variety of civil litigation, including first-party auto No-Fault (PIP), third-party auto negligence, insurance coverage disputes, Michigan Assigned Claims Plan (MACP) Servicing Insurer Defense, and MACP Servicing Insurer Subrogation.
Her prior experience includes working on a massive oil spill class action which included wrongful death, personal injury, negligence, toxic tort claims, and maritime law.
