The Law Offices of Sam Bernstein, officially The Law Offices of Samuel I. Bernstein, is an American law firm, located in Farmington Hills, Michigan.[1] The firm specializes in personal injury law.[2] As of 2008, its main office employed approximately 50 employees.[3]

Practice Specialty

The Law Offices of Sam Bernstein specialize in personal injury law.[2] Cases include auto and motorcycle accidents, nursing home abuse, spinal cord injury and other types of medical cases, including medical malpractice.[1]

History

The firm was founded in 1968 and is built on three generations of family members in the legal profession all serving the Metro Detroit area.[4]

The first generation of Bernstein lawyers included Mandell Bernstein and Estelle Koblin-Nelson, both practicing law in Detroit.[4] The patriarch of the Bernstein family of lawyers, Mandell Bernstein, was born in 1899.[2] Mandell graduated from law school in 1922 and practiced law in Detroit.[2] The matriarch of the Bernstein family of lawyers, Estelle Koblin-Nelson, was one of the first female attorneys in Michigan in 1936 when she was admitted to the State Bar of Michigan.[5]

Sam Bernstein represents the second generation of the Bernstein family of lawyers.[2] After graduating from Wayne State University Law School in 1968, Sam continued the tradition established by his father, Mandell, and mother-in-law, Estelle.[2]

The third generation of Bernstein lawyers includes Mark Bernstein, Richard H. Bernstein and Beth Bernstein. All three siblings currently practice law together at The Law Offices of Samuel I. Bernstein.[4]

Notable cases

Detroit Department of Transportation (filed August 2004)[6]

Suit filed against the City of Detroit on behalf of five disabled Detroit residents, claiming that half of the city’s buses lacked working wheelchair lifts as required by Federal Law.[7] The plaintiffs stated that they were forced to wait in inclement weather for long periods as a result of this violation.[7] Amidst a very public battle in the local media where then-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick "publicly disparaged Bernstein on radio,"[8] The U.S. Department of Justice later intervened in the case, forcing the city and Kilpatrick to settle the Federal lawsuit.[6][9] The agreement, ordered by the US Department of Justice on November 4, 2005,[10] required the city to test the wheelchair lifts of its buses daily, improve the training of its drivers and mechanics and subject its buses to surprise evaluations regularly to ensure disabled patrons have access to public transportation.[6] The City of Detroit Department of Transportation is under the supervision of the United States Department of Justice.[11]

University of Michigan – Michigan Stadium (filed April 2007)[12]

Suit filed on behalf of the Michigan Paralyzed Veterans of America against University of Michigan – Michigan Stadium claiming that Michigan Stadium violated the Americans with Disabilities Act in its $226-million renovation by failing to add enough seats for disabled fans or accommodate the needs for disabled restrooms, concessions and parking. The U.S. Department of Justice assisted in the suit, which was settled in March 2008.[13] The consent decree, signed by U.S. District Court Judge Sean Cox[10] required the stadium to add 329 wheelchair seats throughout the stadium by 2010, and an additional 135 accessible seats in clubhouses to go along with the existing 88 wheelchair seats.[14][15] The school also will enhance the wheelchair accessibility of parking, access routes, restrooms, concessions and other amenities, and for disabled journalists, even the player locker rooms and coaches' offices.[16][17] After the expansion was completed, the stadium accommodates 109,901, allowing the stadium to retain its designation as the largest in the USA.[18]

Road Commission for Oakland County (filed August 2007)[19]

Suit filed on behalf of three disabled Oakland County, Michigan residents in federal court. The suit claimed that the plan by the Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) to install roundabouts at three different West Bloomfield, Michigan intersections didn't comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and prevented disabled pedestrians from being able to move freely throughout the area.[19] The suit claimed that roundabouts are unsafe for blind and disabled pedestrians.[20] The case came to a national precedent-setting agreement between the RCOC and Bernstein in March 2008 for the installation of roundabout safety equipment at each location at each entry point of the roundabout.[20][21] If the safety equipment fails, the community may face a federal mandate to tear out the roundabout.[22] A 43-page outline, issued by U.S. District Judge Victoria A. Roberts on March 27, 2009, detailed the timeline for research and installation of automated pedestrian safety equipment.[23] The RCOC finished installing a High Intensity Activated Crosswalk (HAWK) system August 19, 2009, which cost $600,000.[24] At a second roundabout in the suit, a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) was installed October 8, 2010.[25] The cost to set up the system was $70,000.[25] The RCOC said the flashing beacons will stay up for at least one year, while studies are conducted by Western Michigan University and North Carolina State University to determine whether the two systems impact pedestrian safety, particularly for disabled people.[25] If the results are successful, the systems could be installed at other roundabouts.[26]

In February 2009, in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the Green Bay City Council decided, against public opposition, to install six roundabouts on Military Avenue.[27] Attorney Richard Bernstein spoke at the Council's February 16, 2009 meeting in opposition of the roundabout installations.[22] In an interview with Green Bay television station WBAY-TV, Richard Bernstein stated that if the roundabouts are approved as-is on Military Avenue, he is prepared to explore taking the issue to federal court.[28] In March 2009, due to public outcry and the proposed law suit, the Council cancelled installation of the six proposed roundabouts, instead opting for installation of traffic signals.[29]

Northwest Airlines and Wayne County Airport Authority (filed April 2008)[30]

Suit filed against Northwest Airlines (NWA) and Wayne County Airport Authority on behalf of five disabled passengers, claiming that NWA and the Airport Authority violated the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Carrier Act and the Rehabilitation Act.[30] The suit alleged that Detroit Metro Airport and NWA have dropped passengers to the floor, denied them accessible parking, damaged wheelchairs and failed to provide an area for guide dogs to relieve themselves.[31] Further, the suit alleged that Detroit Metro Airport could be in violation of federal laws developed to improve access for the physically disabled.[32]

On September 3, 2008, U.S. District Court Judge George Caram Steeh III ruled that the ADA applies to air carriers. According to expert Gary Talbot of Boston, formerly of the U.S. Access Board, the ruling means floor slopes, boarding platforms, counter heights, bathrooms, how wheelchairs are handled and anything pertaining to Metro Airport must comply with ADA architectural guidelines.[10] Talbot submitted a 100-page audit to the U.S. District Court in December 2008. According to an interview of Talbot in The Detroit News, the decisions of the judge in this case could drive change across the country with regard to ADA compliance and structural changes required to achieve compliance.[32]

Announced on September 27, 2011, an order in U.S. District Court in Detroit resolved approximately 60 disputed items within the lawsuit had reached settlement.[33] The order was signed by Judge Steeh, Atlanta-based Delta Airlines (which became part of the suit when it purchased Northwest Airlines during the time of the lawsuit)[33] and the Airport Authority to make significant modifications to bring them into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act laws,[34] and in some cases, the airline and airport authority already have (as of September 30, 2011).[35] The order covers changes to Detroit Metro Airport's McNamara Terminal, North Terminal, parking garages, the Westin Hotel and airport shuttle buses to better accommodate disabled passengers.[36] The court also ruled that the airlines and airport authority violated the Americans with Disabilities Act by not providing an accessible path from an elevator discharge area to a pedestrian bridge at the airport in Romulus, southwest of Detroit.[33]

Major upgrades include installing new curb ramps, accessible restroom stalls and cane detectors throughout the airport, as well as altering the slope of some ramps.[34] Minor modifications include: signage changes, removal of confusing elevator switch plates and the provision of staffers to help disabled flyers at airline kiosks or crossing jet bridges.[34]

The lawsuit was dismissed as part of the agreement for upgrades, and the airport and airline did not admit to wrongdoing or liability, as part of the agreement.[34] The airline and airport authority have three years to comply with the modifications.[35] Under the agreement, significant changes can be completed after the three years has elapsed and the timeline is open to negotiation.[34]

American Bar Association (filed May 2011)[37]

Suit filed against the American Bar Association (ABA) on behalf of legally blind school applicant Angelo Binno, a resident of West Bloomfield, Michigan[38] in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan Southern Division.[39] The complaint alleges that by pushing law schools to use the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) in its accreditation rules, the ABA imposes an inequitable test requiring "spatial reasoning and the ability to diagram” that discriminates against blind and visually impaired students.[38] The suit alleges that the ABA is thereby failing to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.[37]

The suit seeks injunctive and declaratory relief as well as a waiver from the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) for Binno due to his visual impairment[37] caused by retinitis pigmentosa.[40] According to news reports, Binno is not seeking financial damages.[41]

Binno claims he has been denied entry to law school five times because of low LSAT scores, due to his inability to diagram for the logic game section[37][41][42] and to be granted a waiver from taking the LSAT,[43] administered by the Law School Admission Council (LSAC).[44] The LSAC administers more than 100,000 LSATs annually.[40]

Questions that require diagramming to answer successfully make up one-fourth of the exam,[45] consisting of 23 “logic game” questions in the three-part test.[39] High LSAT scores improve an applicant’s chances of getting into a prestigious law school.[41]

Binno graduated West Bloomfield High School in three years instead of the traditional four, earned a bachelor’s degree in political science[37] from Wayne State University and was awarded high-level security clearance to access the National Crime Information Center database[41] with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security,[39][42] where Binno worked for two years.[41] Binno also speaks three languages.[42]

The suit also alleges that law schools are pressured by the ABA to administer the LSAT because if they waive the exam for visually impaired applicants they risk losing their status as an ABA-approved school.[45] According to the suit, schools could face sanctions, be put on probation or lose accreditation completely if they fail to comply by providing the LSAT.[40]

According to the ABA, law schools must require applicants to take a “valid and reliable admissions test”[45] but it has never required use of the LSAT.[37] It claims that schools can use a test other than the LSAT if the school can establish that it is a “valid and reliable” test of an applicant’s “ability to satisfactorily complete the school’s education program.”[45] Statistical studies have shown little, if any, correlation between high LSAT scores and academic success in law school.[41]

The ABA also says it does not establish the weight a law school must give to LSAT test scores in its admissions requirements.[37] However, Wayne State University Professor David Moss on June 15, 2011 on National Public Radio (NPR) said that some schools do accept students with low LSAT scores, but the LSAC directs schools not to give tests taken with special accommodations the same weight as regular LSAT test scores.[46] Schools that accept low LSAT scores may damage their rankings in the annual U.S. News and World Report.[46]

In a statement, the ABA said it “believes the LSAT does not unlawfully discriminate against persons with disabilities.”[37] The ABA told NPR it requires universities it accredits to conform to federal law and that accommodations be made for people with disabilities.[46]

The LSAC has been sued twice by the Department of Justice, once in 2002 and once in 2011, for failing to provide “reasonable accommodations” for disabled students and for having an “inaccessible website,” respectively.[41] In the 2002 case, the LSAC did not grant extra time to four students with cerebral palsy, which is required by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.[41]

On August 15, 2011, the ABA filed a motion to dismiss because the organization says it is not responsible for the administration of the LSAT.[44] As of September 2011, the case is still pending.
