DETROIT - Oct. 29, 2014 - PRLog -- McKeen & Associates, P.C. (www.mckeenassociates.com) announced Managing Partner and Founder Brian J. McKeen was named chair of the Primerus Personal Injury Institute (PPII, formerly Primerus Consumer Law Institute).

PPII is a group of outstanding trial lawyers who represent plaintiffs and consumers nationwide in personal injury lawsuits.  Members are known for achieving superior results for their clients in complex cases in both state and federal courts. They also are experienced in handling personal injury, medical malpractice, product liability cases in which individuals have been harmed physically or suffered monetary loss.

As chair, McKeen will preside the organization’s executive committee meetings, networking calls and business meetings and lead the planning for PPII’s Annual Winter/Spring Conference.  He also will serve as a board member and attend Board of Directors meetings, encourage member participation in all institute initiatives and inform members on organization happenings via a column in the Primerus 180, a semi-annual members-only publication.

During the course of a career spanning more than 30 years, McKeen has resolved numerous medical malpractice cases.  Today, he is considered one of the foremost medical malpractice attorneys in the United States.

His $12.9 million judgment for a client in her suit against Genesys Regional Medical Center was the second-highest verdict in the state of Michigan for 2013 according to Michigan Lawyers Weekly.  It also was the state’s top medical malpractice decision of the year.

Since 2001, McKeen & Associates has been among the perennial leaders in top settlements, generating the year's top verdict in Michigan four times, including securing the state's largest medical malpractice verdict on record in 2001, when a jury rendered a verdict award of $55 million in the case of Hall v. Henry Ford Health System. The Detroit-based firm also topped all Michigan verdict awards in:

·      2002—Blazo v. McLaren Regional Medical Center, et al—$22.5 million

·      2006—Lowe v. Henry Ford Health System—$16 million

·      2007—Oppenheim v. Aeneas C. Guiney—$35 million

As further testament to his great work, in 2013, McKeen was awarded the Dan Cullan Memorial Award from the American Association of Justice (AAJ) and Executive Board of the AAJ Birth Trauma Litigation Group.  The honor recognized him for his passionate and unwavering commitment to excellence in advocacy and his devotion and service to the Birth Trauma Litigation Group and the children that it serves.  The award also acknowledges McKeen as someone who exemplifies the finest qualities of Dan Cullan, the highly respected MD JD who spent his career helping children in birth trauma cases and for whom this award is named.

The Bloomfield Hills, Michigan resident currently sits on the executive boards of the Michigan Association for Justice (MAJ) and the American Association for Justice (AAJ).  Brian formerly served as chair of the AAJ Professional Negligence Section, Medical Negligence Exchange Group and Birth Trauma Litigation Group (BTLG).  He is a member of The Inner Circle of Advocates, and organization of the Top 100 plaintiff attorneys in the country.  In 2012, he was named among the Top Attorneys in Michigan as published by The New York Times.
