Background

About Michael Rajt

I am a partner in the Southfield office of Jaffe Raitt Heuer & Weiss and a member of the Firm’s Insurance Practice Group, specializing in insurance, product liability and professional liability law, as well as property and casualty insurance. Before I was admitted to practice and join the Firm in 1977, I spent 10 years as a claims adjuster and supervisor with three national insurance carriers. Since joining Jaffe, I have used my background and experience in the insurance industry to assist clients in disputes with insurers concerning the scope of coverage under general and umbrella liability, professional and directors' and officers' and trust department E&O liability insurance and the effect of numerous exclusions in those policies on the duty of the insurer to defend and indemnify clients in a variety of situations. I have also represented clients in disputes concerning the impact of competing "other insurance" or "excess" clauses. I earned my Bachelor’s degree from Wayne State University and graduated cum laude from Detroit College of Law. Specialties: insurance, product liability, professional liability law, property and casualty insurance.
