A Southfield firm negotiated a $2.1 million settlement stemming from a donut ship robbery with left one worker dead and another seriously injured. Maher Abdelsalam was shot dead when armed robbers hit the Elias Donut shop in Detroit in the early hours of September 4, 1992. Wael Elhajomar was shot in the head and still has a bullet logged in his skull. Byron Siegel represented Abdelsalam’s estate and Elhajomar in a suit against the shop owner, the owner of the building, and an agency which allegedly failed to properly produce workers’ compensation insurance for the shop. That failure left the shop owner exposed to litigation in the incident. Both cases were settled for a total of $2,146,000 with $860,000 going to Abdelsalam’s estate and the rest to Elhajomar. There have been no arrests in the robbery. Geoffrey Fieger and Byron E.
