I developed a severe gambling addiction while taking Mirapex long-term. It stopped after I quit taking the drug. This has placed me on the brink of bankruptcy. Is this a valid basis for suing the manufacturer? Do the existence of prior class action lawsuits to which I was not a party prevent me... View More

A Michigan attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for a week. As a GENERAL matter, It seems like it would be a difficult case to establish. It could depend on what the warning label for Mirapex includes, but the drug is generally used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's... View More
Well I was living with a friend and I recently moved out but I was never on the lease, most of my things are there I wanted to get them back but the person is giving me tge run around to get them. Is there any way I could obtain them?

Not easily. You might need to file a claim and delivery action in the local district court.
Saying it would just be a couple days all they had to do was replace a panel they forgot to but when the fire marshal returned when the panel was replaced he did a fuller inspection and found the dryer was so full of lint it was actually all the way up in the ceiling going about 40 feet back.

Dear Davisburg,
Your question references a condition at the property which could've, but in actuality did not adversely affect you. In the eyes of the law, you lack standing to sue, because you have not suffered a particularized injury traceable to the hotel's conduct. Sure, you... View More
He is threatening to sue us. What are our legal responsibilities? He wants the refunded rental fee back as well as the damage repair.
We were willing to pay the repair but not pay back the money he refunded us.

A Michigan attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for five weeks. It could depend on the terms of the rental agreement, and possibly subsequent communications. Additional factors could also be relevant, in terms of the manner in which the jet skis were operated, and possibly the... View More

You should contact a Michigan attorney if this is something on which you are contemplating a claim. Your post remains open for a week and it looks like two-plus years have already elapsed.

Based on these brief facts, there is no general, universal answer. It could depend on a number of factors, some of which include dentist's conformity to requisite standard of care, condition of patient's teeth, communications between dentist and patient, patient's understanding of... View More

If you are out more than $30,000 due to the contractor’s breach of contract, you’ll need to file suit in circuit court. The district court only covers claims up to $25,000, and small claims only up to $6,000.
As always, you get what you pay for. Be sure to talk to a qualified attorney... View More

Like many legal disputes, the situation you describe involves conflicting claims and evidence. In the abstract: yes, you could have a case. But practically speaking, I wouldn't go to court over being out $300. It isn't worth it. Resolve to never do business with that person again, you are... View More

Best answer would be through ATF. Why not see if they'll take Fedex or others who may take it on as a shipment?

I suggest small claims court. It is inexpensive and you can recover your filing fee as well. The hearing is relatively informal so you do not have to know legal terminology. Remember "The People's Court" with Judge Wapner? Same concept. Bring your evidence and be ready to argue.... View More

I don't see punitives. You have a right to claim for strict liability for food products. As to future consequences, unless your dentist will give you a letter stating that to a reasonable degree of medical certainty you will have problems you don't get that.
