I believe there’s a law in Michigan that the condo association has the post that there is lad, our mold in the buildings in the common area
answered on Mar 4, 2023
I believe you’re confusing rental property and condos. They are NOT the same thing, and the rules are distinct.
While there are FEDERAL rules about the disclosure of *LEAD* in both rentals and sales, there are no federal or state rules in Michigan about mold. For either condos or rental... Read more »

Go to the records department of the clerk of the court where the lawsuit was filed. You should be able to search by the case number or by the legal name of one of the parties.
1. We own streets and sidewalks.
2. We have sidewalk and street plowed/shoveled over 1 and half inches. Is this reasonable care from liability standpoint? Or, would you also have to salt to show reasonable care?
3. We don't think we need to salt street because city... Read more »

A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. When it comes to defining "reasonable care," it can sometimes be open to debate. In a textbook sense, it is generally regarded as the level of care that a reasonably prudent person would use. The... Read more »

In a court of law, you will have to prove each and every element of your case, which in this context means that any monies/reimbursement you are seeking needs to be proven to be related to the incident. If the attacker contends that what you have provided is insufficient (and a Court agrees) then... Read more »

There is, unfortunately, nothing other than reporting to the police. Perhaps try contacting the prosecutor's office; they are the ones who determine who to charge and with what, not the police.

What damages did you suffer? And how can you prove the head board fell due to some negligence of the hotel?

Your driver may ask the court to enter a default judgment against the other driver. Do you know if the other driver is insured?

The first question to ask when contemplating a law suit is what are the damages? Did your son suffer a reaction to the extent of being hospitalized? Law suits are expensive and unless you have some provable damages, you may want to just voice your concerns to the school administration.
