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... View More

I would agree with you in theory. You probably should consider making a complaint with the specific hotel management. There may be some back-and-forth, but eventually an insurance company will become involved. Don't expect much: "pain and suffering" isn't the thing many people... View 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?

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... View 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... View 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.

I was a passenger in a motor vehicle accident. Upon suit, the driver of the vehicle in which I was alleges the other driver is liable. The alleged other driver failed to file an answer to the complaint with the court. How will the case proceed?

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.

What is your question? It sounds like your best course of action would be to address this issue with your university. Perhaps to the head academic advisor or to a dean of students. Many universities also have departments and deans specific to international students.
