The best way would be to consult with experienced medical malpractice attorneys in the State where this occurred.
For a malpractice case one almost always needs an expert doctor or other health care professional to testify the doctor acted below the standard of care and the malpractice... View More

Wants me to replace her glasses for $185.
Her husband is the one who sent me the message. And states if I don't contact him by 5pm he's going to have to file a lawsuit
I haven't admitted to anything nor have I contacted him back

For $185!? He's going to spend more than that filing a law suit.
How you move about this depends on how much you value the relationship with your friend. Although it sounds like maybe her husband is more of a problem here.
If it were me, I would be inclined not to let money... View More

Hello! My name is Benjamin, and I am wondering if you can provide me some legal advice on insurance matters. I have just recently sold a house but yet still have insurance on the house.

Sue them for what? If the house was sold, you have no insurable interest in the property, even if you are still paying premiums on it. You would essentially double-dip if you already received the sale proceeds, and now you were to receive the insurance payout. That's like insuring your... View More

In Michigan, PIP is not the same as pain and suffering. PIP refers to "personal injury protection" benefits. PIP benefits include the payment of hospital bills, doctors' bills, 85% of lost wages, household replacement services, attendant (nursing) care and other benefits.... View More

No long term medical issues occurred; however, basic emergency room costs amounted to ~$20k (~$5k after applied insurance). A campus police report is available but cannot be provided without request from insurance. We are currently awaiting word from BCBS subrogation dept.

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

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

This was a dog attack. my dog sustained most of the injuries.
answered on Jan 10, 2023
You will need to establish your damages, and usually that does involve itemized receipts. In your case, I would imagine the court needing vet bills to show how much the attack cost you; note that "pain and suffering" is not part of the equation. The court cannot order a speculative amount.

answered on Jan 10, 2023
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
