A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. In a setting like this, there are no guarantees as to who a potential plaintiff would name in a lawsuit. If someone is merely inserting a script that the client provided without knowledge, that would probably be... Read more »

A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Until you're able to consult with a local attorney, pain and suffering is generally an element of a bodily injury claim. It would depend on demonstrating the fault of the other party. In terms of the connection... Read 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.... Read 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.

Only a Michigan attorney could advise, since states could differ as to PIP (personal injury protection) benefits, depending on the type of jurisdiction. But your question remains open for a week, and it sounds like you may be trying to arrange immediate medical care. In no-fault jurisdictions, the... Read more »
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 »

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... Read more »
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 »
This was a dog attack. my dog sustained most of the injuries.
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... Read more »

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.

Do you have a workers comp attorney? Ask him or get one. I can set you up with one of the best in Michigan if you still need help.
Police and animal control were called that day. Report was filed, and they stated the dog was not at fault because he was provoked and in a confined area on our property. She continues to threaten getting a lawyer unless we pay money to get a privacy fence. Do we have anything to worry about?

A Michigan attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for three weeks. There's no controlling whether someone will sue or not. But based on your post, you have a strong defense. Keep all records and reports that support that your dog was not an aggressor. They'll be useful... 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.

You would not have standing to sue simply by you being present.
I called police to see if I can report the other two. Got the run around in Jackson county. I finally was told I could report her father biting her. She scratched him protecting herself and he put charges on the child although her injuries were more severe. He made things up to have her go to... 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.
