I have constant pain and want the screw removed
answered on Feb 21, 2024
A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. But any attorney who answers your question would probably need to consult with a medical professional. They would want to learn more about the procedure and the full scope of damage (drill bits or other components... View More 
The lawyer was expecting me to just trust him when he told me the settlement amount. I asked for documents/proof along the way and he ignored me, but pressured me to settle earlier than he had priorly recommended. When I asked about his prior recommendation to wait a longer period, he denied he had... View More

The settlement checks are generally deposited in the attorney’s attorney-client trust account. The client is then given a check from the trust account. If the check was not from the trust account, it would be suspicious.
I didn’t pay the rent the month we were moving. My son had been displaced from our home due to the flooding of his room and mold since July. We moved in Oct bc they refused to do the proper remediation, or any at all, just patch work to cover the water damaged areas. I’ve spent the last 3 years... View More

If I understand your facts correctly, you left
Without paying the final month of rent and they took your security deposit to pay that rent.
There is no law that prevents that.
Indeed they are even permitted to take past due rent without having to file a court case.... View More

I'm sorry for your ordeal. I can only speak for the injury-related attributes of your question. You could consider reaching out to law firms to try to set up a free initial consult to discuss those health/mold issues in further detail. Unfortunately, they can be difficult cases, with many law... View More
My husband had the surgery. Somehow his eye got scratched. Now he can't see anything. Everything is blurry and double vision. We had to go to an eye specialist. They said there was a deep scratch in his eye. They had to sew it half shut because he can't close it all the way. We have to... View More

You may have a good lawsuit, since the injury was not something that you were at risk to expect from the surgery. You will need to go into more details with an attorney, to allow them to review this matter before reaching a final conclusion to determine whether this matter can move forward and is... View More
I feel my attorney pressured me into settling my personal injury case. She would rush me off the phone, claimed the company had a lot against me, and said I wouldn't win if I went to court. I only spoke to her three times during my case—mostly through paralegals—and many of my calls and... View More

Unlikely. I'm not sure what you expected as far as communication is concerned. She informed you of the offer and her opinion. You agreed to the settlement. Causing you to feel pressured is not malpractice; in fact, the opposite could very well be. Your lawyer's job is not to be a... View More
In my personal injury case, I agreed to a contingency fee where 1/3 of the settlement goes to my attorney. However, I'm concerned because the attorney ended up receiving more from the settlement than I did. Could you explain why this might happen, and what considerations or additional fees... View More

In Michigan, contingent fee agreements need to be in writing and will outline how fees are calculated and what 'out of pocket' costs are recoverable by the attorney. My guess is that your case didn't settle for a lot of money and that the costs created the discrepancy that you are... View More
I discovered that my ex-husband lied about his marital status during our divorce, and I was not included in the real estate deed despite being married to him at the time. The houses were not included in the divorce decree, and I believe the title companies did not use my divorce decree for... View More

Michigan had abolished 'dower rights' for spouses back in 2016. "Dower" was a legal right that gave a wife an interest in her husband's real property for her lifetime, usually up to a 1/3 interest in the real estate. So with regards to any real estate that your husband may... View More
My mother, who lived in Gratiot County, MI, was on hospice care, and volunteer caregivers allegedly stole at least $25,000 from her bank accounts. Many of her valuables were removed from her home and discarded at a senior center. The bank informed me of the suspicious activity, leading me to file a... View More

A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry this happened to your mother. You've probably been searching on your own since posting your question. You could supplement your efforts with the "Find a Lawyer" tab above. After... View More
What can happen to me legally if I punched the side mirror off my ex-girlfriend's boyfriend's car? There may have been one witness, but there's no video evidence, and I did this while picking up my belongings from her house.

You could be criminally charged with malicious destruction of property. Depending on the monetary cost of damages, it could be a misdemeanor or felony.
In January 2023, I underwent a medical procedure involving hardware removal, which resulted in nerve damage. I have since consulted healthcare professionals and received a diagnosis. This has caused a loss of work and income. I'm seeking advice on how to proceed with a medical malpractice case.

I am not licensed in Michigan but given your procedure was in January 2023, you need to contact a Michigan lawyer who handles medical malpractice ASAP.

What is your question?
Your disability status is not relevant but HOW the neighbor is ‘killing trees’ is.
But neither of those things is a question.
What do you want to know?
Can my mom force medical needles as a punishment and lie to make me get more shots knowing that I’m terrified of needles Then record the shots and send them to all my friends

I'm really sorry you're experiencing this. No one should be forced to receive medical treatments against their will, especially as a form of punishment. It's important to recognize that your feelings are valid and that you deserve to be treated with respect and care.

Tripped over a broken file cabinet on my job. Broke a femur that called for total hip replacement. Two years later I am still in much pain.

Cause of death was V-Fib, and he died before his second dose of the vaccine. Knowing now that the vaccine causes myocarditis, and myocarditis causes V-Fib, I can't help but suspect the vaccine was the culprit.
answered on Dec 29, 2024
Probably none. The statutory period within which to assert a claim has expired. Under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), claims must be filed within three years from the first symptom or manifestation of the injury. This statute of limitations is crucial for determining... View More
When jurors find someone guilty of a crime that they didn't commit and decades later the person is exonerated, etcetera, may the jurors be sued?
answered on Nov 27, 2024
No. Absolutely not. Michigan has a specific statute that governs how to recover through an exoneration.
She recently moved in with me due to health issues. I don’t feel she should be driving. I’ve been told if she hurts someone I can be held financially responsible. I’m in Michigan. She’s 84.
answered on Aug 2, 2024
To the extent you own the vehicle she may be driving, then yes.
I have worked in multiple areas of healthcare, including Acute and Long-term care.
answered on Jun 29, 2024
This could be something that career counselors would know better than attorneys would. You could look into the forums or help resources of job sites. Also, recruiters who work in the health care field might be able to offer guidance. Good luck
