Find out what happened for starters--if you are a witness, you may get a warrant if they need you--you'd want to check with whoever subpoenaed you.
If it's for an arraignment or other you may have a warrant and should consult criminal defense counsel in that county.

I feel my boyfriend was neglected and now has long term health consequences.

Prisoners are entitled to basic and essential health care services. Whether the MDOC is liable for your boyfriend's injury or treatment is fact-dependent.

Typically, when there is a settlement, there is a general release signed which ends up releasing the at-fault driver and insurance company from any further liability. You may want to consult with an attorney in your area to see if you truly waived all of your legal rights. Good luck.

Go to the county court where the decision would have been made, if it was a state court case. If Federal, you would go to wheichever Federal Court (Eastern District/Detroit; Western District/Kalamazoo[I believe]).

No one was hurt, or there at the time. We were coming home from vacation, and have a hunch who may have done this, but no real proof. Not enough, anyway, but to me, it checks out. Just not to police.

If you had a contractor their insurance might cover. Talk to your CPA about a big casualty loss deduction on your tax return--may have to file an amended (for 2015) if you didn't claim it

See a criminal attorney. Understand they may not get the bond---law regarding medical treatment rights of prisoners is poor. Contact the prison project of the Michigan Civil Liberties Union for information.

You should contact a member of the Michigan Assn for Justice--they give free consultations--and get a personal meeting as situations like this are difficult to evaluate over the phone. Much depends on your father's situation, where he was in the pool, other matters.

Only if you were careless in turning or how you turned. If he wasn't moderating his speed,on him. However if no one got your name unlikely someone will be looking for you. If they do, If you have homeowners let them handle it.

Not sure why a sign would stab you--perhaps you mean your foot was cut by a sign.
Generally if the sign is static, I don't see why there would be a case assuming your foot was the moving object.
