And in many such instances, you’d be correct. However, understanding the Michigan Self-Defense Act and our state’s so-called “stand your ground” law…
Imagine that in tomorrow’s mail you receive an unexpected check sent by an insurance company. Great news, right? You might think it’s a genuine windfall. You might even immediately take it to your bank to cash it in or be tempted to use the bank’s mobile app to deposit it remotely right away. But, as our founder Mike…
As anyone who drives for Uber or Lyft… walks dogs or babysits as a part-time job… delivers food for DoorDash, GrubHub or InstaCart… works in a contract position or as an independent contractor… or serves clients as a freelance artist or writer knows, there are a lot of benefits to being what’s commonly known as a…
If you’ve been injured or — even worse — a loved one is taken from you due to the irresponsible actions of a distracted driver, a careless employer, or some other negligent individual, the last thing you probably want to do is wait months or even years for your personal injury or wrongful death case…
Those ubiquitous Pepto Bismol TV ads may be disgusting and distasteful, but they’re also painfully true. Across the country, and here in Michigan, numerous people have been hospitalized or even died due to the recent spate of food poisoning cases.

Before we get into the gist of this article – which will discuss how bankruptcy proceedings could potentially result in the loss of a valuable personal injury settlement – it’s important to describe the various “chapters” of bankruptcy that federal law offers for people who need relief from extreme financial difficulties. Each of these so-called chapters…
When you’ve been injured in a car crash that’s not your fault, you are entitled to sue for damages if you’ve experienced “serious impairment of body function” or “permanent serious disfigurement” resulting from the accident. That’s Michigan law, and it’s designed to protect innocent victims from the high costs of unreimbursed medical bills, lost wages, or…
Over the past several years, there have been more than 2 million traffic crashes across Michigan. That may sound like an astoundingly large number, but what might be even more surprising is that a significant portion of those accidents involved three or more vehicles. In fact, from 2019 to 2023 (the last year for which we have complete statistics) there were…
What may at first sound like a simple question with an easy “yes” or “no” answer turns out to be actually quite complicated. That’s because there are a number of long-standing legal precedents limiting the rights of citizens to sue local, state and federal governments, which differ substantially from each other and require solid knowledge of…
When you’ve just been injured in a car accident, you’ll probably make a few highly important phone calls almost immediately after the incident has occurred. The very first call, of course, should be to 911 so you can get emergency personnel and law enforcement officers on the scene to help with first aid, and to have a police…
Over the years, we’ve warned our readers to avoid numerous deadly places for drivers. Last spring we reported on the most dangerous places for people in cars, bicyclists, pedestrians, and motorcyclists. This time, we’re concentrating our attention on the last of these groups, since it’s recently been noted that Michigan is one of the nation’s worst 10 states for…
In recent months, there have been a never-ending stream of automotive recalls and other product safety actions, many of which have been mandated by the National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA) or other government regulators. Flawed components, poorly designed parts, improper engineering, even typographical errors in owner’s manuals (among other factors) have led to injuries or even deaths for…
