Lemon Law, Personal Injury & Consumer Protection Attorney Serving Michigan and Ohio

A vehicle may qualify as a lemon if it has a substantial defect that affects its use, value, or safety and the manufacturer cannot repair the problem after a reasonable number of attempts. Both Michigan and Ohio have Lemon Laws that may entitle eligible consumers to a replacement vehicle or a refund, but the requirements differ by state.

Michigan's Lemon Law, MCL 257.1401–257.1410, generally applies to qualifying new motor vehicles, while Ohio's Lemon Law, Ohio Revised Code §§ 1345.71–1345.78, establishes requirements for eligible vehicles, repair attempts, and potential remedies.

Your vehicle's age, warranty coverage, repair history, and the nature of the defect can all affect your rights. We can review your circumstances, explain your options, and help you determine whether you may have a lemon law claim.

If a dog bites you, seek medical attention promptly, report the incident to the appropriate local authorities, and document your injuries and the circumstances surrounding the attack. If possible, obtain the dog owner's contact and insurance information and keep records of your medical treatment and related expenses.

Our personal injury attorneys accept cases throughout Michigan and Ohio. If you're considering seeking compensation after a dog bite, here are the relevant state laws to know in terms of who could be held accountable:

• Michigan's dog bite law, MCL 287.351, generally holds a dog's owner liable when the dog bites someone without provocation while that person is on public property or lawfully on private property, regardless of whether the owner knew the dog was dangerous.

• Under Ohio Revised Code § 955.28, a dog's owner, keeper, or harborer may be liable for injuries caused by the dog, subject to statutory exceptions.

The laws differ in important ways, and the facts of your case matter. We can help you understand your rights, identify potential sources of compensation, and pursue a claim for medical expenses, lost income, pain, and other eligible damages.

The Consumer Leasing Act (CLA) protects consumers by requiring clear and accurate disclosures in certain personal property lease agreements. If you leased a vehicle or other qualifying item, a company may violate the law by failing to properly disclose important lease terms, payment obligations, early-termination conditions, or other required information.

If you believe a leasing company misrepresented your agreement or failed to provide required disclosures, we can review your lease and the circumstances surrounding it to help you understand your legal options. The Consumer Leasing Act is a federal law, and whether it applies depends on the type of lease, the transaction, and the conduct involved. We can help you determine whether the facts may support a claim and what steps you can take to protect your rights.

Depending on the circumstances, you may be eligible to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, vehicle damage, pain and suffering, and other losses related to a car accident.

The claims process differs significantly between Michigan and Ohio. Michigan's no-fault insurance system generally provides personal protection insurance benefits for certain accident-related expenses, regardless of who caused the crash.

Under MCL 500.3135, additional claims against an at-fault driver for noneconomic damages, such as pain and suffering, are subject to specific legal requirements, including an injury threshold.

Ohio generally follows a fault-based system, under which an injured person may pursue a claim against a responsible driver, subject to applicable defenses and comparative-fault rules under Ohio Revised Code § 2315.33. Insurance coverage, the severity of your injuries, and the available evidence can all affect your recovery.

Our car accident attorney can help you evaluate your options, deal with insurance companies, and pursue compensation supported by your claim.

You may have grounds for a slip-and-fall claim if a hazardous condition on someone else's property caused your injury and the property owner or another responsible party failed to meet an applicable duty of care.

Examples may include wet floors, uneven walkways, broken stairs, poor lighting, or uncleared ice and snow. However, an injury alone does not automatically establish liability. The circumstances of the accident, the nature of the hazard, what the responsible party knew or reasonably should have known, and whether reasonable precautions were taken can all matter.

Evidence such as photographs, incident reports, witness information, surveillance footage, and medical records may help support your claim. Our slip and fall lawyer can investigate the circumstances, explain how the applicable state's law may affect your case, and help you pursue compensation for medical costs, lost wages, pain, and other recoverable losses.
