• DID YOU KNOW, that the chief judges of all lower courts in Michigan are appointed by the Michigan Supreme Court and no longer by other judges on the bench in that circuit or district?  Why?  So that all the courts in Michigan can be controlled by the ultra-conservative, Federalist Society agenda of the majority Republican Michigan Supreme Court.

• DID YOU KNOW, the Michigan Supreme Court and Michigan Court of Appeals has ruled that if you are walking across a parking lot and trip in a hole and are severely injured, the premises owner may not be held liable—even if your are blind?  Why? Because of the open and obvious doctrine. This gives premises owners a defense that if the defect was open and obvious, they cannot be held liable.

• DID YOU KNOW, the Michigan Supreme Court and Court of Appeals has ruled that you could be sitting at a red light and someone talking on a cell phone slams into the back of your car, and although the other driver is ticketed and you suffer an injury that keeps you from working for say six months, you cannot recover for any pain and suffering?  Why?  Because the Michigan Supreme Court has ruled that even if you’re disabled and off work for six months, if you are able to return to work, as “your ability to lead your normal life has not been affected.”

• DID YOU KNOW, the Michigan Supreme Court and Court of Appeals has ruled that if your young child is severely injured in an automobile accident and you do not discover the injury or the extent of the injury within one year, you can’t recover? Why? Because of the statute of limitations; the time the law requires you to bring your lawsuit, is gone and the child cannot receive first party automobile no fault benefits.  This means if a one year old is in an automobile accident and suffers a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) , if you don’t discover it by the time the child is two, the child has no recovery.  The Michigan Supreme Court changed the statute of limitation from the time the child reaches his 19th birthday to the restrictive one (1) year law
  
  
• DID YOU KNOW, that if you or a loved one is injured or dies from a defective prescription drug, you cannot file a lawsuit against the pharmaceutical company in the State of Michigan? Why? Because the Michigan Supreme Court changed the law to give companies complete immunity.
  


• DID YOU KNOW, there may companies polluting the air and soil in your neighborhood with toxic substances and the Michigan Supreme Court has ruled you do not have the right, or in legal terms “standing,” to take legal action against the polluters, unless you are directly effected.  Why?  Because the agenda of the Michigan Supreme Court is to protect big business and erode the rights of citizens.
