Legal Question in Mediation in Michigan

injury

I feel on a city sidewalk slab that was raised. I live in a senior building this walk is in between two buildings. I never asked for the city to pay for my medical expensies or ask for any monetay compensation. We were all sent a general letter asking us for our recommendations, ( to make our building better) I just got a letter in the mail saying that the city of Dearborn was not responsible because of a Michigan State Tort law. Now I would like for them to pay for my medical bills from the orthopedic doctor because when I feel I broke my wrist. I do have medicare and medicaid but the doctor does not except them. I am very confused as to why I even got this letter, as I stated I never asked to city for anything I just simply stated what had happened in hopes they would fix it before any one else gets hurt. Now what do I do???

Re: injury

You can contact local counsel to get some legal advice on the tort law claim AND you can contact Wayne Mediation Center to see about mediation in the event that you do have a claim or want to discuss something outside of the law. While the city of dearborn may not be responsible, it's not at all clear that you're out of luck.

If you're on assistance, contact CALL (Counseling and Advocacy Law Line), their attorneys can either help you or guide you in the right direction.
