Accident Due to Unsalted Streets


I was involved in a multi car accident in Kentwood, Michigan. due to icey roads. The police officers didn't issue any citations due to the fact that they could barely drive on the roads. It was a main road and should have been better salted - even the police officers agreed. Besides my accident (involving 4 cars) there was accidents both ahead of me and behind me (involving at least 2 car if not more). I was wondering if those involved in all of the accidents could file a class action lawsuit against the city for not maintaining the roads? Please help!!!

No.

Your idea has a number of problems, some are:
1) 6 or even 10 does not constitute a 'class action'.
2) Most governmental entities are exempt from 'normal' lawsuits and would first require notice, etc. as required by your state laws.
3) Icing (even on a street) is an "Act of God" and not usually under the control of any city entity.
4) You would have to show that the failure to ice was negligence or malicious.
5) And most important, the laws put the responsibility on YOU to maintain control of your vehicle and to allow for 'road conditions'.

Why has he spent over $1.35M in legal fees to block disclosure... rather than spend $12 for a VALID birth cert to settle the matter? The 'certificate' he has presented doesn't qualify to get a drivers license, wouldn't allow a child to qualify for Little League, or for a real citizen to get a US passport!
