Once again ... our State Legislature has failed to write laws that protect citizens from stupid shit like this .

If you are hurt at work, all you can get from work is workmans comp. It is pretty much impossible for an employee to sue the employer for a workplace accident in Michigan.

Years ago a friend of mine was running for office, came to my work seeking donations to his campaign. At the time, I asked him how come the legislature cannot write new legislation and get our auto insurance under control as at the time Mich was by far the most expensive. He kinda chuckled and said he did his volunteer college internship at the State Capital. He said a little know fact that just about every lawmaker in MI also works for the insurance industry. He said insurance companies seek them out and hire them as consultants, or donate heavily to their campaigns. He said none of them are going to shoot themselves in the foot. Not sure how true that is today, but it sure seems like it.

*** unless said injury is a result of negligence by the employer(known faulty equip., etc)

This last batch of Michigan auto laws that took effect is a total cluster fuck. You can tell the insurance industry wrote the laws.
Currently dealing with insurance/hospitable invoices, keep getting different answers from the insurance company/s.. liability keeps getting switched.

that would be your state government. not the insurance industry

You can not sue your employer for megligence. You can only sue if there is intentional tort, which means they committed an act on purpose that resulted in the injury. If the owner altered a machine on purpose, then you have a case. If the machine was just faulty, there is no case.

if employer KNOWS of said fault, does not fix said fault, and allows said faulty machine to be used, yes you can

That only applies if they knew about it AND knew that there was a probabiity of it injuring the employee AND the fault is what caused the injury. Then there is a slight chance of winning a lawsuit.

So let's say you give your keys to a person, then that person gives the keys to someone else, isn't that considered grand theft auto?
