On 11/29/2017, I went to a touchless car wash where a machine broke down and fell on an angle within inches of my car, trapping me inside. I was sprayed with hundreds of pounds of water pressure until the machine stopped. Had I been one more inch inside the bay, my car (Audi A8) would have been totaled, and I could have been seriously hurt or killed. Do I have standing to bring any type of legal action against this company, and if so, what would be the violation? I am thinking some type of negligence for not properly maintaining the equipment and emotional distress as I had a complete and full meltdown in front of the police who I had to call after the attendant hung up when I called inside the gas station to inform them their machine fell down and trapped me inside. I live in Muskegon, MI, and I filed a police report at the time of the incident. The car was not damaged, nor was I physically damaged, but it scared me, and I saw my doctor for anxiety meds.

I bought a 2016 Maserati from Autonation. I financed it, signed all the paperwork on 12/04/2017, and have not received the paperwork to get my license plate from the office. They just called me and told me I owe them another $582 for taxes they messed up on and will not submit the paperwork until I pay them an additional $582. Is this legal for them to do?

I booked a round trip first class with Swiss International Airlines from ZRH to JFK. On the way back, my connecting flight to JFK was canceled by Delta due to an airport closure from a snow storm. Delta claims no responsibility due to an act of God, and Swiss is unwilling to rebook my JFK to ZRH flight, insisting I need to buy new one-way tickets at a cost of 6500 USD per person. What are my rights and options in this situation?

Is a public school Varsity coach considered a public official, and is it a conflict of interest for him to play his 8th-grade son on the Varsity squad when the numbers are good? Additionally, is the coach considered a state employee because their salary comes from state and federal funds?
