Based on the nature of your question, the 'type' of attorney that would typically handle a case of this nature would be someone who specializes in personal injury, auto negligence cases. Many lawyers, and firms, in Michigan do not necessarily limit themselves to one 'type' of practice but those headings are what you would look for.

I assume you mean the brake caliper. A lawyer who does personal injury work, and in particular has tried cases on defective products or workmanship would be best.

If you were injured a personal injury attorney. If the auto was just damaged the a contract attorney.

Call your insurance company and explain the situation. Also confer with an attorney. The ultimate lability may well be the repair shops. If you are in or this pertains to Michigan, you are welcome to call and retain Musilli Brennan Associates with details.

The first question is what damages you suffered. If it just was a faulty repair and no accident occurred, then you would not be able to recover anything in damages. If it did result in an auto accident, then you would see a plaintiff's personal injury attorney.

Assuming you were injured, a personal injury lawyer. If not, you could consider Small Claims Court if the damages are under $10,000. The word is caliper; it?s the part that goes around the disc and holds the brake pads.

No lawyer, since you indicate no accident and no loss after the thing was installed or fell off. If they don't fix/replace the problem get it photographed, inspected, and priced by a reputable shop which will. No attorney wants to pursue that on a contingent-fee basis and no reasonable victim wants to pay hundreds of dollars for an attorney's representation.

It depends on if you were injured in the collision or if it just caused property damage. If you were injured, you would want a personal injury lawyer. If only property damage was caused, just let your insurance company know what happened and then they can go after the shop's insurance to pay for damages.

You would need a litigation attorney. If you have not had an accident as a result of the caliper falling off and, they corrected the problem, you have no damages to get any compensation from them.

You should call a personal injury lawyer. I, like most personal injury lawyers, offer free case evaluations and don't charge anything unless there is a recovery.
