Types of Civil Litigation Cases
JKH Law handles a wide variety civil litigation cases. Common types of civil litigation cases are explained below:
Contract Disputes
Contract dispute claims arise when one party fails to uphold their obligations under a legally binding agreement. These disputes can involve nonpayment, breach of service terms, missed deadlines, or failure to deliver goods or services as promised. In Michigan, parties may seek legal remedies such as damages, specific performance, or contract rescission. Strong contracts and clear enforcement through litigation or negotiation can help protect your rights and ensure accountability when agreements are broken. Learn more here.
Insurance Disputes
Insurance disputes are a specific type of contract dispute which arise when an insurance company wrongfully delays, underpays, or denies valid claims. These disputes can involve auto, health, homeowners, disability, or other types of coverage. In Michigan, insurers have a duty to act in good faith and honor the terms of their policies. When they fail to do so, policyholders may pursue legal action to recover the benefits they are entitled to, along with potential additional damages. Strong advocacy can help level the playing field and hold insurance companies accountable for unfair practices. Learn more here.
Business Disputes
Business dispute claims arise when conflicts occur between companies, partners, shareholders, or other business entities over issues such as contract breaches, fiduciary duties, intellectual property, or liability issues. These disputes can threaten operations, profits, and professional relationships. In Michigan, business litigation may involve claims for damages, injunctive relief, or enforcement of agreements. Strategic legal action can help protect your business interests, resolve conflicts efficiently, and minimize disruption to ongoing operations. Learn more here.
Mass Torts
Mass tort cases involve widespread harm caused by dangerous products, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, or environmental exposure. Individual claims are filed in state or federal court but are often coordinated in Multidistrict litigation (MDL) for efficient discovery and bellwether trials. We evaluate eligibility, preserve evidence, work with qualified experts, and pursue compensation for medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering while keeping you informed at each step.

Employment Matters
Employment dispute claims involve conflicts between employers and employees over issues such as wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or unpaid wages and benefits. In Michigan, employees are protected by both state and federal laws that safeguard workplace rights and prohibit unlawful employment practices. These claims can lead to remedies including reinstatement, back pay, compensation for emotional distress, and other damages. Holding employers accountable through legal action helps ensure fair treatment and a safe, respectful workplace. Learn more here.
Property & Real Estate
Property and real estate dispute claims involve conflicts over ownership, boundaries, easements, purchase agreements, leases, or property damage. These disputes can arise between neighbors, buyers and sellers, landlords and tenants, or developers and municipalities. In Michigan, clear property rights and contract terms are essential, but when disagreements occur, legal action may be necessary to protect ownership interests, enforce agreements, or resolve damage issues. Effective representation can help safeguard your property rights and achieve fair, lasting resolutions. Learn more here.
