Attorney Todd Berg from Michigan Auto Law joins me to talk about the impact of the Michigan Court of Appeals ruling last week that part of the massive no-fault auto insurance reform passed in 2019 was deemed unconstitutional.

What about when crash victims who have been getting services since before the 2019 reform - when might they get help? And what about costs, have they gone down for dr...

But, it looks like it may be part of a bigger shift nationally and internationally around what retail in downtowns is and what kinds of things activate those spaces.
