Michigan city scape in grey
Marko Law Firm

Can I sue the University of Michigan for failing to protect my data?

Possibly—if your private data was accessed due to negligence, you may have a claim under Michigan’s Identity Theft Protection Act, or even under federal laws like the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA).

But it depends on the facts:

  • Was your information actually accessed or stolen?
  • Did the university fail to implement reasonable cybersecurity safeguards?
  • Have you suffered damages (emotional distress, financial loss, reputational harm)?

Lawsuits like this often involve complex class action litigation, and proving liability requires experienced trial lawyers. At Marko Law, we’re already on the frontlines of data privacy litigation in Michigan. We’re not afraid to hold powerful institutions accountable.
