Michigan Slip and Fall Attorney

Slip, Trip and Fall Accidents in Michigan

Slip and fall accidents account for thousands of injuries and numerous deaths each year. Under premises liability laws, property owners have a duty to uphold certain standards of safety on their property in order to safeguard others from harm. A property manager who either does not notify visitors of potential dangers or does not fix the hazardous condition on his or her property within a reasonable amount of time may be held liable for damages. Compensation may be due for medical bills, loss of wages, pain and suffering, income reduction, rehabilitation, and necessary health aids. Discuss your situation with a Michigan personal injury lawyer at our firm if you have recently been the victim of premises negligence and wish to pursue compensation for your injuries.

Premises Liability Lawyer for Slip and Fall Injuries

Premises liability laws are the determining factor in whether or not the property owner is at fault. Property owners must reasonably prevent accidents by maintaining their property. If any unsafe condition is found, it must be sufficiently warned against until it can be remedied. The legal aid of a slip and fall victim is charged with proving that the property owner was aware, or should have been aware, of the condition that caused the accident and injury. Conditions which could cause slip and fall accidents include wet ground, obstructions in the walkways, insufficient lighting, uneven steps, broken floor tiles, and upended carpets.
