Slip and Fall premise liability lawyers from 248 Lawyers P.C.

Owners are liable for their premises. From slip and fall cases to broken steps or sidewalks, call 248 Lawyers P.C. and hold property owners responsible.

Michigan law requires residential and business property owners to provide safe, secure, and properly maintained premises. Regardless of how or why a person enters a property, owners are obligated to maintain their property and warn people of a premises unsafe condition(s). Negligent property owners, whom fail to warn of a premises hazardous condition(s), may be held liable for injuries sustained on their property. At that point, the law considers property owners negligent due to failure of their responsibilities. In addition, the law requires an injured victim's claim must demonstrate a negligence factor in their injury to establish compensation.

The most common premises liability cases involve individuals who trip, slip, and fall because of a defect or hazard on another person's property. Other premises liability injuries may result from:

  • broken or cracked sidewalks
  • slippery or wet floors
  • falls on escalators and elevators
  • exposure to hazardous chemicals or toxic materials at work or in the home
  • injuries that result from the criminal acts of others due to inadequate security
  • failure to warn notification of a property's hazardous or unsafe condition

While many businesses and homeowners carry premises liability insurance, it is often insufficient to redress any significant damage compensation. In this situation, the property owner is responsible for paying costs not covered by the insurance company. Moreover, insurance companies are anxious to minimize costs. Therefore, consultation with a premises liability lawyer is strongly suggested before accepting any settlement offer.
