Two common types of injury claims are Slip & Fall and Trip &
Fall cases. In legal terms, these are Premises Liability legal actions.
A Michigan slip and fall liability case can be filed by a victim who is
hurt because of the negligence or carelessness of someone else.
Unfortunately, thousands of Michigan slip and fall accident victims are
eligible to make these claims every year, after suffering injuries
caused by property owners who failed to use reasonable care to warn of
hazards or remove dangerous conditions from their property.
The following are some of the dangerous conditions that can cause injury and may be the basis for a premises liability claim:
Standing puddles of water
Uncleared snow
Clear ice
Black ice
Inadequate lighting
Defective flooring
Improperly secured mats
Stairways and steps that violate building safety codes
Hidden drop-offs
Concealed holes
It is doubtful that any area of Michigan personal injury law has
undergone more change than premises liability. Unfortunately, recent
Michigan Supreme Court decisions have placed stricter limits on the
ability of an injured party to bring a claim.
