Slip and Fall Injuries

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.
