Liability for Slip and Fall Accident Damages in a Jackson Injury Case
Liability for slip-and-fall accident damages will rest with a negligent property owner or manager. The at-fault party could be a private property owner, business owner, or government entity.
Our premises liability lawyers will demonstrate negligence by establishing the following:
- Duty of care. We will show that you were on the property by expressed or implied invitation (i.e., legally on the property and not trespassing), and the property owner, therefore, had a legal obligation to keep the premises in a reasonably safe condition for your visit.
- Breach of duty. We will prove that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazardous condition that caused your accident and failed to remedy it, thus breaching their duty of care.
- Causation. We will establish that the unsafe condition was a direct cause of your slip and fall injury.
- Damages. We will demonstrate that your injury resulted in financial losses and pain and suffering.
Common Causes of Slips, Trips, and Falls
Negligent property conditions that can cause a slip, trip, and fall accident include:
- Broken, loose, or cracked flooring
- Wet or slippery floors
- Obstructed walkways or stairwells
- Clutter, trash, or debris
- Broken sidewalks and potholes
- Unsafe stairs, including broken floorboards, slippery steps, and loose railings
- Lack of lighting or hand railings
- Failure to warn visitors about known hazards
Whether you were visiting the local planetarium or tripped at a business during the Bright Walls art festival, you deserve compensation for someone’s negligence.

Michigan’s Slip and Fall Lawsuit Statute of Limitations for Jackson Accidents
We may be able to recover compensation for your slip and fall injury with a liability claim against the at-fault party’s property insurance. To avoid missing policy deadlines, you should inform involved insurers about your accident and intent to file a claim as soon as possible.
If we must take legal action to get the money you deserve, we will not hesitate. However, we must file your lawsuit before Michigan’s statute of limitations for personal injury expires. According to Mich. Comp. Laws Ann. § 600.5805, you have three years to take legal action.
