Our attorneys understand the severity of many fall injuries and will not downplay the expenses and losses you endured.

- Lost Income: Missed wages, tips, commissions, gig work, and other income while they could not work and reduced earning ability if they cannot return to work in the same capacity in the future
- Related Expenses: Documented costs related to the fall, injuries, and treatment, such as travel costs or home renovations for mobility reasons

Our Saginaw Attorneys Know How Slip and Fall Cases Work
Our Saginaw, MI, lawyers handle any type of fall injury case. This includes slips, trips, falls from an elevated height, stair falls, balcony or railing collapses, and more. If you or a loved one fell and suffered serious injuries while on someone else’s property, we are here for you.
We investigate the incident and build a case to show the property owner or lessee was negligent. These parties, depending on the lease agreement, are generally responsible for preventing hazards on their property. This includes both buildings and premises.
When a hazard occurs and is not remedied, falls often occur and lead to injuries. Our attorneys can build a case to hold the liable party accountable for your Saginaw fall. This could include individuals, restaurants, shops, stores, theaters, malls, offices, parking lots, and other locations.
How Do We Recover Compensation for Victims?
We often negotiate a fair settlement for our client long before the case is set for trial. However, this is not always true. We will sue the liable party and prepare for a jury trial when necessary. For falls in Saginaw County, We will most likely file a lawsuit in the 10th Judicial Circuit Court in Saginaw.
Under Michigan Compiled Laws § 600.5805, we usually have up to three years to sue based on fall injuries. However, exceptions are common, and you may have less time. Contact us as soon as possible to protect your rights.
