We Will Prove a Negligent Property Owner Is Liable for Your Damages
Property owners, managers, or those “in control” of a premises have a duty to keep their property maintained and safe for visitors. This duty includes addressing known hazards or warning people about dangerous conditions, including:
- Cracked or broken flooring or concrete
- Ripped or torn carpeting
- Unsecured cords and cables
- Obstructed walkways
- Broken stairs or handrails
- Lack of adequate lighting
Our lawyers can investigate your accident and prove that a property owner acted negligently by failing to make repairs or prevent visitors from encountering hazardous areas. Evidence in a slip and fall case may include:
- Photographs and video of the negligent property conditions
- Surveillance video or cell phone footage of the accident
- Police reports or official accident reports
- Eyewitness testimony
- Medical records
Slip and Fall Defenses
According to Mich. Comp. Laws Ann. § 554.583, property owners usually do not owe a duty of care to trespassers. Therefore, defendants in a slip and fall case may try to argue that you were not legally on the property at the time of your accident.
Liable parties may also allege that your own negligence contributed to your fall, which could reduce your compensation or even negate your right to recover non-economic damages under Mich. Comp. Laws Ann. § 600.2959. Our attorneys can fight back if at-fault parties attempt to blame you for the accident.
