Michigan premise liability lawyers from 248 Lawyers P.C.

Owners are liable for their premises. From slip and fall cases to broken steps or sidewalks, call 248 Lawyers P.C. and make property owners responsible.

Michigan law requires that residential and business property owners provide secure, safe, and properly maintained premises. Regardless of how or why a person enters a property, owners have a responsibility to maintain their property and to warn people who enter the premises of any unsafe conditions. If property owners fail to notify people entering their premises of any hazardous conditions, the owner may be held legally responsible or "liable" for injuries that occur on their property. The law considers property owners who fail to meet their responsibilities negligent. The law requires that an injured victim's claim must demonstrate that negligence was a factor in their injury in order to receive compensation.

The most common premises liability cases involve individual who trip, slip, and fall because of a defect or hazard on another person's property. Other premises liability injuries may occur as the result of:

broken or cracked sidewalks
slippery or wet floors
falls on escalators and elevators
exposure to hazardous chemicals or toxic materials at work or in the home
injuries that result from the criminal acts of others due to inadequate security
failure to warn notification of a property's hazardous or unsafe condition

While many businesses and homeowners carry premises liability insurance; it is often insufficient to fully pay any significant damage compensation. In this situation, the property owner is responsible for paying the costs that insurance does not cover. Insurance companies are always anxious to minimize their costs, so it is wise to consult with premises liability lawyer prior to accepting any settlement.
