Slip and Fall

Slip and fall accidents can happen in grocery stores, parking lots, sidewalks, apartment buildings, and other public or private properties. When a property owner fails to maintain safe conditions, serious injuries can result.

These cases often involve complex legal standards. Property owners are not automatically responsible for every fall. Liability depends on factors such as notice of the hazard, maintenance practices, and whether reasonable steps were taken to prevent harm.

Injuries from slip and fall incidents may include broken bones, head injuries, back injuries, and long-term mobility issues. Medical bills, lost wages, and ongoing treatment can create financial strain.

TJY Law represents individuals who have been injured due to unsafe property conditions. The firm evaluates the circumstances of each case and works to determine whether negligence played a role.

Slip and fall cases may involve:

  • Wet or slippery floors
  • Uneven sidewalks or walkways
  • Poor lighting
  • Ice and snow accumulation
  • Hazardous conditions left unaddressed

Each case depends on the specific facts, available evidence, and applicable Michigan law.

How We Help With Slip and Fall Cases

  • Review of the incident and available evidence
  • Investigation of property maintenance and safety practices
  • Communication with property owners and insurance carriers
  • Evaluation of damages, including medical expenses and lost wages
  • Representation in settlement negotiations or litigation when necessary

What Should I Do After a Slip and Fall Accident?

Seek medical attention right away, even if injuries do not appear severe at first. Some injuries may worsen over time. Report the incident to the property owner or manager and request a written report if possible. If safe to do so, document the scene and any visible hazards. Preserving evidence and acting promptly can be important in protecting your rights.

You must generally show that the property owner knew or should have known about a dangerous condition and failed to address it.

Warning signs may affect liability, depending on the circumstances and visibility of the hazard.

Michigan law sets specific deadlines for personal injury claims. Missing these deadlines may prevent recovery.

Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages depending on the case.

Premises liability cases often involve detailed legal analysis and insurance negotiations. Legal guidance can help clarify your options.
