Detroit Accident Attorneys Answer Your Legal Questions

Q: What should I do if I fall or otherwise get injured on someone else's property?

A: First, seek medical treatment for your injuries and make sure to tell the doctor or hospital personnel that you were injured as the result of a fall. You should also get in touch with an attorney who has experience handling premises liability cases. Attorneys at The Thurswell Law Firm have been successfully handling premises liability claims for over 40 years.

In Michigan, you have a certain period of time from the date of your fall or injury to file a lawsuit. The timeframe you have to file a lawsuit varies depending on the location of your fall. Therefore, it is important to talk to an attorney as soon as possible.

In addition, an attorney will want to take action immediately in order to preserve evidence related to your fall or injury. Under current Michigan law, you must know what it is that caused you to fall or otherwise be injured, or you cannot successfully proceed with a claim against the property owner.
