The Causes of Michigan Slip-and-Fall Injuries

"Slip-and-fall" is a term used for a personal injury case in which a person slips or trips and falls, sustaining injuries on someone else's property. These types of dangerous accidents account for over one million serious injuries and 17,000 deaths each year in the United States alone.

Michigan slip-and-fall accidents can occur at virtually any time.

Regardless of their nature, slip-and-fall accidents often result in severe injuries including: sprains, broken bones, severe head, neck or back trauma, and fatalities.

Slip-and-fall accidents can occur nearly anywhere-on public or private property, indoors or outdoors. A trip-and-fall accident can take place as a result of hazards, such as:

• Adverse weather conditions (rain, snow, or ice)
• Obstructions or cracks in the floor or walkway
• Slippery and dangerous flooring
• Inadequate or improper lighting

If you or someone you know has suffered from a slip-and-fall injury as the result of the negligent property of a business owner, you should not be forced to pay for the resulting pile of medical bills and the associated costs.
