The National Safety Council estimates that nearly 9 million visits to the emergency room are due to falling accidents. Another 800,000 trips to the ER are caused by dog bites. When these scenarios occur because the owner of the property or animal is negligent, you may be entitled to compensation.
Premises liability holds a landowner responsible when someone enters their property and is injured due to a dangerous condition. Call a Michigan premises liability lawyer if you’ve sustained injuries that have had long-lasting effects on your life because of:
- Poor lighting that caused you to fall
- Faulty steps or stairs
- Cracked sidewalks or walking paths
- Falling objects
- Dog attack
Don’t let someone else’s negligence cause a financial burden for you or your family. If your injury could have been prevented, contact Thurswell Law today. Our personal injury attorneys will fight to get you the monetary compensation you deserve.
How Does Michigan Law Handle Premises Liability Claims?
Michigan classifies non-property owners on a property into three categories: invitees, licensees, and trespassers. The property owner where the person was injured owes a different level of care for each classification. Most personal injury claims fall under the invitee category. This includes people who are lawfully on the property for the benefit of both parties. For example, customers in a store, tenants in an apartment complex, or guests at a hotel are usually invitees. Invitees receive the highest duty of care of the three classifications. This includes inspecting the area for hazards, fixing dangerous conditions, and warning visitors of any risks that are known.
Licensees can include friends visiting a home. They are owed a lesser duty of care than invitees in Michigan. However, they need to be warned of any known dangers that are not obvious. Trespassers, on the other hand, are generally owed the least duty. However, property owners cannot willfully harm a trespasser. There are also exceptions for child trespassers, such as in attractive nuisance cases involving pools, trampolines, or abandoned structures.
Our legal team understands these distinctions and how to build a case around the specific facts of your situation. Whether you tripped on uneven pavement, fell on decrypted stairs, or were electrocuted by a live wire, Thurswell Law can help show that negligence was the cause of your injury. Our team of premises liability lawyers in Michigan knows how to prove that the property owner failed to take reasonable steps to keep you safe.
