Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere: icy sidewalks, wet grocery store floors, or poorly maintained staircases. While they may seem minor at first, these incidents can often lead to more serious injuries such as broken bones, head trauma, or long-term mobility issues.
If your fall was caused by unsafe conditions, you may have a legal right to compensation. At Krall Law Offices, we help victims of slip and fall accidents hold negligent property owners accountable and recover the damages they deserve.
Can I Sue for a Slip and Fall Accident?
In short, yes, you can sue for a slip and fall accident. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. Michigan law also considers your status on the property. Whether you were on the property as an invitee (a customer), a licensee (a guest), or a trespasser can affect your rights. If you were lawfully on the property as a customer or a guest and you are injured in a slip and fall accident, you may have a claim worth pursuing.
To succeed in a slip and fall claim, you must show that the property owner:
- Knew or should have known about the dangerous condition
- Failed to fix or warn tenants and/or visitors about the dangerous condition
- That failure caused your injury
