Michigan Trip and Fall Lawyers
Trip and fall accidents are often sudden and unexpected, but they can lead to serious injuries that disrupt your life. Whether you tripped over uneven pavement, cluttered walkways, or poorly maintained flooring, you may be entitled to compensation through a trip and fall lawsuit if the property owner has failed to keep the area safe. We help trip and fall victims hold negligent property owners accountable and recover the compensation they need to heal and move forward.
Common Tripping Hazards
Trip and falls typically occur when a person’s foot strikes an object or uneven surface, causing them to lose balance. Common causes include:
- Raised or cracked sidewalks
- Loose carpeting or floorboards
- Poor lighting in stairwells or hallways
- Electrical cords or clutter in walkways
- Unmarked elevation changes or steps
These trip hazards are often preventable, so when property owners fail to address them, they may be held liable for any injuries that result.
Proving Liability in a Trip and Fall Case
To succeed in a trip and fall claim, you must show that:
- The property owner knew or should have known about the hazard
- They failed to fix it or warn visitors
- That failure caused your injury
- You suffered damages, such as medical bills or lost wages
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.
