Premise Liability Claims in Michigan
Michigan has certain laws and rules for premises liability claims. The status of the injury victim influences the liability of the property owner. For example, an individual must have been on the property legally, either as a customer, on public property, or invited to the property, either by invitation of the property owner or for commercial purposes.
Under Michigan law, property owners are required to:
-
Maintain reasonably safe conditions
-
Take measures to protect visitors from injury
-
Warn people of potential dangers or hazardous conditions
-
Routinely check for dangers
If you were injured on someone else’s property, you may be able to obtain compensation for the damages related to their injuries. Depending on the specifics of the injury, you may be eligible for compensation for your medical care, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages. We can evaluate your situation and explain how the law applies to your case.
