Slip and Fall Cases We Help With

Slip and Fall Case Types

If you are searching for a slip and fall attorney in Michigan it means you may have already experienced an injury due to an unsafe property. At Giroux Pappas Trial attorneys. We hold business and property owners accountable for their duty to maintain safe conditions on their premises. These premises liability cases often come down to a simple principle: property owners and business operators must ensure that their property is reasonably safe for customers and other visitors.

Michigan law requires that we prove that the owner knew, or should have known, about the dangerous condition on their property and failed to correct it or, at a minimum, warn visitors about it. We have experience in a number of premises liability cases that extends beyond slip and fall incidents and includes injuries arising from:

01

Icy or Snowy Conditions

In Michigan, we face severe winter weather conditions for several months every year but this does not relieve business and property owners from taking reasonable measures to remove ice and snow from their parking lots and sidewalks.
02

Uneven Cement

Over time sidewalks and flooring can shift and cause serious tripping hazards. Property owners and even municipalities can be liable for failing to address uneven sidewalks. Pursuing a trip and fall claim against a city or municipality falls under certain legal exceptions and requires extensive knowledge and an experienced Michigan Slip and Fall attorney to navigate the claims and notice provisions.
03

Poor Lighting

Inadequate lighting is often a contributing factor in slip and fall cases. If the property or business owner failed to provide lighting in the area of the fall this becomes an important factor in establishing liability.
04

Wet Floors

Property and business owners have a duty to inspect for spills, leaks and other slippery conditions on their premises. Their failure to timely address slippery conditions is an important factor to hold them liable for your injuries.

Do I Have a Case?


Whether it was a puddle of liquid, an icy sidewalk, a faulty railing or an uneven step, slip and fall attorneys in Michigan must prove that the property or business owner failed to take reasonable care of their premises and that there was a defect that caused the fall.

The extent of medical treatment, amount of medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering caused by the slip and fall are all significant factors in determining the amount of compensation you may be entitled to.

In most slip and fall cases, you have three years to file a claim. However, claims against the government, cities, or municipalities can be much shorter.

Insurance companies tend to move quickly to settle for less than a claim is truly worth. If you haven’t accepted an offer, our experienced attorneys can help you understand what your case may actually be worth.

Photographic evidence of the hazard that caused the fall is important to obtain at the scene. Property owners and insurance companies are often swift to fix the hazard after a fall which can lead to challenges demonstrating what the hazardous condition looked like when the fall occurred.

A Trip and Fall Case Leads to a $750,000 Settlement

 A 59-year-old woman fell and sustained a compound, comminuted fracture of her left femur because the Defendant failed to maintain and/or repair the uneven, irregular, concrete step at the entrance/exit of its restaurant. This ultimately resulted in her death due to exsanguination following an attempted surgical repair.
