Your Trusted Legal Partner

Premises liability cases in Michigan—such as slip and falls, unsafe conditions, or negligent security—can lead to serious injuries and complex legal battles. Property owners have a duty to maintain safe environments, but proving liability and recovering compensation often requires legal expertise. An experienced attorney can make all the difference in the outcome of your case.

Understanding Michigan Premises Liability Law

Michigan law requires property owners to keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors. However, the law also distinguishes between invitees, licensees, and trespassers, each with different legal rights. An attorney understands these distinctions and helps determine whether you have a viable claim based on the facts of your case.

Proving Negligence and Building a Case

To succeed in a premises liability claim, you must show that the property owner knew—or should have known—about the dangerous condition and failed to address it. This often requires detailed evidence, including photographs, maintenance records, witness statements, and expert analysis. A skilled attorney will gather this evidence and build a strong case on your behalf.

Dealing with Insurance Companies

Insurance companies may try to deny liability or argue that the injured person is partially at fault. An attorney handles all communication and negotiation with insurers, protects your rights, and fights for the full compensation you deserve.

Recovering Full Compensation

Injuries from unsafe property conditions can lead to medical bills, lost income, and long-term pain or disability. An attorney helps calculate the full extent of your damages, including current and future losses, and pursues the maximum compensation available.

Handling Legal Procedures and Deadlines

Premises liability cases involve strict legal deadlines and procedural requirements. An attorney ensures that all filings are timely and accurate, preserving your right to pursue a claim. Call the attorneys at Brown and Brown, PLC today to discuss your potential claim!
