Grand Rapids Premises Liability Attorneys

Suffered an Injury at a Residential or Commercial Property in Grand Rapids, MI?

When you are on someone else's property, you expect to be kept safe. Whether you are at a store, a restaurant, or another type of business, you have the right to expect that the property owner or manager will take reasonable steps to ensure your safety.

If you were injured while on someone else's property, you may be wondering what rights you have and whether you are entitled to compensation. Our Grand Rapids premises liability lawyers at Grewal Law can help you understand your options and guide you through the process of filing a claim.

What is Premises Liability?

Premises liability is a specific type of personal injury law that holds property owners and managers responsible for injuries that happen on their property. If you were injured while on someone else's property and can prove that your injuries were caused by a dangerous condition, you may be able to file a claim.

Common types of premises liability cases include:

• Slip and fall accidents
• Swimming pool accidents
• Amusement park accidents
• Accidents caused by falling objects
• Construction site accidents
• Inadequate security cases
• Exposure to toxic substances
• Elevator/escalator accidents

What Duties Do Property Owners Have?

Property owners have a duty to keep their property safe. This means that they must take reasonable steps to protect those who are legally on their property. In some cases, the property owner must also take steps to protect those who are not legally on their property.

Property owner duties include:

• Regularly inspecting the property for dangerous conditions
• Repairing or correcting dangerous conditions in a reasonable amount of time
• Providing adequate warnings of dangerous conditions
• Ensuring that the property is reasonably safe

For example, if a property owner knows that the roof is leaking and has not taken steps to correct the issue, they may be held liable for any injuries that result from the leak. However, if the property owner did not know that the roof was leaking, they may not be held liable for any injuries that occur. Our premises liability lawyers in Grand Rapids can help you understand the specific duties that the property owner had and whether they failed to meet those duties.
