What is Premises Liability in Michigan?

Premises liability is a legal concept that holds property owners and occupiers responsible for accidents and injuries that occur on their property due to unsafe conditions. In Michigan, property owners have a duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition and to warn visitors of any potential hazards. When they fail to do so, they can be held liable for any resulting injuries.

Premises liability can arise in various settings, including residential, commercial, and public properties. Whether you were injured in a slip and fall accident at a grocery store, bitten by a dog at a neighbor's house, or harmed due to inadequate security at an apartment complex, you may have a premises liability claim.

What are the Elements of Proving Premises Liability?

To successfully prove a premises liability claim in Michigan, the injured party (plaintiff) must establish the following elements:

1. Duty of Care: The property owner or occupier owed a duty of care to the plaintiff. The duty of care varies depending on the plaintiff's status as an invitee, licensee, or trespasser.
2. Breach of Duty: The property owner or occupier breached their duty of care by failing to maintain the property in a reasonably safe condition or failing to warn of potential hazards.
3. Causation: The breach of duty directly caused the plaintiff's injury. It must be shown that the unsafe condition was a substantial factor in causing the injury.
4. Damages: The plaintiff suffered actual damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, or other losses, as a result of the injury.

Proving these elements requires a thorough investigation, gathering of evidence, and often the expertise of medical and safety professionals. At Grewal Law, our Okemos premises liability attorneys have the resources and experience to build a strong case on your behalf.

Common Types of Premises Liability Cases

Premises liability cases can encompass a wide range of incidents. Some of the most common types include:

• Slip and Fall Accidents: Slip and fall accidents are among the most frequent premises liability claims. These can occur due to wet floors, uneven surfaces, poorly maintained walkways, or inadequate lighting.
• Dog Bites: Property owners are responsible for ensuring their pets do not pose a danger to visitors. Dog bite incidents can result in serious injuries and are a common type of premises liability case.
• Inadequate Security: When property owners fail to provide adequate security measures, such as proper lighting, security personnel, or functioning locks, they may be held liable for injuries resulting from criminal acts on their property.
• Swimming Pool Accidents: Swimming pool accidents, including drownings, can occur due to a lack of proper fencing, supervision, or maintenance. Property owners must ensure their pools are safe for visitors.
• Elevator and Escalator Accidents: Malfunctioning elevators or escalators can cause severe injuries. Property owners and maintenance companies may be liable for failing to keep these devices in safe working order.
• Falling Objects: Injuries from falling objects, such as merchandise in a store or debris from a construction site, can result in significant harm. Property owners are responsible for securing items to prevent such accidents.
