Detroit Premises Liability Attorney

Premises liability is a body of law concerned with accidents and injuries that occur on another's property, and the property owner's legal accountability for these incidents. A property owner is not always responsible for any injury that occurs on his or her property grounds; there are rather particular instances where negligence or wrongdoing will result in the owner being legally responsible. In Michigan, a person injured on the property of another person or entity may be able to seek financial compensation for his or her injuries by filing a lawsuit in civil court. However, it is important to first evaluate the merits of your case.

A Michigan premises liability attorney can talk to you about the incident and can evaluate the situation to determine whether you may have grounds to file a lawsuit. An attorney can also work to determine the potential value of your claim in order to seek full financial compensation for medical expenses, any lost earnings and more.

Key Parts of a Detroit Premises Liability Claim

For a person who is interested in filing a premises liability claim in Michigan, it will be important to understand the key parts of a case of this kind. Your lawyer will need to establish:

• The defendant (the person you are bringing a case against) was in control or possession of the property where the incident occurred.
• You were lawfully on the defendant's property.
• The defendant violated his or her obligation to visitors or customers at the property in some way (failed to maintain property grounds, knew of a dangerous condition and failed to remedy this, failed to place a warning sign to inform visitors of potential danger, etc.)
• You were injured.
• The property owner's negligence was the proximate (probable) cause of your injuries.
