Traverse City Slip & Fall Lawyer
From icy sidewalks in January to wet floors at a Front Street business, negligent property owners don't get a free pass.
Property Owners Have Lawyers Too — So Should You
The moment you report a fall, a property owner's insurer starts building a defense. You need a team building your case just as quickly.
That means securing surveillance footage before it's erased, pulling maintenance logs before they're "lost," and lining up expert witnesses who can explain exactly how negligence caused your injury.
It's the kind of coordinated, trial-ready preparation that comes from decades of combined experience — and it's what turns a case insurance companies want to dismiss into one they have to take seriously.

Property Owners Have a Duty to Keep You Safe
Northern Michigan winters mean ice, slush, and unsalted walkways — conditions that turn a quick errand into a serious injury. Year-round, unsafe stairs, wet floors, and poor lighting at local businesses create the same risk.
Insurance adjusters move quickly to minimize these claims, calling them "just a fall." We move faster — gathering maintenance records, securing surveillance footage, and interviewing witnesses before evidence disappears.
Whether it happened at a downtown retail shop, an apartment complex, or a parking lot that wasn't properly plowed, property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe — and we hold them to it.

What To Do After a Slip & Fall
Insurance companies begin protecting themselves immediately. You should too.
Seek medical attention immediately
Even "minor" injuries like a concussion or soft tissue damage may not be obvious right away.
Report the incident
Notify the property owner, store manager, or landlord immediately and request a copy of any incident report.
Document the scene
Photograph the hazard, lack of warning signs, lighting, and your visible injuries — hazards get cleaned up fast.
Get witness information
Names and contact info from anyone who saw the fall or the unsafe condition can change the outcome of your case.
Preserve your shoes and clothing
Do not wash or discard what you were wearing — it may become important evidence.

Slip & Fall FAQ
Answers to common questions about premises liability cases in Michigan.
How do I know if I have a valid slip and fall case?
You typically must show that a property owner knew — or should have known — about a dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn you. These cases often involve maintenance failures or ignored hazards.
How long do I have to file a slip and fall lawsuit in Michigan?
Generally three years from the date of the accident. If the claim involves government property, notice requirements may be far shorter — sometimes just 60 days.
What if I was partially at fault for the fall?
Michigan follows a modified comparative fault rule. You may still recover compensation as long as you were not more than 50% at fault, though your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
How much is my slip and fall case worth?
Case value depends on the severity of injuries, medical treatment costs, long-term impairment, lost income, and the strength of the liability evidence.
