Slip and Fall Cases
     An owner of  land, property, homes, stairs, stores, etc., owes certain duties to individuals upon their property.  As an example; an owner of a business has a duty to maintain the business in a reasonably safe condition.  A reasonably safe condition means that there can not be slippery substances upon a walking area if the owner or proprietor knew or should have known of the condition.  In fact they have an actual duty to exercise ordinary care to protect a customer or guest from unreasonable risk of injury that was or should have been known.  Likewise, the lack of handrails along stairs would also be reason to possibly pursue a cause of action if indeed the missing handrail caused or contributed to the fall.
     There are numerous duties that a property owner owes to a person upon their premises depending upon the type of property and the reason that the injured person was upon the property.
If you have been injured and would like to discuss the matter or have any questions, pertaining to personal injury law, please call Mr. Elliott at 248-334-1500 or 800-755-2636.
