Slip and Fall Accidents in Stores

Michigan slip and fall injury lawyers represent clients injured due to slippery conditions at grocery stores, department stores, and other retail businesses. These include falls due to wet floors, slippery substances on store floors, water, melted snow or ice, spilled or smashed produce items, and other spilled liquids. These types of falls can result in very serious injuries, including but not limited back injuries, neck injuries, fractured bones, hip injuries, knee injuries, as well as traumatic brain injuries.

Under Michigan law, a storekeeper has a duty to provide reasonably safe aisles for customers and is liable for injuries resulting from unsafe conditions caused, among other reasons, by the active negligence of the storekeeper or his or her employees. The injured person must prove either that the storekeeper caused the unsafe condition or that the storekeeper knew or should have known of the unsafe condition. In addition, the injured person must be able to prove what caused him or her to slip and fall.

It is important to report the injury incident to the store manager or other store personnel immediately after the accident. Many times, the store manager will make a written report of the injury accident which often includes important information, such as the date and time of the injury, the condition that caused the injury, the names of any eyewitnesses or store employees with knowledge of the incident, and a description of the injury or physical complaints of the injured customer. Also, the store manager will even take a photograph of the defective condition. These things will all provide important evidence to support a legal claim filed at a later date.

The insurance company for the store will often have an adjuster contact the injured customer as soon as possible after the accident before the injured person speaks with a lawyer. The adjuster is trained to get the injured person to say things that may later ruin their slip and fall case. Speaking to an adjuster before you hire a lawyer is a mistake for that reason. Our free book, “The Ultimate Michigan Injury Handbook,” explains the legal process for Michigan slip and fall accidents and includes the biggest mistakes that will ruin your Michigan personal injury case.

Due to the complexities involved in slip and fall cases, you should contact the Michigan slip and fall accident lawyers at Buckfire & Buckfire P.C. to see if you have a case.

Testimonials

The insurance company refused to pay my benefits. Mr. Buckfire filed a lawsuit against them and made them pay every penny that they owed... Every time I see my doctor, I thank her again for the referral to Buckfire & Buckfire.

Michael M.
Southern California

Because of his efforts, we proved that the other driver was at fault and the driver's insurance company paid a significant settlement for our injury claims... Hiring his firm to represent my son and myself was the best decision I could have possibly made. Many thanks for the great work.

My husband died when a truck left the roadway and struck him. He was off the shoulder of the roadway helping another motorist pull his car out of a snow bank The work that they did helped me settle my Michigan wrongful death case for $1,600,000.00. Their knowledge of law was second to none and they hired the best experts to prove my case.
