SLIP AND FALL

Persons injured in Michigan as a result of slip and fall or other premises liability accidents have found it increasingly difficult to receive compensation as a result of the Michigan Supreme Court case Lugo v Ameritech, which was decided on July 3, 2001. The Supreme Court applied the open and obvious defense in a strict fashion, and those persons with claims must be able to show the hazard that created their injury was either not open or obvious or had special aspects to it that created an unreasonable risk of harm. Therefore, it is now even more important to be represented by counsel who knows the nuances of this area of law and is able to flush out the facts to enable a jury to decide the issues of your case.
