Premises Liability

Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility of property owners or occupiers to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition for visitors and guests.

Premises liability in Michigan refers to the legal duty of property owners and occupiers to maintain safe conditions on their premises for visitors and guests. Under Michigan law, a premises liability claim can arise when a person suffers an injury due to an unsafe or hazardous condition on someone else’s property, such as a slip and fall accident caused by a spill or a defective staircase. The extent of the property owner’s liability depends on the visitor’s legal status (e.g., invitee, licensee, or trespasser) and the circumstances of the incident. Michigan’s premises liability statutes, including MCL 554.139, outline specific requirements for property owners to exercise reasonable care in maintaining their premises.
