Premises liability is a legal concept in Michigan that holds property owners responsible for injuries sustained by visitors due to unsafe conditions on their premises. Under this doctrine, property owners have a duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions and address potential hazards to prevent foreseeable harm. Slip and fall accidents, dog bites, and other incidents stemming from negligent property maintenance may give rise to premises liability claims. Michigan’s premises liability laws, including MCL 554.139, outline specific obligations for different visitor classifications. If injured on someone else’s property, consulting a skilled premises liability lawyer from The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm can ensure your rights are protected and you receive fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, or even wrongful death in severe cases involving traumatic brain injuries.
