What is a Slip & Fall Accident?

Slip-and-fall accidents are a type of premises liability claim. These types of claims are filed when someone is injured on another person's property due to the property owner's negligence.

Slip-and-fall accidents can occur anywhere. However, they are most commonly associated with wet floors and poor lighting in commercial locations, such as supermarkets, shopping centers, and parking lots. They can also occur in residential locations, such as apartment complexes and private homes, as well as on public property, such as sidewalks and parks.

Common Causes of Slip & Fall Accidents

Many different types of hazards can cause slip-and-fall accidents. Generally, any type of dangerous condition can cause a slip-and-fall accident if the property owner fails to take the necessary steps to address it.

Some of the most common causes of slip-and-fall accidents include:

Wet floors
Icy or snowy walkways
Loose rugs and mats
Uneven stairs
Defective escalators and elevators
Obstructed walkways
Cluttered floors
Poor lighting

How to Prove Slip & Fall Liability

Slip-and-fall accident claims are based on the property owner's negligence. To prove negligence in a slip and fall accident claim, you must be able to show that the property owner owed you a duty of care, breached that duty of care, and caused you to suffer damages as a result.

Here is a brief overview of each of these elements:

Duty of Care. You must first be able to show that the property owner owed you a duty of care. Generally, property owners owe a duty of care to all individuals who are legally on their property. For example, if you are shopping at a supermarket, the supermarket owes you a duty of care to keep the property in a reasonably safe condition. Property owners may owe a higher duty of care to individuals they invite onto their property for business purposes, such as customers and clients.
Breach of Duty. The property owner breached the duty of care they owed you. In other words, you must be able to show that the property owner failed to take the necessary steps to keep the property in a reasonably safe condition. For example, you must be able to show that the supermarket failed to clean up a spill or put up a "wet floor" sign.
Causation. The property owner's breach of duty caused you to suffer injuries and other damages. In other words, you must be able to show that you would not have been injured if the property owner had taken the necessary steps to keep the property in a reasonably safe condition.
Damages. You suffered damages as a result of the slip and fall accident. Damages can include both economic and non-economic losses, such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

How to File a Slip & Fall Lawsuit

If you were injured in a slip-and-fall accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. However, you will need to file a lawsuit against the property owner to recover the compensation you are owed.

Here is a brief overview of the steps involved in filing a slip and fall accident lawsuit in Michigan:

Investigation. To build a strong case on your behalf, your attorney will need to conduct a thorough investigation of the accident. This may involve collecting and analyzing evidence, such as pictures and videos of the accident scene, accident reports, and witness statements. Your attorney may also need to work with experts, such as accident reconstruction experts, to help determine the cause of the accident.
Negotiation. After your attorney has gathered all available evidence, they will attempt to negotiate a settlement with the property owner's insurance company. If the insurance company refuses to make a fair settlement offer, your attorney may recommend filing a lawsuit.
Complaint. If you and your attorney decide to file a lawsuit, your attorney will draft a complaint and file it with the appropriate court. The complaint will outline the facts of the case and the damages you are seeking to recover.
Discovery. The discovery process allows both sides to gather additional evidence and information about the case. This may involve exchanging documents, such as medical records and accident reports, as well as taking depositions, which are sworn statements made under oath.
Negotiation/Mediation. After the discovery process is complete, both sides may attempt to negotiate a settlement. If the property owner's insurance company is still unwilling to make a fair settlement offer, the case may proceed to mediation. Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution that allows both sides to attempt to resolve the case with the help of a neutral third party. Mediation can be a useful tool for resolving slip and fall accident lawsuits without the need for a trial.
Trial. If the case does not settle at mediation, it may proceed to trial. At trial, both sides will present their evidence and arguments to the judge or jury. The judge or jury will then determine whether the property owner is liable for the accident and, if so, how much compensation you are owed. If the judge or jury finds that the property owner is not liable for the accident, you will not be able to recover any compensation for your injuries and other losses.
Appeal. If you and your attorney believe that the judge or jury made an error in deciding the case, you may be able to file an appeal. An appeal is a request for a higher court to review the decision made by the judge or jury. However, appeals can be complex and time-consuming, and they are not available in all cases.
