Frequently Asked Questions About Premises Liability
What should I do after being injured on someone else’s property?
Seek medical attention right away. If possible, document the scene, get contact info from witnesses, and report the incident to the property owner or manager.
Do I have a case if I slipped at a business in Detroit or Toledo?
Possibly — it depends on whether the business knew or should have known about the hazard. We can help investigate and advise you on your rights.
Are property owners responsible for injuries on rental property?
Yes. If poor maintenance or unsafe conditions caused your injury, the property owner may be liable. These cases are especially common in apartment buildings.
What if the property owner says I was at fault?
That’s a common defense — but it’s not always valid. We gather evidence to counter those claims and show how their negligence played the real role.
How long do I have to file a premises liability claim in Michigan or Ohio?
These deadlines vary by state and situation. Don’t wait — talking to a lawyer early helps protect your right to file.
