Slip and Fall Accidents on Black Ice in Michigan - Personal Injury Lawyers

With the temperatures rapidly dropping in Michigan, we will soon see daily areas of snow and ice on sidewalks, parking lots, and driveways.  Icy conditions present a substantial hazard to pedestrians and the injuries suffered in slip and fall accidents on ice are often significant.  These often include fractured hips, knee injuries, broken ankles, and fracture arms and elbows.

A major culprit of these injuries is "black ice," an almost clear and invisible thin sheet of ice on a concrete or paved surface.  Black ice is extremely dangerous because the injury victim never sees it until after the fall.  In Michigan, property owners have the legal duty to take reasonable measures to clear snow and ice off pedestrian walkways and parking lots.  This includes the duty to apply salt to areas with black ice or where black ice frequently accumulates. 


The failure to take these actions can give rise to a Michigan slip and fall accident lawsuit.  In those cases, the victim can seek compensation for their injuries, pain and suffering, and disability.  Claims can also be made for lost wages and medical expenses.  It is essential to choose a lawyer who has successfully won a number of those cases because the legal issues in those cases can be tricky.  For more information on your rights after  slip and fall injury on ice, call our office at (800) 606-1717.

Broken Stairs Lawsuit Filed-Defective Steps Cause Injury

Our Michigan slip and fall accident lawyers recently filed a lawsuit on behalf of a client who suffered a severe back injury due to defective steps at a business.  The client was a truck driver who was at a large warehouse for a delivery.  After the delivery was complete, he was exiting from the building down some wooden steps.  The steps were defective and broke, causing him to fall to the ground and suffer severe back injuries. 

The lawsuit seeks compensation for his injuries, including pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and for his disability.  He is now disabled from driving a truck and can no longer return to his employment.  A business has a legal duty to make the premises safe for people that are invited onto the premises for business purposes and must inspect the property for defective conditions.  The suit alleges that the property failed to do these things and this was the cause of the injuries.

Black Ice - Slip and Fall Injury Victim Wins Court Opinion

Michigan residents who fall due to "black ice" (ice so thin and transparent that it seems invisible) have had their legal right to compensation restored by a recent Michigan Court of Appeals decision.  Under the old law, residents who were injured in falls on black ice could not sue the negligent businesses and property owners who failed to salt their properties because the condition was considered "open and obvious."  The new case restored the rights of these victims to seek compensation for their injuries.

Our Michigan slip and fall lawyers have obtained significant settlements in all types of slip and fall cases, including falls on black ice.  For more information about your legal rights, call us today.

Ice on Sidewalks in Michigan Apartment Complexes

The recent cold winter weather and snow has brought a number of new cases to our offices relating to slip and fall injuries on icy sidewalks at Michigan apartment complexes.  When you rent an apartment, you expect that the complex maintenance staff will apply salt to the sidewalks, walkways, steps, and parking lots to prevent injuries.  Unfortunately, many apartment complexes do not take this seriously and tenants have been suffering very serious injuries due to falls on ice, especially on black ice which is virtually impossible to see before it is encountered.  By then, it is often too late.  

If you were injured at a Michigan apartment complex due to a fall on ice, you should contact our firm immediately.  Also, if possible, take pictures of the injury scene or have someone do it for you so that you can prove that the area was icy and not salted before your injury.
