Testimonials

Hiring Buckfire & Buckfire P.C. was the best decision I could have made for my Michigan motorcycle accident case.
Michael Smith
Waterford, MI

I have had several brain injury patients represented by attorney Daniel Buckfire and have had the occasion to meet with him... Daniel is the attorney that brain injured patients should turn to for the best possible legal representation.

When I call their office, I speak to the personal injury lawyer handling the case, not a paralegal or law clerk. This alone clearly separates them from 90% of other law firms handling injury cases.

Slip and Fall Accidents in Stores

Michigan slip and fall injury lawyers represent clients injured due to slippery conditions at grocery stores, department stores, and other retail businesses. These include falls due to wet floors, slippery substances on store floors, water, melted snow or ice, spilled or smashed produce items, and other spilled liquids. These types of falls can result in very serious injuries, including but not limited back injuries, neck injuries, fractured bones, hip injuries, knee injuries, as well as traumatic brain injuries.

Under Michigan law, a storekeeper has a duty to provide reasonably safe aisles for customers and is liable for injuries resulting from unsafe conditions caused, among other reasons, by the active negligence of the storekeeper or his or her employees. The injured person must prove either that the storekeeper caused the unsafe condition or that the storekeeper knew or should have known of the unsafe condition. In addition, the injured person must be able to prove what caused him or her to slip and fall.

It is important to report the injury incident to the store manager or other store personnel immediately after the accident. Many times, the store manager will make a written report of the injury accident which often includes important information, such as the date and time of the injury, the condition that caused the injury, the names of any eyewitnesses or store employees with knowledge of the incident, and a description of the injury or physical complaints of the injured customer. Also, the store manager will even take a photograph of the defective condition. These things will all provide important evidence to support a legal claim filed at a later date.

The insurance company for the store will often have an adjuster contact the injured customer as soon as possible after the accident before the injured person speaks with a lawyer. The adjuster is trained to get the injured person to say things that may later ruin their slip and fall case. Speaking to an adjuster before you hire a lawyer is a mistake for that reason. Our free book, “The Ultimate Michigan Injury Handbook,” explains the legal process for Michigan slip and fall accidents and includes the biggest mistakes that will ruin your Michigan personal injury case.

Due to the complexities involved in slip and fall cases, you should contact the Michigan slip and fall accident lawyers at Buckfire & Buckfire P.C. to see if you have a case.
