Premises Liability

Premises liability is an area of the law that specifically deals with the safety of individuals while on public or private property.  Property owners have an obligation to ensure their premises are safe for visitors, either by performing proper maintenance or by posting appropriate warnings to indicate potential hazards.  In a premises liability claim, the legal issue that needs to be decided is whether the property owner is responsible for the accident and whether the property owes the injured party compensation for injuries sustained on the premises as a result of the property owner’s negligence. 

Our lawyers at Sinas, Dramis, Brake, Boughton & McIntyre, P.C., have extensive experience litigating premises liability cases and can help you obtain the compensation that you deserve.  Attorneys have insurance companies have attorneys working for them to protect their interest, you should have attorneys working for you and protecting your interests as well.

Open and Obvious Doctrine

Under Michigan law, a possessor of land may be excused from responsibility for another person’s injury if the condition that caused the injury is determined to be an open and obvious danger.  An open and obvious danger is defined as “a condition that an average person of ordinary intelligence would discover based upon casual inspection.” 

Whether a condition is truly an open and obvious danger depends upon the specific  facts of each individual case.  Moreover, even if a condition is determined to be an open and obvious danger if “special aspects” surrounding this open and obvious condition, the Open and Obvious Doctrine will not prevent an individual from recovering for their injuries.  Additionally, if an injury results due to ordinary negligence as opposed to a condition on the land, the Open and Obvious Doctrine will not apply.  Whether or not an individual case will be affected by the Open and Obvious Doctrine needs to be determined by an attorney who is familiar with premises liability law.  At the Sinas Dramis Law Firm, we have the knowledge and expertise to guide you through this complicated area of law and decide what is best for you.
