Injured on Someone Else’s Property? You Need a Premises Liability Attorney
When property owners fail to maintain safe conditions, innocent people get hurt. Falls aren’t the only danger — unsafe buildings, poor security, and hidden hazards can all cause serious injuries.
At Andriacchi Law, we help clients across Marquette and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula recover compensation after being injured on someone else’s property. Whether it’s a private home, a business, or public land, you have rights — and we’re here to protect them.
Premises Liability Cases Go Beyond Slip and Falls
While slip and fall accidents are common, premises liability includes many other dangerous conditions, such as:
- Broken stairs or railings
- Falling merchandise or debris
- Poorly lit or maintained parking lots
- Unsecured swimming pools
- Lack of proper building maintenance
- Dog bites and animal attacks on property
- Inadequate security leading to assaults or robberies
- Fire hazards, electrical issues, or building code violations
- Automatic door failures
When property owners fail to fix known hazards — or fail to warn about them — they can be held financially responsible for your injuries.
Common Premises Liability Injuries
We represent clients suffering from:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Broken bones and fractures
- Back and spinal cord injuries
- Severe cuts and lacerations
- Burns and electrical injuries
- Assault-related injuries (due to negligent security)
These injuries often require expensive medical treatment and can leave lasting impacts on your ability to work and enjoy life.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
After a premises injury, you may be eligible to recover:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering damages
- Mental anguish and emotional distress
- Disability or permanent impairment
- Wrongful death damages (if a loved one passed away)
We work hard to make sure you aren’t left dealing with medical bills, lost income, and trauma alone.

What to Know About Michigan Premises Liability Law
- Duty to visitors: Property owners owe different duties based on whether you were an invitee (customer), licensee (social guest), or trespasser.
- Knowledge of hazard: Owners must fix or warn about known dangers — and sometimes hazards they should have known about.
- Comparative fault: Even if you were partly at fault (e.g., not paying full attention), you may still recover damages under Michigan law.
- Deadline to file: Most premises liability lawsuits must be filed within 3 years of the injury.
Acting quickly is key to preserving evidence and building a strong claim.

Premises Liability FAQ
Q: Do I have a case if I tripped over something obvious?
A: You still might. Michigan’s “open and obvious” rule has exceptions — we can review whether the property owner still had a duty to act.
Q: What if the accident happened at a friend’s house?
A: Most cases are handled through homeowners’ insurance — not out of your friend’s personal pocket.
Q: How soon should I contact a lawyer?
A: Immediately. Property owners often fix hazards quickly after an injury, which can erase critical evidence.
