Troy is home to some of the most heavily trafficked commercial properties in Metro Detroit — the Somerset Collection, corporate office parks, major hotel corridors, and dense retail strips along Big Beaver Road and Rochester Road. Every one of those properties carries a legal duty to keep visitors reasonably safe. When that duty is breached and someone is hurt, Macomb County Accident Attorneys is ready to hold the property owner accountable.
Michigan Premises Liability Law in Commercial Settings
Michigan law requires property owners and operators to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition and to warn visitors of hazards they know about. In high-traffic commercial settings like Troy’s retail corridors and office parks, the duty of care is significant — and so is the exposure when it’s breached. The “open and obvious” defense is commonly raised by insurance carriers but has faced consistent judicial scrutiny in Michigan in recent years.
Types of Cases We Handle in Troy
Our Troy premises liability attorneys handle slip and fall accidents, trip and fall on public property, dog bites and animal attacks, and negligent security incidents. Somerset Collection’s parking structures and interior common areas, as well as hotel properties along the I-75 corridor, are among the most active sites for premises liability claims in Troy.
Troy’s Premises Hazard Landscape
The Somerset Collection and surrounding retail properties generate significant slip and fall exposure in winter — particularly in parking structures and covered walkways where ice accumulates in transition zones. Corporate office parks along Crooks Road and Livernois Avenue produce trip-and-fall claims tied to aging sidewalks and poorly maintained exterior surfaces. Hotel and hospitality properties along the I-75 corridor have generated negligent security claims in recent years. Our attorneys know these properties and how to investigate claims that arise from them.
How We Build Strong Premises Liability Cases
We act quickly to preserve evidence — visiting the scene, photographing conditions, obtaining surveillance footage, and gathering maintenance and incident records before they can be altered or deleted. We identify every responsible party, including building owners, management companies, tenants, and municipalities. We document your injuries thoroughly and calculate the full cost of your recovery. When insurers won’t make a fair offer, we take the case to court.
