Workers Compensation
Lawyer for 40+ Years
A HUGE recent change in Michigan law affects anyone who slips/trips/falls while:
The cause of the fall could be bad pavement, a slippery substance on pavement or on a floor, ice buildup which has never been salted, and so on. This law change affects workers for on-the-job injuries and consumers for off-the-job injuries. It affects drivers for UPS, FedEx, Amazon, Cassens Transport, Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, etc; it affects carpenters, electricians, plumbers and all other building tradesmen who slip/trip/fall due to debris on a construction site that the general contractor hasn’t cleaned up.
The bottom line is that if you have suffered an injury due to slipping, tripping or falling due to a hazard, call me to see if you have a claim. Unlike a worker’s compensation claim, in this type of claim you can get damages for pain and suffering, as well as for loss of income and medical bills.
I have decades of experience handling this type of claim.
