Businesses Not Responsible for Black Ice Slip and Falls

The Michigan Supreme Court has ruled that businesses are not responsible for a customer slip and fall that occurs when black ice is involved. According to the ruling, black ice is an expected hazard in a parking lot during the winter. While black ice is invisible, therefore not an open and obvious danger, it is something that should be expected at that time of year.     

When you are dealing with a slip and fall accident, you need to know they can occur all too often and leave people seriously injured. It's important that if you are injured in an accident caused by another's negligence that you understand that you can pursue a case. You need to know that you do have rights to protect and options to do so. You should not have to suffer from medical bills, lost work wages and other expenses because of someone else's careless actions.
