Injured in a slip and fall in Southfield, MI? Ajrouch Law holds negligent property owners accountable. Based in Southfield. Free consultation.
Wet, slippery, or recently mopped floors without warning
Icy or snow-covered walkways and parking lots
Poor lighting in stairwells and common areas
Uneven flooring, torn carpet, and damaged stairs
Falls in stores, restaurants, apartments, and commercial property
Falls often cause more serious harm than people expect, especially for older adults:
- Broken hips, wrists, and ankles
- Head injuries and concussions
- Back and spinal injuries
- Shoulder and knee injuries
- Cuts, bruises, and soft-tissue damage
Southfield is dense with office towers, retail centers, restaurants, and apartment communities, which means premises injuries happen year round. Office-building lobbies, parking structures, and garages are common sites, and Michigan winters bring icy lots and walkways across the city’s many commercial properties.
To recover, we generally must show the owner created a dangerous condition or knew about it and failed to fix or warn of it, and that the condition caused your injury. Michigan premises liability law has its own rules and defenses, including questions about whether a hazard was open and obvious. Documenting the hazard quickly and involving a lawyer early is critical.
Ajrouch Law is based in Southfield at 24370 Northwestern Highway, near the M-10 and I-696 interchange. Being located in the city means we represent injured Southfield residents as neighbors and handle local cases in the courts we work in regularly.
Southfield sits at the crossing of I-696, M-10 (the Lodge Freeway), US-24 (Telegraph Road), and M-39 (the Southfield Freeway), and is one of Metro Detroit’s largest employment centers. Smaller matters are heard in the 46th District Court on Evergreen Road, with larger injury claims going to the Oakland County Circuit Court in Pontiac.
Insurers look for any reason to reduce or deny what they pay. Avoid these common missteps:
- Leaving without reporting the fall or identifying the hazard
- Failing to photograph the condition before it is repaired
- Delaying medical treatment
- Giving a recorded statement to the property's insurer
- Accepting a quick settlement before injuries are evaluated
Throughout the process we keep you informed and make sure the major decisions are yours to make, with our guidance.

Can I sue if I slipped and fell in a Southfield store or office building?
Possibly. If the owner created or knew about a hazard and failed to address it, and you were injured as a result, you may have a premises liability claim. We evaluate the facts during your free consultation.
What is the open and obvious defense?
Owners often argue a hazard was so obvious you should have avoided it. Michigan law on this defense has evolved, and we work to show why the owner remains responsible.
What if I was partly at fault?
Michigan's comparative fault system can reduce but not necessarily eliminate your recovery. We assess how fault may affect your case.
Who pays for a slip and fall injury?
Compensation usually comes through the property owner's liability insurance. We identify the responsible parties and coverage, then pursue it.
How soon should I act?
Quickly. Hazards get repaired and evidence disappears. Reporting, documenting, and contacting a lawyer early all strengthen your claim.
