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:

- Shoulder and knee injuries
- Cuts, bruises, and soft-tissue damage
Novi 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, minutes from Novi, near the M-10 and I-696 interchange. Serving Novi from our nearby Southfield office, we represent injured Novi residents and handle local cases in the courts we work in regularly.

I fell at Twelve Oaks Mall or a Novi store. Who is responsible?
It depends on who controlled the area, a national retailer, the mall operator, or a property manager. We identify the responsible party and whether they failed their duty to keep it safe.
I slipped in a large Novi parking lot in winter. Can I bring a claim?
Possibly. Property owners must keep lots reasonably clear of ice and hazards. If a dangerous condition caused your fall, we pursue the owner or manager responsible.
The store says the hazard was open and obvious. Is my case over?
Not necessarily. Michigan law on the open and obvious defense has evolved, and we work to show why the owner remained responsible for the condition.
How fast do I need to act after a Novi fall?
Quickly. At busy retail properties, hazards are cleared and surveillance overwritten within days. Reporting it and contacting us promptly protects the evidence.
Who pays for a slip and fall injury in Novi?
Usually the property owneru2019s or businessu2019s liability insurance. We identify every applicable policy and pursue it for your losses.
Slip and Fall Injuries in Novi
Novi is one of the region\u2019s major retail and entertainment destinations, anchored by Twelve Oaks Mall and the surrounding big-box stores, restaurants, and shopping centers along Novi Road and Twelve Mile. That heavy foot traffic, combined with large parking lots that ice over in Michigan winters, makes slip, trip, and fall injuries a common and serious problem. Property owners owe a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe.
Common Novi premises claims involve icy or unmaintained parking lots and walkways, wet mall and store floors, broken stairs and handrails, and inadequate lighting. We determine who controlled the property, what they knew about the hazard, and what they failed to do.
Serious fall injuries are typically treated at Ascension Providence Novi on Beck Road and nearby centers. Documenting the hazard early, photos, incident reports, and witnesses, is critical before the condition is repaired and evidence disappears.
Premises claims involving Novi are filed in Oakland County Circuit Court in Pontiac. Michigan\u2019s deadlines are strict and the open and obvious doctrine has evolved, making experienced local representation important.
Ajrouch Law is based in nearby Southfield and represents fall-injury victims throughout Novi and the surrounding western Oakland County communities.

Common Slip and Fall Hazards in Novi
Few cities in the region concentrate as much retail foot traffic as Novi. Twelve Oaks Mall, the big-box centers along Novi Road and Twelve Mile, and the restaurant and entertainment venues draw heavy crowds year-round, and their large parking lots and entryways are prime spots for winter ice and unaddressed hazards. The scale of these properties means dangerous conditions can persist in areas the owner is responsible for monitoring.
We determine who controlled the area where you fell, a national retailer, a mall operator, a restaurant, or a property manager, and whether they met their duty to keep it safe. Documenting the condition early, before a lot is plowed or a spill cleaned, is often decisive, and we move quickly to preserve incident reports and any available surveillance from these commercial properties.
