Michigan residents trust that when they are on someone else’s property, they have a reasonable expectation of safety. The property owner has a responsibility to ensure that there aren't any avoidable dangers that could result in a premises liability lawsuit.

A recent study by a national insurance provider ranked which states have the highest rates of dog bites, and Michigan came in sixth place.
