What to know about slip and fall claims in Michigan
- Since Kandil-Elsayed v F & E Oil (July 28, 2023), an open and obvious hazard no longer means a Michigan business owed you no duty. It bears on whether the owner acted reasonably and on your share of fault, which a jury usually decides.
- Owners still owe only reasonable care, and your own fault still counts: your damages are reduced by your share, and if it's more than 50% you lose pain-and-suffering damages (MCL 600.2959).
- You have three years to sue a private owner (MCL 600.5805(2)), but written notice is due within 120 days for a defective public road, sidewalk or building (MCL 691.1404, 691.1406).
