Until recently, the slip and fall laws in the State of Michigan made it difficult to recovery due to Michigan extreme open and obvious laws. This law prevented those victims from recovering if they new or should have of the potential risks that
caused their fall. This unfairly placed the emphasis on a victims ability to recognize potential dangers instead of the owner’s duty to remove the hazard or warn visitors or invitees about its risks. It is clear that owners are in a better position to evaluate
potential hazards and risks on their properties, not their guests.
