The merits of Bill 5744 – proposed changes to Michigan premises liability law
Michigan’s Personal Injury Premises Liability Law Must be Changed Now
April 6th, 2010
Michigan attorney, Steven M. Gursten, Michigan Auto Lawyers Blog, discusses the merits of Bill 5744:
How bad is Michigan’s “open and obvious” premises liability law? So bad that in one fell swoop in 2002, it wiped out over 65 years of human factors science. Our “open and obvious” law essentially wipes out slip and fall cases. The Michigan Supreme Court declared that no typical person could ever blame the premises owner for falling in a pothole or on a sidewalk, if he or she were able to see the hazard.
