Ever since 2001, a Michigan slip and fall case typically involved a particular legal standard set by the Michigan courts. This is commonly referred to as Michigan’s open and obvious standard. If there is a dangerous condition, it must be shown that the condition was not known to the invitee and cannot be  so obvious that the invitee might reasonably be expected to discover them. This is often referred to as Michigan’s “open and obvious” doctrine. A further layer of nuance required a Plaintiff to demonstrate there were “special aspects” in order to establish liability under Michigan law.
