How Do I Prove Kroger or Another Company Was Negligent in a Fall Accident?

To win a slip-and-fall or premises liability case in Michigan, you need to prove negligence — that the store failed to take reasonable care to prevent harm.

Here’s what that usually involves showing:

1. The store created or knew about a dangerous condition (like a spill or broken tile).
2. The store failed to fix it or warn customers in a reasonable time.
3. That failure directly caused your injury.

Evidence can include:

• Surveillance video footage
• Witness statements
• Incident reports or cleaning logs
• Medical records linking your injuries to the fall

Insurance companies often try to argue that the danger was “open and obvious,” but Michigan law doesn’t automatically protect them — especially when conditions were inherently unsafe (like clear liquid on shiny tile).

At Marko Law, we know how to dig deep to uncover the evidence stores hope you’ll never find. We’ve taken on corporate lawyers — and beaten them — in courtrooms across Michigan.
