Yes, but it’s complicated. When your child is hurt on public property—like a city-run playground—you may have a claim against a government entity. However, Michigan law gives cities and counties governmental immunity, which makes suing them more difficult than suing a private party.
You may still have a case if:
- The injury was caused by a defective playground design or poor maintenance.
- The government failed to repair or warn about known hazards.
- The equipment violated safety codes or regulations.
If your child was hurt because of something like broken monkey bars or exposed bolts, you might have a claim under Michigan’s “dangerous condition of public property” exception.
Act fast: You may have only 120 days to file a notice of injury with the city or township. Don’t wait.
