Great question. Under Michigan law, gross negligence means someone acted with reckless disregard for others’ safety—far beyond ordinary carelessness. It’s behavior so extreme that it shows a willful indifference to whether someone might get hurt.
Examples:
- A daycare worker leaving toddlers alone near traffic
- A truck driver speeding through a snowstorm
- A business ignoring known safety hazards
Gross negligence can open the door to punitive damages and may overcome certain immunity protections, especially in government-related cases.
Marko Law has built its reputation on proving gross negligence—even against powerful defendants like state agencies and corporations. When someone’s recklessness causes harm, we make sure justice is served.
