In July 2023, the Michigan Supreme Court abolished the "open and obvious" doctrine, significantly impacting premises liability law in the state.
The "open and obvious" doctrine previously held that property owners were not liable for injuries caused by hazards that were apparent and could be easily avoided by a reasonable person. If a danger was deemed "open and obvious," property owners had no duty to warn visitors about it.
