Frequently Asked Questions

Who is liable for injuries at a college football tailgate or stadium event in Michigan?

Straight Answers.
From Trial Lawyers.

The Answer

Liability depends on where the injury happened and what caused it. Potentially responsible parties include:

  • The university or stadium owner, if a dangerous condition on the property caused the injury, under Michigan premises liability law
  • A vendor or concessionaire, if contaminated food, a defective product, or unsafe setup caused harm
  • A third-party security company, if inadequate crowd control or security led to injury
  • Another individual, if the injury resulted from a fight, reckless behavior, or overserved intoxication

Tailgate injuries in particular raise questions about alcohol service and supervision. If a private host or organization overserved someone who then caused harm, that may open up additional avenues of liability under Michigan's dram shop laws.
