No Jackpot for Plaintiff: Court Upholds Dismissal in Casino Slip-and-Fall

The Court of Appeals’ decision in Anthony v Greektown Casino LLC reinforces that Michigan courts expect a standard of reasonable care, not perfection. One visible sign an entrance may discharge a business’s duty, especially when the plaintiff saw it and noticed custodial activity nearby.

Summary disposition remains a strong defense tool in premises liability litigation. For businesses and insurers, the takeaway is clear: one clear warning can be enough.
