Under Michigan law, you have the burden of proving that 1) there was a defect, and 2) that the store knew of it, or that it existed for a long enough time that they should have known of it, and 3) that they had an opportunity to fix it but failed to do so, and 4) that they failed to warn you about it, and 5) that you could not discover it for yourself before you fell. If you fail to prove any one of those 5 things, you will lose.
