In Michigan, the statute of limitations for personal injuries and wrongful death, M.C.L.A. § 600.5805, allows you three years from the date of an incident to file a personal injury claim. Limited exceptions allow for additional time, like cases where: the victim is considered insane at the time of the accident; the victim was under the age of 18 at the time of the accident; or the liable party/defendant is out of state and cannot be reasonably served with a lawsuit. For medical malpractice cases, however, M.C.L.A. § 600.5805(8) sets a two-year limit. Our experienced medical malpractice attorneys in Wayne County will help ensure you timely file a strong claim.
