Liability Overview

Liability Considerations in Detroit

Michigan allows medical malpractice claims for birth injuries with a 2-year statute of limitations from the injury date for parent claims, with special infancy tolling provisions that toll the child's claim until age 18 plus 1 year. Michigan does not cap medical malpractice damages. The $144 million Michigan HIE birth injury verdict is the highest birth injury verdict in U.S. litigation history and is the benchmark for catastrophic birth injury damages nationally. Michigan's birth injury rates are above the national average per CDC data.
