What is the deadline in Michigan?

Michigan has a 3-year SOL for personal injury (MCL § 600.5805). Michigan has no general discovery rule (MCL 600.5827). Under Michigan's comparative fault rule, damages are reduced by the plaintiff's percentage of fault, and a plaintiff more than 50% at fault cannot recover noneconomic damages (MCL 600.2959). A lawyer can confirm yours.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
