Michigan has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. Michigan has no general discovery rule (MCL 600.5827). Detroit is one of the priority IVC filter plaintiff markets nationally.
Michigan imposes a three-year statute of limitations on product liability claims (MCL § 600.5805(12)). Michigan has no general discovery rule: a claim accrues when the wrong is done, regardless of when damage results, unless a statute provides otherwise (MCL 600.5827; Trentadue v. Buckler Automatic Lawn Sprinkler Co., 479 Mich. 378 (2007)). Consulting an attorney after diagnosis can help preserve your claim.
Michigan federal cases — from E.D. Mich. (Detroit/Flint/Ann Arbor) or W.D. Mich. (Grand Rapids/Lansing/Kalamazoo) — are transferred by the JPML to the applicable MDL. Bard/BD cases are transferred to MDL 2641 in D. Arizona; Cook Medical cases go to MDL 2570 in S.D. Indiana; Cordis cases are centralized in D. Nevada. Transfer does not foreclose state-law claims — choice of law will generally apply the substantive law of the state where the plaintiff was implanted or suffered injury. Plaintiffs may also file directly in the MDL transferee district if personal jurisdiction and venue requirements are satisfied.
