01 · Your filing deadline

What is the deadline in Michigan?

Michigan applies a 3-year statute of limitations for product liability claims under MCL § 600.5805(2). 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)). 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.

02 · Where cases are heard

Where would my case be heard?

Michigan's diverse agriculture — corn, soybeans, cherries, apples, and blueberries — drives heavy glyphosate use across the state. The state's fruit belt along Lake Michigan and the Thumb region's row crop operations are major exposure zones. Michigan applies a 3-year statute of limitations and has no general discovery rule (MCL 600.5827).
