Michigan applies a 3-year personal injury statute of limitations, with no general discovery rule (MCL 600.5827). Detroit-area health systems were major mesh implant centers. Michigan women with mesh erosion, revision surgery, or chronic pelvic pain may have active claims.
Statute of limitations in Michigan: 3 years for a products liability action (MCL § 600.5805(12)), running from accrual under MCL § 600.5827 rather than from discovery; Michigan has no product statute of repose, though a product in use more than 10 years loses certain evidentiary presumptions; consult counsel for older implants Accrual timing is critical in mesh cases because complications—including mesh erosion and chronic pain—often appear years after implantation. Plaintiffs who received a mesh device a decade ago but were only recently diagnosed with a complication may still have a viable claim. An attorney can evaluate your specific implant date and diagnosis date against the applicable filing deadlines.
