01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Michigan?
3-year statute of limitations for personal injury; no general discovery rule (MCL 600.5827). Michigan Consumer Protection Act claims carry a 6-year SOL. Legislative proposals to regulate loot boxes and youth gaming spending are under consideration. 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 is both an active litigation state and a focus of legislative attention for video game addiction. The state's 3-year personal injury SOL applies to gaming addiction claims; Michigan has no general discovery rule (MCL 600.5827). The JPML declined to centralize video game addiction cases in 2024 (MDL No. 3109) and again on Dec. 10, 2025 (MDL No. 3168), so there is no video game addiction MDL.
Michigan video game addiction cases are filed in the circuit court of the county where the plaintiff resides or where the harm occurred. Wayne County Circuit Court (Detroit) handles the largest volume of product liability cases. Oakland and Kent County (Grand Rapids) are also active jurisdictions. The JPML declined to centralize video game addiction cases in 2024 (MDL No. 3109) and again on Dec. 10, 2025 (MDL No. 3168), so there is no video game addiction MDL. Federal claims are filed in the Eastern District of Michigan (Detroit/Ann Arbor) or Western District (Grand Rapids).
