The General Rule: Three Years to File In Michigan, the general statute of limitations for personal injury claims is three years. This period begins on the date of the injury.
Personal injury verdicts always conflate the average; Michigan's median personal injury compensation award is $99,506. Interestingly, plaintiffs receive a financial recovery in 44% of personal injury lawsuits that go to trial compared to the national average of 52%.
In Michigan, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is generally three years from the date of the injury. This means that if you have been injured due to someone else's negligence, you must file a lawsuit within this time frame, or you may lose your right to pursue compensation.
The amount of compensation that can be claimed for general damages depends on the type of injury and suffering experienced, and the severity of it, as well as how long quality of life is affected. Therefore, there isn't a 'one sum suits all' approach to general damages; every single claim is different.
Ing to the Michigan Compiled Laws section 600.5805, the statute of limitations is as follows. “The period of limitations is 3 years after the time of the death or injury for all actions to recover damages for the death of a person or for injury to a person or property.”
