What Is the Statute of Limitations for a Serious Crash in Detroit, MI?
People injured in a serious crash in Detroit, MI, generally have three years to file a personal injury lawsuit under Michigan Compiled Laws § 600.5805. The statute generally provides a three-year limitation period for actions seeking damages for injury to a person or property.
This deadline can apply to claims involving medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from the crash. The limitations period generally begins when the injury occurs, although Michigan law contains specific rules that can affect how a particular claim is calculated.
After a serious Detroit crash, injured people should preserve crash reports, medical records, photographs, witness information, insurance records, vehicle repair documentation, and available surveillance or traffic-camera footage. Evidence documenting the vehicles, roadway, injuries, and circumstances of the crash may become more difficult to obtain as time passes.
Certain circumstances can involve different deadlines or tolling rules. For example, Michigan law provides specific provisions concerning claims involving deceased persons and certain disabilities.
Understanding the applicable three-year statute of limitations early can help an injured person determine how much time remains to pursue a potential personal injury claim after a serious crash in Detroit.
