Michigan Laws That Affect Your Case

Statute of Limitations

In Michigan, you have a limited time to file your claim: 3 years for personal injury (MCL § 600.5805). Missing this deadline typically means you lose your right to compensation permanently.

“Time is your most valuable asset after an injury. Contact a Grand Rapids attorney immediately to ensure your claim is preserved.”

Modified Comparative Negligence

Michigan follows a modified comparative fault system. You can recover damages only if you are less than 50% at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.

Michigan Insurance System

Michigan operates under a No-Fault (PIP required) system. Drivers choose PIP coverage levels; unlimited PIP was historically required but reformed in 2019.
