Answering your questions about personal injury claims in Michigan.

This FAQ addresses certain common personal injury questions related to legal rights, claim timelines, government-related cases, and what to expect when pursuing compensation. Every situation is unique, but these can offer a grounded starting point for making informed decisions.

If your question isn’t answered here or you’d like tailored guidance after an injury, schedule a free consultation.

What's the deadline to file a personal injury claim in Michigan, and does it change for cases involving government entities?

Under Michigan personal injury law (MCL 600.5805), the general statute of limitations to file a lawsuit is three years from the date of injury. This applies to most cases, including car accidents, slip and fall, and product liability claims. However, claims against government entities have stricter deadlines. For state agencies, you typically have six months to file a formal claim (MCL 600.6431). For defective highways or certain public building claims, the deadline may be as short as 120 days. Missing these deadlines can permanently bar recovery, so consult a lawyer promptly to ensure compliance.

What is comparative negligence in Michigan?

Michigan applies a modified comparative negligence rule with a "50% bar" (MCL 600.2959). If your share of fault is below 51%, you may still recover damages, though economic compensation (like medical bills or lost wages) will be reduced by your fault percentage. However, if you're 51% or more at fault, you're barred from recovering non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. In auto accident cases, Michigan’s no-fault insurance may cover certain economic losses regardless of fault, but additional compensation often requires legal action. A knowledgeable Michigan injury lawyer can help navigate these complexities and maximize the value of your claim.

Why do I need a Michigan accident lawyer?

Whether you’re injured in a car accident on I-94 in Detroit or a slip and fall in an Ann Arbor apartment, hiring an experienced Michigan personal injury lawyer levels the playing field against insurance companies trained to minimize your claim. Michigan’s unique laws, like no-fault insurance and strict government claim deadlines, require local expertise. A lawyer provides an effective way to pursue fair compensation tailored to your case.

How can I access legal support in Michigan for my injury?

Concerns about legal costs are common after an accident. Lawfty addresses this for Michiganders by offering a confidential, no-cost, no-obligation case evaluation. During this consultation, our team will assess your case and explain your legal rights under Michigan law. If you choose to work with us, we handle your case on a contingency fee basis, with a written agreement ensuring you pay no fees unless we recover compensation for you.
