All potential civil cases in Michigan are subject to a limitations period within which a lawsuit must be filed or it is barred. These periods of limitations are called “statutes of limitations”. In medical malpractice cases not resulting in death, generally, the statute of limitations is two (2) years from the date of the act or omission that is the basis for the claim, meaning the date the heath care provider did something deemed to be negligence. See MCL 600.5838a.
Sometimes, however, a person doesn’t know that malpractice has been committed. In certain cases, an action involving a claim based on medical malpractice may be commenced within six (6) months after the injured party discovers or should have discovered the existence of the claim, whichever is later.
In claims involving medical malpractice claims to a person under the age of eight years, the person has until his or her tenth birthday to bring the claim. MCL 600.5851(7).
