The statute of limitations is a critical legal concept in Michigan auto accident cases, as it sets a strict time limit for filing a personal injury claim. Under Michigan law, individuals generally have three years from the date of the accident to initiate a lawsuit for damages. This deadline is outlined in the Michigan Compiled Laws section 600.5805. Failing to file within this statutory period could result in the court dismissing the case, regardless of its merits. For clients who have suffered injuries in a rear-end collision, hit-and-run incident, or other auto accident potentially involving no-fault insurance or a drunk driver, it is crucial to consult with an experienced attorney like those at The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm as soon as possible. The firm’s skilled litigators can help preserve evidence, navigate the complexities of Michigan’s no-fault laws, and ensure all claims are filed within the applicable statute of limitations, maximizing the chances of obtaining fair compensation for injuries sustained, including those from a rollover accident.
