Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice in Michigan?
In Michigan, you generally have two years from the date of the malpractice or six months from when you discovered the injury, whichever comes first. There is an absolute six-year limit from the date of the negligent act for most cases. Exceptions exist for minors and cases involving foreign objects left in the body.
Do I need an expert affidavit to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Michigan?
Yes, Michigan law requires that you file an affidavit of merit signed by a qualified health professional with your complaint. This affidavit must state that there is a reasonable basis for believing that the defendant breached the standard of care. Failure to include this affidavit can result in dismissal of your case.
What damages can I recover in a Michigan medical malpractice case?
You can recover economic damages like medical expenses and lost wages. Michigan law caps noneconomic damages for pain and suffering at a specific amount adjusted for inflation, currently around $500,000 for most cases. Punitive damages are not available, but you can seek damages for loss of earning capacity and other losses.
