Section 600.5805(10) gives Civil Rights Act claims a three-year limitations period running from the date of injury, and an unremedied continuing violation does not reset that period.

Magee v. DaimlerChrysler Corp. · filed 2005-03-08(10)

To determine whether Magee’s claims were timely filed, we look to MCL 600.5805(10), which establishes that the applicable period of limitations is three years from the date of injury. Because Magee alleged no discriminatory conduct occurring after September 12, 1998, the period of limitations on Magee’s claims expired, at the latest, three years from that date, or by September 12, 2001. Accordingly, as the trial court held, Magee’s February 1, 2002, complaint was not timely filed.

Subsection (10) provides a three-year limitations period for personal-injury claims, which applies to Michigan § 1983 claims through borrowing.

Drake v. City of Detroit · filed 2008-02-21(10)

We have held that the appropriate statute of limitations to be borrowed for § 1983 actions arising in Michigan is the state’s three-year limitations period for personal injury claims. Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(10); Chippewa Trading Co. v. Cox, 365 F.3d 538, 543 (6th Cir. 2004).

Calderon v. Ford Motor Credit Company · filed 2008-11-06(10)

A hostile-work-environment harassment claim under the ELCRA must be filed within three years of the time it accrued. Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(10).

Section 600.5805(10) imposes a three-year limitations period after the time of death or injury for actions seeking damages for death or injury to a person or property, unless another provision applies.

Raschke v. Citizens Insurance Company of America · filed 2015-03-03(10)

It is uncontested that plaintiff’s claim is governed by MCL 600.5805(10), which states that, “except as otherwise provided in this section, the period of limitations is 3 years after the time of the death or injury for all actions to recover damages for the death of a person, or for injury to a person or property.” The accident in this case occurred on November 3, 2005, and the claim was filed on February 1, 2011, which falls well outside the three-year limitations period.

Section 600.5805(10) provides a three-year limitations period for negligence claims when the specialized architect-malpractice limitations rule does not apply.

Center Street Lofts Condominium Assn v. Center Street Partners LLC · filed 2016-12-22(10)

Moreover, assuming arguendo that AZD does not qualify as a “state licensed architect” because 2/3 of its principals were not licensed architects during the relevant time, the period of limitations for plaintiff’s claim of negligence would be three years under MCL 600.5805(10). ... Here, construction was substantially completed in early 2007. Indeed, plaintiff acknowledged in its June 15, 2007 settlement with Sachse, the general contractor, that the construction had been “fully complete[d].” As a result, a three-year limitations period started at the latest in June 2007 and ended in June 2010. Accordingly, because plaintiff filed its complaint in 2013, well after this limitation period lapsed, plaintiff’s claim of negligence is time barred.

Subsection (10) imposes a three-year limitations period for claims seeking damages for personal injury, which the court applied to bar claims filed nearly seven years after the injury.

Carleton Buck v. City of Highland Park, Mich. · filed 2018-05-02(10)

We have held that the appropriate statute of limitations to be borrowed for § 1983 actions arising in Michigan is the state’s three-year limitations period for personal-injury claims. MCL § 600.5805(10); Chippewa Trading Co. v. Cox, 365 F.3d 538, 543 (6th Cir. 2004). Here, Buck brought his § 1983 claim against Holcomb nearly seven years after the shooting. ... Pursuant to MCL § 600.5805(10), “the period of limitations is 3 years after the time of the death or injury . . . to recover damages for the death of a person, or for injury to a person or property.” ... Buck thus gives us no cause to disturb the district court’s dismissal of Count III.

Section 600.5805(2) supplies a three-year limitations period for personal-injury claims.

Dawn Green v. City of Southfield, Mich. · filed 2018-12-26(2)

For civil rights suits filed in Michigan under § 1983, the statute of limitations is three years. See Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2) (eff. June 12, 2018) (previously § 600.5805(10)); Carroll v. Wilkerson, 782 F.2d 44, 44 (6th Cir. 1986) (per curiam); Stafford v. Vaughn, No. 97-2239, 1999 WL 96990, at *1 (6th Cir. Feb. 2, 1999).

Laws § 600.5805(2); and three years for intentional infliction of emotional distress (count V), negligent infliction of emotional distress (count V), Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(10).

Section 600.5805(2) imposes a three-year limitations period for personal-injury claims, including § 1983 claims.

Olivares v. Long · filed 2020-07-08(2)

Olivares’s new suit fares no better than his prior ones. First, Olivares filed this Complaint fifteen years after the 2005 order that allegedly harmed him, so this suit is barred by the three-year statute of limitations applicable to § 1983 claims. See Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2) (three-year limitations for personal injuries); Carroll v. Wilkerson, 782 F.2d 44, 44 (6th Cir. 1986) (statute of limitations applicable to personal injuries applies to § 1983 claims).

Dood v. Biomet Orthopedics LLC · filed 2020-11-02(2)

In Michigan, a claim for personal injury must be brought within three years. Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2). Such a claim accrues at the time of injury, even if the plaintiff is unaware of the source of that injury.

Section 600.5805(2) generally imposes a three-year limitations period for actions seeking damages for a person's death or for injury to a person or property.

Price v. Does · filed 2021-02-04(2)

However, that is simply not the case. See Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2) (“Except as otherwise provided in this section, the period of limitations is 3 years after the time of the death or injury for all actions to recover damages for the death of a person or for injury to a person or property”); see also McCune v. Grand Rapids, 842 F.2d 903, 905 (6th Cir. 1988) (requiring federal courts hearing claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to apply the state statute of limitations governing actions for personal injury).

Section 600.5805(10) provides a three-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Michigan.

Price v. Doe · filed 2021-11-09(10)

The statute of limitations for claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 is established with reference to the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in the state where the case arises. See Wilson v. Garcia, 417 U.S. 261, 272 (1985). The same is true for Bivens claims. Id. As Defendants note, in Michigan, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is three years. See Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(10). And Plaintiff agrees “that the statute of limitations for this action is three years.” (ECF No. 35 at PageID.299). Thus, it is undisputed that a three-year statute of limitations applies to Plaintiff’s claims in this action.

Section 600.5805(10) provides a three-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Michigan.

Reid v. City of Detroit · filed 2022-02-15(10)

The statute of limitations for claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 is established with reference to the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in the state where the case arises. See Wilson v. Garcia, 417 U.S. 261, 272 (1985). In Michigan, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is three years. See Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(10). Thus, a three-year statute of limitations applies.

Section 600.5805(2) supplies Michigan’s three-year limitations period for personal-injury claims, which federal courts borrow for § 1983 actions.

Evans v. City of Ann Arbor · filed 2022-02-25(2)

The court agrees that Count I is time-barred and will dismiss the claim. See Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2). ... In Michigan, “the appropriate statute of limitations to be borrowed for § 1983 actions . . . is the state’s three-year limitations period for personal injury claims.”

Garcia, 471 U.S. 261, 272, 105 S.Ct. 1938, 85 L.Ed.2d 254 (1985). Under Michigan law, MCL § 600.5805(10), the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is three years. Chippewa Trading Co. v. Cox, 365 F.3d 538, 543 (6th Cir. 2004).

Garcia, 471 U.S. 261, 272, 105 S.Ct. 1938, 85 L.Ed.2d 254 (1985). Under Michigan law, MCL § 600.5805(10), the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is three years. Chippewa Trading Co. v. Cox, 365 F.3d 538, 543 (6th Cir. 2004). Specifically, the Sixth Circuit has established that Michigan’s three-year statute of limitations governs § 1983 claims. Scott v. Ambani, 577 F.3d 642, 646 (6th Cir. 2009).

Subsection (2) imposes a three-year limitations period on personal-injury claims, including claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

The statue of limitations that applies to Plaintiff’s claims is three years. See Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2)

Section 600.5805(2) sets a three-year limitations period for actions seeking damages for death or injury to a person or property, unless another provision applies.

Gardiner v. Hengeveld · filed 2023-08-17(2)

Generally, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including claims brought under 42 USC 1983, is three years. See MCL 600.5805(2) (“Except as otherwise provided in this section, the period of limitations is 3 years after the time of the death or injury for all actions to recover damages for the death of a person or for injury to a person or property.”); see Wilson v Garcia, 471 US 261, 276; 105 S Ct 1938; 85 L Ed 2d 254 (1985) ... Accordingly, the three-year statute of limitations expired on October 24, 2018, rendering plaintiff’s complaint untimely.

Section 600.5805(2) imposes a three-year limitations period on actions seeking damages for death or injury to a person or property.

Wershe v. City of Detroit · filed 2023-09-18(2)

Under Michigan law, a claim for injury to person or property must be filed within “3 years after the time of the death or injury for all actions to recover damages for the death of a person or for injury to a person or property.” Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2); see also Rapp v. Putman, 644 F. App’x 621, 626 (6th Cir. 2016) (holding the statute of limitations for § 1983 claims in Michigan is “the three-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims.”).

Section 600.5805(2) gives a plaintiff seeking damages for personal injury three years after the injury is sustained to file suit; rules or orders governing how days are counted do not change that statutory period.

Carter v. Dtn Management Company · filed 2024-07-29(1), (2)

Generally, and as applicable here, a plaintiff who seeks damages for personal injury has three years after that injury is sustained during which they may timely sue. MCL 600.5805(2). ... Just as the calculation of time under MCR 1.108(1) can result in a litigant’s having additional days to file their claim, so, too, can the calculation of time under the administrative orders. But this practical addition of time does not transform guidance regarding the computation of time into an amendment of the statute of limitations. The administrative orders do not abrogate or modify MCL 600.5805(1)’s provision that, generally, the limitations period for a personal-injury claim is three years. Instead, it provides that the days during the state of emergency do not count toward that limitations period, just as MCR 1.108(1) declares that the final day of a limitations period will not be counted if it falls on a day the court is closed.

Section 600.5805(2) provides Michigan’s three-year statute of limitations for personal-injury claims, which applies to § 1983 and Bivens claims arising in Michigan.

Richard Wershe, Jr. v. United States · filed 2024-08-08(2)

Likewise, the limitations period for Wershe’s § 1983 and Bivens claims expired before Wershe sued the City Defendants and individual federal Defendants. Section 1983 and Bivens claims lack express statutes of limitations, and instead “borrow the personal-injury statute of limitations from the state in which the claim arose.” Zappone v. United States, 870 F.3d 551, 559 (6th Cir. 2017). Because Wershe’s § 1983 and Bivens claims arose in Michigan, they are subject to Michigan’s three-year statute of limitations for personal-injury claims. See Garza v. Lansing Sch. Dist., 972 F.3d 853, 867 n.8 (6th Cir. 2020) (citing Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2)).

Section 600.5805(2) provides Michigan’s three-year limitations period for personal-injury claims, and because it is an express limitations statute, equitable tolling appears unavailable under Michigan law.

Richard Wershe, Jr. v. United States · filed 2024-08-08(2)

Because Wershe’s § 1983 and Bivens claims are governed by Michigan’s express three-year statute of limitations for personal-injury claims, Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2), equitable tolling appears to be unavailable under Michigan law.

Section 600.5805(2) sets a three-year limitations period for actions seeking damages for death or injury to a person or property.

Daniels v. University of Michigan · filed 2025-02-10(2)

The parties agree that Daniels’s § 1983 claims arose in Michigan, and Michigan’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is expressly prescribed by statute. See id. at 365; see also Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2) (2025) (“[T]he period of limitations is 3 years after the time of the death or injury for all actions to recover damages for the death of a person or for injury to a person or property.”).

Section 600.5805(2) imposes a three-year limitations period after death or injury for actions seeking damages for death or injury to a person or property, unless otherwise provided.

MacKey v. Jeff Rising · filed 2025-05-21(2)

The parties do not dispute that the period of limitations applicable to plaintiff’s claim is set forth in MCL 600.5805(2), which provides: ... Except as otherwise provided in this section, the period of limitations is 3 years after the time of the death or injury for all actions to recover damages for the death of a person or for injury to a person or property. ... Because plaintiff’s complaint alleging intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and negligence was filed outside the limitations period of MCL 600.5805(2), the trial court correctly concluded that plaintiff’s claims were barred by the statute of limitations.

Subsection 600.5805(10) supplies Michigan’s three-year limitations period for personal-injury claims, which applies to § 1983 claims.

Thompson v. Kandulski · filed 2025-07-31(10)

Rodgers v. Oakland County · filed 2021-11-12(10)

In Michigan, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is three years. See MCL § 600.5805(10). ...

Section 600.5805(10) provides a three-year limitations period for personal injury claims, which applies to Fourth Amendment search claims.

Meeks v. Larsen · filed 2014-02-28(10)

In Michigan, personal injury torts have a three year statute of limitations. Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(10) (2013). As such, Plaintiffs should have filed the instant action on March 27, 2013, or threes year after the execution of the search. However Plaintiffs did not file their claims until September 30, 2013.

Section 600.5805(7) imposes a three-year limitations period on an action to recover damages for injury to property, including conversion of a check.

Continental Casualty Co. v. Huron Valley National Bank · filed 1978-08-22(7)

We hold that when a check is converted, the payee-owner has suffered an injury to property within the meaning of MCL 600.5805(7); MSA 27A.5805(7).

Section 600.5805(7)'s three-year limitations period generally requires an action against an added joint tortfeasor to be commenced against that defendant within the period, although a diligent motion for leave to amend may suspend the period.

Amer v. Clarence a Durbin Associates · filed 1978-11-07(7)

Because defendant is not a necessary party, plaintiffs must begin their action against defendant within the limitations period. ... A court action is normally commenced with the filing of a complaint. ... That rule also applies when parties are added as defendants to a suit. ... We then are left with the issue of whether filing a motion for leave to amend a complaint tolls the statute of limitations. ... Our review of the original opinion issued in Forest and the decision on rehearing indicates that, in appropriate circumstances, such a motion may have this effect. These opinions suggest that the deciding factor in this regard is a plaintiff’s diligence in attempting to join the defendant.

Subsection (8) sets a three-year limitation period after the injury for recovering personal-injury damages, but it does not govern an action seeking to impose a corporation's judgment on individual alter egos.

Belleville v. Hanby · filed 1986-04-02(8)

The question presented through this appeal, then, is whether the statute of limitation which governs plaintiffs’ cause of action is MCL 600.5805(8); MSA 27A.5805(8), which prescribes a period of three years after the injury to recover damages for a personal injury, or MCL 600.5809(3); MSA 27A.5809(3), which sets a ten-year period of limitation for actions founded upon judgments from the time the judgment was rendered. ... Viewed in this light, we believe the applicable statute of limitation is MCL 600.5809(3); MSA 27A.5809(3), i.e., ten years from the time of rendition of the judgment.

The three-year limitation period in § 600.5805(8) does not begin running on the employee’s injury date for a workers’ compensation carrier’s reimbursement action; the period runs from the later settlement and nonreimbursement.

Travelers Insurance v. S & H Tire Co. · filed 1984-04-30(8)

In summary, we do not believe that the applicable period of limitation for a carrier’s suit to enforce its right to reimbursement begins to run on the date of the employee’s injury and expires three years later. Instead, we believe the Legislature intended, and we so hold, that the period begins to run on the date the employee and third party arrive at a settlement and make payment knowing full well of the carrier’s claim but nevertheless not first reimbursing the carrier for workers’ compensation payments previously made. Whether the period of limitation from the date of accrual is three years or six years, we decline to decide, the carrier’s claim having been filed in the instant case within three years from the date of accrual.

Section 600.5805(8) requires an employment-discrimination action under the Michigan Civil Rights Act to be filed within three years after the cause of action accrues.

Briggs v. Barden Cablevision of Inkster, Inc. · filed 1987-07-10(8)

An action for employment discrimination under the Civil Rights Act must be brought within three years after the cause of action accrued, MCL 600.5805(8); MSA 27A.5805(8); Mair v Consumers Power Co, 419 Mich 74, 77; 348 NW2d 256 (1984).

Section 600.5805(1) sets a general three-year limitation period for personal injury actions.

Perreault v. Hostetler · filed 1989-09-01(1)

Accordingly, we AFFIRM the decision of the district court that Michigan’s applicable statute of limitations, which we deem to be three years, bars this claim, and that the tolling provision does not apply under the circumstances of this case. ... The district court did not cite the specific limitations statute. MCLA § 600.5805(1) sets a general three-year limitation period for personal injury actions. Subsection (5) of the statute, however, sets a two-year period of limitation for actions against a sheriff or sheriffs deputies. It makes no material difference whether a two-year or three-year period is used in this case. The question is whether the statute is tolled by plaintiffs imprisonment.

Section 600.5805(8) imposes a three-year limitations period on actions for injury to property.

Horvath v. Delida · filed 1995-09-29(8)

The statutory period of limitation for injury to property is three years. MCL 600.5805(8); MSA 27A.5805(8). ... Here, defendants’ alleged negligent act occurred in 1982 when they dredged the lake. ... Under these facts, we are compelled to conclude that plaintiffs’ cause of action for ordinary negligence accrued more than three years before their complaint was filed in 1992. ... Accordingly, plaintiffs’ negligence claim is time-barred.

Section 600.5805(8) requires intentional-infliction-of-emotional-distress claims to be brought within three years after they accrue.

Nelson v. Ho · filed 1997-05-15(8)

Claims of intentional infliction of emotional distress must be brought within three years after they accrue in order to avoid the limitation bar. ... MCL 600.5805; MSA 27A.5805. ... As a result, the running of the limitation period was triggered, at the latest, in January 1991, which would make plaintiffs March 1994 filing untimely.

Section 600.5805(8) imposes a three-year limitation period on actions for injuries to property.

FOREST CITY v. Leemon Oil Co. · filed 1998-05-05(8)

MCL 600.5805(8); MSA 27A.5805(8) provides a three-year limitation period for actions for injuries to property. ... Forest City's nuisance claim is barred by the statute of limitations.

Section 600.5805(1) and (8) imposes a three-year limitations period for injury-to-property claims, and in a commercial conversion case the period runs from the conversion rather than discovery.

Brennan v. Edward D Jones & Co · filed 2001-05-07(1), (8)

A claim for the conversion of a forged instrument is governed by the three-year statute of limitations applicable to injuries to persons or property. ... MCL 600.5805 sets forth the period of limitation for injury to property or persons, stating, in pertinent part: ... (8) The period of limitations is 3 years after the time of the death or injury for all other actions to recover damages for the death of a person, or for injury to a person or property. ... In this case, the last negotiation of the forged certificates occurred in 1990. Accordingly, absent application of the discovery rule, the limitation period began to run at the time the conversion of the certificates occurred and plaintiffs were required to file their claim no later than 1993. ... We conclude that the strong public policies favoring finality in commercial transactions, protecting a defendant from stale claims, and requiring a plaintiff to diligently pursue his claim outweigh the prejudice to plaintiffs and militate against applying the discovery rule in the context of commercial conversion cases.

Section 600.5805 requires a plaintiff to commence an action within three years of each adverse employment act and does not permit the continuing-violations doctrine to revive claims for injuries outside that period.

Garg v. MacOmb Co Comm Mental Health · filed 2005-05-11(1) and (10)

Thus, § 5805 requires a plaintiff to commence an action within three years of each adverse employment act by a defendant. Section 5805 does not say that a claim outside this three-year period can be revived if it is somehow "sufficiently related" to injuries occurring within the limitations period. Rather, the statute simply states that a plaintiff "shall not" bring a claim for injuries outside the limitations period. Nothing in these provisions permits a plaintiff to recover for injuries outside the limitations period when they are susceptible to being characterized as "continuing violations." To allow recovery for such claims is simply to extend the limitations period beyond that which was expressly established by the Legislature.

Section 600.5805(8) bars claims filed more than three years after they accrued.

Norwood v. Michigan Department of Corrections · filed 2003-05-28(8)

Second, we agree with the district court that any claims based on threats allegedly made by Marsehke in 1989,1991, and 1992 were barred by the statute of limitations. ... Norwood did not file his district court complaint until June 2002, so his claims accrued more than three years before he filed his complaint.

Kirschke v. Schooley · filed 2020-06-04(2)

State statutes of limitations and tolling principles apply to determine the timeliness of claims raised in lawsuits brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. ...

Estate of Richie Majors v. Gerlach · filed 2020-07-28(2)

Pursuant to this framework, we have held that § 1983 claims in Michigan are subject to a three-year statute of limitations. Carroll v. Wilkerson, 782 F.2d 44, 44 (6th Cir. 1986) (per curiam); see also Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2) (“[T]he period of limitations is 3 years after the time of the death or injury for all actions to recover damages for the death of a person or for injury to a person or property.”).

Subsection (10)'s three-year limitations period for personal-injury actions applies to § 1983 civil-rights claims absent tolling.

Frontczak v. City of Detroit · filed 2021-09-28(10)

Both parties seem to agree (correctly) that Michigan's three-year statute of limitations for personal injury actions, Mich. Comp. Laws. § 600.5805(10), applies to Plaintiff's section 1983 civil rights claims absent tolling.

Section 600.5805(2) sets a three-year limitations period for actions seeking damages for a person's death or for injury to a person or property.

Davis v. Spehar · filed 2021-04-20(2)

Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2) ("[T]he period of limitations is 3 years after the time of death or injury for all actions to recover damages for the death of a person or for injury to a person or property."). The limitations period for claims alleging unlawful search and seizure runs from "'the time of injury,' when the plaintiff becomes aware of" the alleged violation. ... Because Plaintiff filed the complaint outside the limitations period the suit is time barred, and the Court must grant the motion to dismiss.

Section 600.5805(2) provides a three-year limitations period for personal-injury actions, which federal courts borrow for § 1983 claims arising in Michigan.

Evans v. City of Ann Arbor, Mich. · filed 2023-08-10(2)

For purposes of § 1983, we borrow from the state statute of limitations applicable to personal injury actions. ... Michigan imposes a three-year statute of limitations for personal injury suits. Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2).

Section 600.5805(2) sets a three-year limitations period for actions seeking damages for personal injury.

Ward v. County of Wayne · filed 2024-09-11(2)

Ward’s claims arose under Michigan law, and therefore Michigan’s three-year statute of limitations for personal injury actions applies. See Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2); Wolfe v. Perry, 412 F.3d 707, 714 (6th Cir. 2005).

See MCL 600.5805(2); see also Garg v Macomb County Comm Mental Health, 472 Mich 263, 284-285; 696 NW2d 646 (2005) (finding the three-year statute of limitations for death or personal injury, now MCL 600.5805(2), applies generally to ELCRA claims).

Section 600.5805(10) provides a three-year limitations period for personal injury actions that applies to § 1983 claims in Michigan.

Awrey v. Gilbertson · filed 2011-06-30(10)

First, the claim is barred by the applicable statute of limitations because Plaintiff was informed of his ineligibility by the University on October 13, 2007, and he did not file his complaint until more than three years later on November 29, 2010. See McCune v. City of Grand Rapids, 842 F.2d 903, 905 (6th Cir.1988) (concluding the applicable statute of limitations in § 1983 cases is the state’s statute of limitations in personal injury actions); Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(10) (Michigan’s three-year statute of limitations for personal injury actions).

Section 600.5805 provides a three-year limitations period for actions to recover damages for injury to persons and property.

Drapefair, Inc. v. Beitner · filed 1979-04-16

Since the carrier’s position vis-á-vis the third-party defendants, in Count I, is as subrogee of the employee’s right to recover for personal injury, the applicable statute of limitations is three years. MCL 600.5805; MSA 27A.5805. ... Without expressing an opinion as to the merits of the carrier’s claims against each of the defendants in Count II, we note that, unlike those in Count I, these claims were not governed by the three-year statute of limitations for actions to recover damages for injury to persons and property. MCL 600.5805; MSA 27A.5805. Rather the general six-year statute of limitations applied to the claims set forth in Count II.

Section 600.5805(7) sets a three-year limitations period for actions seeking damages for injury to persons or property, and the court applied it to inverse-condemnation claims alleging injury to real property.

Hart v. City of Detroit · filed 1980-06-02(7)

Since Michigan appellate courts have consistently interpreted the term "taking” to include injury to, and diminution in the value of, real property, we are persuaded that the statute of limitations covering injury to property was the appropriate one to apply to the "taking” conceded to have occurred here, and therefore we so hold. ... We are compelled to hold that the action was not timely brought by them under MCL 600.5805(7); MSA 27A.5805(7), as then in effect. Therefore, as to those plaintiffs, the action was barred by the above-cited provision.

Section 600.5805(8) imposes a three-year statute of limitations on actions for personal injuries.

Hollis v. Zabowski · filed 1980-11-05(8)

Plaintiffs brought the present suit for personal injuries arising from an auto accident which occurred on July 10, 1976. The statute of limitations for actions for personal injuries is three years. MCL 600.5805(8); MSA 27A.5805(8). Plaintiffs’ complaint was processed and date-stamped by the court clerk on July 12, 1979. The trial court found that plaintiffs’ complaint was "filed” on July 12, 1979, and granted accelerated judgment in defendants’ favor based upon the expiration of the statute of limitations. Plaintiffs appeal as of right.

Section 600.5805 applies to actions seeking damages for injury to persons or property, and the nature of the injury—not the claim’s label—determines whether its three-year provision in subsection (8) or two-year malpractice provision in subsection (4) governs.

Bacco Construction Co. v. American Colloid Co. · filed 1986-01-21(8) and (4)

We initially note for the purpose of clarification that, although frequently referred to as the "negligence” statute of limitations, MCL 600.5805; MSA 27A.5805 expressly applies to actions to recover damages for injuries to persons or property and not specifically to negligence actions. ... The focus is on the nature of the injury, not the label attached to the claim. Negligence claims which do not seek recovery for injuries to persons or property are not governed by this section of the Revised Judicature Act. ... Accordingly, the general six-year period of limitation set forth in MCL 600.5813; MSA 27A.5813 applies, rather than the statutory exception for injuries to persons or property set forth in MCL 600.5805(8); MSA 27A.5805(8). Similarly, since plaintiff has not suffered an injury to property or persons, the two-year malpractice statute of limitations set forth in MCL 600.5805(4); MSA 27A.5805(4) does not apply, as that subsection too by its language only governs suits for injuries to persons or property.

Section 600.5805(8) provides a three-year limitations period for an action to recover for injury to a person, rather than the two-year period for assault and battery under subsection (2).

Smith v. Mirror Lite Co. · filed 1992-09-30(2), (8)

Defendant argues that plaintiff’s claim is subject to the two-year statute of limitations that applies to assault and battery. MCL 600.5805(2); MSA 27A.5805(2). We disagree. Plaintiff’s claim was brought as an action to recover for injury to a person, and therefore is subject to a three-year statute of limitations. MCL 600.5805(8); MSA 27A.5805(8).

Section 600.5805(10) provides a three-year limitations period for personal injury actions, which applies to § 1983 claims in Michigan.

Trefry v. Phillips · filed 2011-06-30(10)

Claims brought pursuant to § 1983 are subject to state statute of limitations for personal injury actions. ... In Michigan the general statute of limitations for personal injury actions is three years.

Subsection (2) gives claims for injury to property a three-year limitations period.

Cordts v. Griffis · filed 2020-03-16(2)

Michigan’s statute of limitations for “injury to . . . property” is three years. Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2).

For actions seeking damages for a person's death or injury to a person or property, § 600.5805(2) generally sets a three-year limitations period after the death or injury, unless the section provides otherwise.

Coates v. Ford Motor Company · filed 2020-06-10(2)

Coates’s claims sound in products liability. The accident giving rise to this action occurred on September 22, 2016. The statute of limitations in Michigan for such claims is three years. See MCL 600.5805(2) (“Except as otherwise provided in this section, the period of limitations is 3 years after the time of the death or injury for all actions to recover damages for the death of a person or for injury to a person or property.”).

Subsection (2) supplies a three-year limitations period for personal-injury actions, which federal courts borrow for civil-rights claims arising in Michigan.

Sadeghi-Staffeld · filed 2025-12-18(2)

When a civil rights action against a federal agency arises in Michigan, federal courts borrow the state’s three-year limitations period for personal injury actions. Haines v. Fed. Motor Carrier Safety Admin., 814 F.3d 417, 430 (6th Cir. 2016); see also Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2). Federal law governs the accrual date for the statute of limitations.

Section 600.5805(2) provides a three-year limitations period for Michigan personal-injury actions, which governs § 1983 claims.

Phillips · filed 2026-01-12(2)

For such actions in Michigan, the statute of limitations is three years. Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2); Carroll v. Wilkerson, 782 F.2d 44, 44 (6th Cir. 1986) (per curiam). ... To the extent Phillips experienced a constitutional injury, that injury occurred no later than 2007, when the two cases were filed. Because Phillips had reason to know of his injury at that time, his claims, asserted in this Court—almost two decades later in 2026—are untimely.

Subsection (7) imposes a three-year limitations period on claims alleging injuries to persons and property.

Cobb v. Mid-Continent Telephone Service Corp. · filed 1979-05-22(7)

Although plaintiffs cause of action is grounded upon a theory of breach of contract, the damages sought are for mental distress, damage to reputation and embarrassment. Under these circumstances, plaintiff is alleging "injuries to persons and property”, MCL 600.5805(7); MSA 27A.5805(7), and the 3-year statute of limitations was correctly applied.

Subsection (7) gives wrongful-death claims a three-year limitations period running from the decedent’s death.

Reiterman v. Westinghouse, Inc · filed 1981-06-03(7)

It is well established that the statute of limita*702tions in a wrongful death action is three years from the decedent’s death. MCL 600.5805(7); MSA 27A.5805(7),1 Ruhle v Armstrong, 20 Mich App 573; 174 NW2d 292 (1969), aff'd 384 Mich 709; 187 NW2d 223 (1971), Coury v General Motors Corp, 376 Mich 248; 137 NW2d 134 (1965). ... Plaintiff knew at the date of decedent’s death that the faulty machine caused his injury. At that time, it was incumbent upon her to discover, within three years, the various manufacturers of the possible faulty mechanisms. ... By holding that the statute of limitations begins to run on the date of death, it is not necessary to hold void the discovery rule established in the breach of warranty statute.

Subsection (8) gives negligence actions a three-year statute of limitations.

H. Hirschfield Sons, Co. v. Colt Industries Operating Corp. · filed 1981-07-08(8)

Count III of plaintiff’s complaint states a cause of action alleging negligence. The statute of limitations for negligence actions is three years. MCL 600.5805(8); MSA 27A.5805(8). A cause of action sounding in negligence "accrues at the time the wrong upon which the claim is based was done regardless of the time when damage results.” MCL 600.5827; MSA 27A.5827. The trial court properly found that the negligence claim accrued when the defective installation occurred. Thus, the trial court was correct in concluding that with respect to Count III the statute of limitations had run and that defendant’s motion for accelerated judgment should be granted.

Section 600.5805(7) provides a three-year limitation for actions to recover damages for injuries to persons or property and applies to traditional, primarily common-law torts.

Citizens for Pretrial Justice v. Goldfarb · filed 1982-12-20(7)

The present case does not involve an injury to person or property within the meaning of § 5805(7). That statute applies to traditional, primarily common-law, torts.

Subsection (8) imposes a three-year limitations period on the conspiracy and intentional-infliction claims at issue.

Mays v. Three Rivers Rubber Corp · filed 1984-06-04(8)

All of the parties and the trial court agree that the applicable limitation period is three years as provided under MCL 600.5805(8); MSA 27A.5805(8), formerly MCL 600.5805(7); MSA 27A.5805(7). ... We believe that when the hearing referee issued his workers’ compensation award on May 19, 1976, plaintiff knew or should have known of his conspiracy claim against the defendants. Plaintiff thus had three years from that date to file his conspiracy complaint but failed to do so until nearly one year after the expiration of that period. We thus affirm the trial court’s grant of accelerated judgment on Counts I and III.

Section 600.5805(7) applies a three-year limitations period to an employee's personal-injury damages claim arising from employment discrimination.

Slayton v. Michigan Host, Inc · filed 1985-08-05(7)

The three-year period of limitations for injuries to a person in MCL 600.5805(7) is applicable to an employee alleging discrimination in employment practices. ... Thus, the trial court was correct in applying this statute to limit the scope of damages recoverable by plaintiff to those occurring within three years of the date of plaintiffs filing her complaint.

Section 600.5805(8) requires actions for injuries to person or property to be brought within three years of the injury.

McNeil v. Salan · filed 1992-05-14(8)

This statute requires that actions for injuries to person or property be brought within three years of the time of the injury. Because the complaint in this case was filed on June 27, 1990, the applicable statute of limitations would bar actions brought for injuries to the plaintiff occurring before June 27, 1987.

Section 5805(8) requires actions to recover injuries to persons or property to be brought within three years after the claim accrues.

Bay Mills Indian Community v. State · filed 2001-04-23(8)

Actions to recover for injuries to persons or property must be brought within three years after the claim accrues, MCL 600.5805(8); MSA 27A.5805(8), and this period has applied since 1915.

Subsection 5805(10) imposes a three-year limitations period for other actions seeking damages for injury to a person or property.

Howard v. City of Detroit · filed 2003-07-14(10)

The statute of limitations applicable to these claims is found in Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(10), which provides that “[t]he period of limitations is 3 years after the time of ... injury for all other actions to recover damages for ... injury to a person or property.”

Subsection 5805(10) provides a three-year limitations period for the relevant personal-injury claims under Michigan law.

Xu v. Michigan State University · filed 2006-08-24(10)

Under Michigan law, the limitations period is three years. Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(10) (2005); see also Carroll v. Wilkerson, 782 F.2d 44, 45 (6th Cir. 1986) (finding the relevant limitations period in Michigan to be three years). As Xu filed his complaint on December 7, 2004, his cause of action must have accrued no earlier than December 7, 2001.

Section 600.5805(10)'s three-year limitations period does not bar a cause of action added under MCL 600.2957(2) when the original complaint was filed within three years of the accident.

Bint v. Doe · filed 2007-02-06(10)

It is undisputed that plaintiffs’ second amended complaint was filed beyond the three-year limitations period. MCL 600.5805(10). To determine whether a court rule and a statute conflict, both are read according to their plain meanings. Staff, supra at 530. MCL 600.2957(2) provides that “[a] cause of action added under this subsection is not barred by a period of limitation unless the cause of action would have been barred by a period of limitation at the time of the filing of the original action.” MCR 2.112(K) contains no language regarding periods of limitations. Therefore, there is no conflict between the court rule and the statute. Because plaintiffs filed their original complaint within three years of the accident, MCL 600.5805(10) does not apply.

Section 600.5805(10) provides a three-year limitations period for injury-to-person claims, but it does not bar a cause of action added under § 600.2957(2) when the original action was filed within three years.

Bint v. Doe · filed 2007-05-14(10)

It is undisputed that plaintiffs' second amended complaint was filed beyond the three-year limitations period. MCL 600.5805(10). To determine whether a court rule and a statute conflict, both are read according to their plain meanings. Staff, supra at 530, 619 N.W.2d 57. MCL 600.2957(2) provides that "[a] cause of action added under this subsection is not barred by a period of limitation unless the cause of action would have been barred by a period of limitation at the time of the filing of the original action." MCR 2.112(K) contains no language regarding periods of limitations. Therefore, there is no conflict between the court rule and the statute. Because plaintiffs filed their original complaint within three years of the accident, MCL 600.5805(10) does not apply.

Section 600.5805(10) imposes a three-year limitations period on actions seeking damages for injury to a person or property, including conversion of personal property.

Tillman v. Great Lakes Truck Center, Inc · filed 2007-12-10(10)

The statute referenced in Janiszewski stated, “Actions to recover damages for injuries to person or property and actions for trespass upon lands shall be brought within 3 years from the time said actions accrue, and not afterwards.” It was therefore, in relevant part, the predecessor statute to MCL 600.5805(10), which now provides, “The period of limitations is 3 years after the time of the death or injury for all other actions to recover damages for the death of a person, or for injury to a person or property.” ... The trial court correctly determined that Janiszewski, supra, was controlling on the issue whether an action for conversion is an action to recover damages for injury to property. Therefore, the three-year period of limitations of MCL 600.5805(10) applied, and we need not address plaintiffs remaining argument on appeal.

Section 600.5805(10) imposes a three-year limitations period on actions seeking damages for injury to property, including property-damage claims pleaded as negligence, trespass, nuisance, or conspiracy.

Terlecki v. Stewart · filed 2008-04-22(10)

We conclude that plaintiffs’ claim for money damages for injury to plaintiffs’ property is a claim for injury to property within the plain text of MCL 600.5805(10), whether the claim is for the death of trees or for the submersion of the land. The claim accrued “[e]xcept as otherwise expressly provided ... at the time the wrong upon which the claim is based was done regardless of the time when damage results.” MCL 600.5827. Whether “the wrong” is viewed as the raising of the spillway (1997), or the capping of the culvert (2001), or the flooding of plaintiffs’ property and resulting death of tress (2001 and before), plaintiffs 2005 lawsuit was filed more than three years after the time of the injury to property. MCL 600.5805(10). Consequently, plaintiffs’ claim for money damages is time-barred.

Section 600.5805(9) imposes a three-year limitations period on actions to recover damages for death or injury, measured from when the claim accrues.

Joliet v. Pitoniak · filed 2006-05-31(9)

All of plaintiffs claims against the defendants are subject to the three-year period of limitations in MCL 600.5805(9).

Section 600.5805(10) gives three years to bring an action for injury to a person or property, and later additional harm from the same completed act does not restart the limitations period after the claim accrues.

Marilyn Froling Revocable Living Trust v. Bloomfield Hills Country Club · filed 2009-04-09(10)

Subsequent claims of additional harm caused by one act do not restart the claim previously accrued. For the purposes of accrual, there need only be one wrong and one injury to begin the running of the period of limitations. In sum, the accrual of the claim occurs when both the act and the injury first occur, that is when the “wrong is done.” ... Accordingly, we conclude that, applying the plain language of MCL 600.5805(10), the trial court properly granted the neighbors summary disposition on the ground that the Froling Trust’s claim was untimely.

Section 600.5805(10) imposes a three-year limitations period for actions seeking damages for injury to a person or property, barring recovery for damage from pre-limitations-period negligence but allowing claims for later wrongful maintenance and resulting erosion.

Howard v. Glenn Haven Shores Association · filed 2016-07-07(10)

To the extent that defendant negligently maintained the berm before October 28, 2010—i.e. three years before plaintiffs filed their complaint—any damage resulting from that alleged negligence was time-barred under MCL 600.5805(10). In other words, plaintiffs cannot recover damages for erosion that occurred before October 28, 2010. However, to the extent that plaintiffs allege defendant continued to maintain the berm in a negligent manner after October 28, 2010, which resulted in further erosion, those claims are not time-barred under MCL 600.5805(10).

Subsections (1) and (10) require actions seeking damages for injury to property to be filed within three years after the injury.

Morse v. Colitti · filed 2016-10-18(1), (10)

A plaintiff shall not bring an action to recover damages for injury to property unless, after the claim first accrued to the plaintiff, the action is commenced within the limitations period. MCL 600.5805(1). “[T]he period of limitations is 3 years after the time of the death or injury for all actions to recover damages for the death of a person, or for injury to a person or property.” MCL 600.5805(10).

Section 600.5805(10) imposes a three-year limitations period on conversion claims because they are actions to recover damages for injury to property.

Korean American Scholarship Fund v. Kim · filed 2017-10-26(10)

The trial court erred as a matter of law in applying the six-year statute of limitations because this Court has held that a claim for conversion is subject to the three-year statute of limitations set forth MCL 600.5805(10) for “all other actions to recover damages for the death of a person, or for injury to a person or property”.

Subsection (10) provides a three-year limitations period for property-damage claims arising from negligence or nuisance, running from when the claim accrues—when the wrong is done—regardless of when the damage results.

Henry v. Dow Chemical Company · filed 2018-01-24(10)

MCL 600.5827 provides that the three-year limitations period for property damage claims arising out of negligence or nuisance, MCL 600.5805(10), begins to run from “the time the claim accrues,” and “the claim accrues at the time the wrong upon which the claim is based was done regardless of the time when damage results.”

Section 600.5805(10) imposes a three-year limitations period on actions seeking damages for injury to property.

Sun Yu v. Migliazzo · filed 2018-07-03(10)

MCL 600.5805(10) provides, “Except as otherwise provided in this section, the period of limitations is 3 years after the time of the death or injury for all actions to recover damages for the death of a person, or for injury to a person or property.” ... Plaintiffs concede that their negligent repair claim is a claim for injury to property and is therefore subject to the three-year limitations period of MCL 600.5805(10).

Section 600.5805(2) imposes a three-year limitations period for injury to a person or property, beginning when the wrong and injury occur, and a later increase in harm does not restart the period.

Burton v. Michigan Sugar Company · filed 2019-03-14(2)

Claims of damage to person or property are subject to a three-year statute of limitations pursuant to MCL 600.5805, which provides in relevant part: ... (2) . . . the period of limitations is 3 years after the time of the . . . injury for all actions to recover damages . . . for injury to a person or property. ... We conclude that the wrong coupled with the injury triggered the running of the three-year period of limitations under MCL 600.5805(2) before November 7, 2013. ... Plaintiffs’ allegations that defendant’s wrong recently increased the severity of the noxious odors emissions does not change the accrual of plaintiffs’ claims or the running of the three-year limitations period because the elements of plaintiffs’ claims were all present long before November 7, 2013.

Section 600.5805(10) provides a three-year limitations period for personal-injury claims, including invasion-of-privacy claims.

Green v. Lansing Automakers Federal Credit Union · filed 2019-08-13(10)

The parties agree that the 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury suits also applies to this claim, and rightfully so. See MCL 600.5805(10); Derderian v Genesys Health Care Sys, 263 Mich App 364, 386; 689 NW2d 145 (2004).

Section 600.5805(10), now § 600.5805(2), requires an action for injury to a person or property to be filed within three years after the injury, unless the statute provides otherwise.

Packard v. Brown · filed 2019-08-22(10) (now (2))

When the trial court issued its decision in this matter, the applicable statute of limitations for plaintiff’s claim was set forth in MCL 600.5805(10) (now MCL 600.5805(2)). ... (10) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the period of limitations is 3 years after the time of the death or injury for all actions to recover damages for the death of a person or for injury to a person or property. [MCL 600.5805.] ... Because the limitations period in this case did not expire until after Brown’s death, the claim was not “barred by a statute of limitations at the time of the decedent’s death,” and the second sentence of MCL 700.3802(1) does not apply. ... Therefore, the limitations period was suspended from June 3, 2017 to October 3, 2017, at which time it began to run again, and it subsequently expired on May 8, 2018—four months later than it would have expired but for Brown’s death.

Section 600.5805(2) imposes a three-year limitations period, requiring a claim to be commenced within three years after it accrues.

Steele v. American Honda Motor CO., Inc. · filed 2019-09-05(2)

The untimeliness of plaintiff’s claims against Zeigler is undebatable. Plaintiff concedes that both of his claims (product liability and handicap discrimination) are subject to the three-year limitations period of Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2). See Am. Compl. ¶ 9; Pl.’s Resp. to Zeigler’s Mot. to Dismiss at 6. His claims accrued on March 10, 2016, the date on which he alleges he was injured. See Am. Compl. ¶¶ 6, 8. Plaintiff therefore had to commence suit against Zeigler no later than March 10, 2019. He missed this filing deadline by nearly four months.

Section 600.5805(2) gives a three-year limitations period for § 1983 civil-rights claims filed in Michigan.

Tippins 342855 v. Parish · filed 2019-10-15(2)

For civil rights suits filed in Michigan under § 1983, the statute of limitations is three years. See Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2); Carroll v. Wilkerson, 782 F.2d 44 (6th Cir. 1986) (per curiam); Stafford v. Vaughn, No. 97-2239, 1999 WL 96990, at *1 (6th Cir. Feb. 2, 1999). ... All of the actions about which Plaintiff complains occurred in 2019, well within the three-year period of limitations. Those claims are not at risk of being time-barred.

Section 600.5805(2) imposes a three-year limitations period for the relevant personal-injury claims, applied from the date of revision surgery.

Williams v. Smith & Nephew Inc. · filed 2020-01-24(2)

Michigan has a three-year statute of limitations, Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2), (12), and no applicable discovery rule, id. § 600.5827.!° As the court previously ruled, Michigan actions thus accrue on the date of each plaintiffs revision surgery.

Subsection (2) generally imposes a three-year limitations period for actions seeking damages for death or injury to a person or property, unless another provision applies.

Coates v. Ford Motor Company · filed 2020-05-14(2)

See MCL 600.5805(2) (“Except as otherwise provided in this section, the period of limitations is 3 years after the time of the death or injury for all actions to recover damages for the death of a person or for injury to a person or property.”).

Section 600.5805 requires an ordinary-negligence claim to be brought within three years after the person is injured.

WILLIAMS v. Detroit, City of · filed 2021-03-24(2)

For § 1983 actions arising in Michigan, federal courts borrow the state's three-year limitations period for personal injury actions. Wolfe v. Perry, 412 F.3d 707, 714 (6th Cir. 2005) (citations omitted); Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2) ("[T]he period of limitations is 3 years after the time of death or injury for all actions to recover damages for the death of a person or for injury to a person or property.").

Section 600.5805(2) imposes a three-year limitations period for personal-injury claims in Michigan.

De Leon v. Grandville, City of · filed 2022-10-14(2)

State statute of limitations and tolling principles govern when determining the timeliness of § 1983 claims. ... In Michigan, this period is three years. Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2). ... Thus, because De Leon filed his § 1983 claims on May 12, 2022—after the three-year statute of limitations expired in 2021—these claims are time-barred.

Section 600.5805(2) establishes a three-year limitations period for negligence actions.

The statutory period of limitations for negligence actions is three years. MCL 600.5805(2).

Section 600.5805(2)'s three-year limitations period for injury to a person or property does not apply to statutory PPPA privacy claims because they are not traditional common-law torts.

Bozung v. Christianbook, LLC · filed 2023-03-06(2)

Christianbook argues that Bozung’s claim is untimely. It argues that the three-year statute of limitations in Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2) (for injury to a person or property) applies to PPPA claims, as opposed to the six-year statute of limitations in Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5813 (the catch-all limitations period for personal actions). ... Because a violation of the right to privacy protected by the PPPA is not a traditional, common-law tort, then § 600.5805 does not apply.

Section 600.5805(1) requires actions for injury to persons or property to be brought within the applicable limitations period, and subsection (2) sets that period at three years.

Murray v. Trinity Health Michigan · filed 2023-03-30(1) and (2)

The limitations period for both nuisance and trespass is three years under MCL 600.5805(1) and (2),3 which applies to claims involving injuries to a person or property. See Marilyn Froling Revocable Living Trust v Bloomfield Hills Country Club, 283 Mich App 264, 279; 769 NW2d 234 (2009). MCL 600.5805 provides, in pertinent part: ... (1) A person shall not bring or maintain an action to recover damages for injuries to persons or property unless, after the claim first accrued to the plaintiff or to someone through whom the plaintiff claims, the action is commenced within the periods of time prescribed by this section. ... (2) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the period of limitations is 3 years after the time of the death or injury for all actions to recover damages for the death of a person or for injury to a person or property. ... Thus, under Froling Trust, plaintiff cannot rely on a continuing-wrongs theory to extend the limitations period.

Subsection (2) provides a three-year limitations period for conversion claims.

Balsamo v. D'Anna · filed 2023-05-18(2)

It is undisputed that Balsamo’s conversion claim is governed by the three-year period of limitations set forth in MCL 600.5805(2). ... Accepting Balsamo’s allegations as true, in 2009 (or earlier) defendants exercised dominion over the income, distributions, dividends, remuneration, compensation and value that he was supposed to receive as a 12.5% member of Dalcoma. ... Finally, defendants exercised dominion over his 12.5% membership interest in Dalcoma in 2014 when his citizenship issues were cured and they failed to restore his membership interest. Because Balsamo did not file his claim until January 22, 2021, the trial court did not err in determining that his conversion claim was barred by the three-year statute of limitations.

Section 600.5805(2) requires claims for injury to a person or property to be filed within three years after the death or injury.

Wershe v. United States · filed 2023-09-18(2)

Under Michigan law, a claim for injury to person or property must be filed within “3 years after the time of the death or injury for all actions to recover damages for the death of a person or for injury to a person or property.” Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2); see also Rapp v. Putman, 644 F. App’x 621, 626 (6th Cir. 2016) (holding the statute of limitations for § 1983 claims in Michigan is “the three-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims.”).

Subsection (2)'s three-year limitations period applies to the IIED and abuse-of-process claims, but COVID-related tolling prevented the period from expiring before the complaint was filed.

Bellefant v. Matrix Human Services · filed 2023-09-21(2)

The parties do not dispute that Carreker’s IIED and abuse-of-process claims were subject to the three-year limitations period in MCL 600.5805(2). ... Under the applicable three-year limitations period, because Carreker’s IIED and abuse-of-process claims accrued on April 5, 2017, she ordinarily would have had until April 5, 2020, to timely file her claims. However, AO 2020-3 tolled the limitations period effective March 23, 2020, before the three-year period expired. Plaintiffs filed their complaint on April 21, 2020, before AO 2020-3 was rescinded and while the limitations period was still tolled. Accordingly, because AO 2020-3 tolled the applicable three-year limitations period effective March 23, 2020, before the period expired, and because plaintiffs filed this action on April 21, 2020, before the limitations period resumed running, the trial court erred by dismissing Carreker’s IIED and abuse-of-process claims on the basis of the statute of limitations.

Section 600.5805(2) provides a three-year limitations period for claims to recover damages for injury to a person or property, including claims founded on a duty imposed by law rather than breach of a promise.

Eggleston v. Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation · filed 2023-09-29(2)

Under MCL § 600.5805(2), the general limitations period “to recover damages … for injury to a person or property” is three years. ... Notwithstanding its guidance to apply limitations periods to equitable claims by analogy, the Michigan Supreme Court has held that when a claim is founded on a duty “imposed by law” rather than the breach of a promise, it is governed by MCL § 600.5805’s three-year limitations period. ... Eggleston’s claim is thus time-barred.

Section 600.5805(2) imposes a three-year limitations period for actions seeking damages for injury to a person or property, barring claims based on harm incurred more than three years before suit.

White v. Floor Savers Maintenance & Restoration Inc · filed 2024-09-05(2)

In general, for actions to recover damages for injury to a person or property, the period of limitations is three years after the injury. MCL 600.5805(2). The limitations period runs from the time the claims accrues. MCL 600.5827. “[T]he claim accrues . . . when all of the elements of the cause of action have occurred and can be alleged in a proper complaint.” ... “Accrual occurs when the wrong is done, meaning the moment when the plaintiff is harmed rather than when the defendant acted.” ... The Court “look[s] to plaintiff’s complaint to determine when the wrong upon which the claim is based was done.” ... Therefore, to the extent those claims are based on harm incurred prior to March 17, 2019, they are time barred by the three-year statute of limitations.

Nameth v. Soviar · filed 2025-06-13(2)

A claim for conversion is subject to the three-year statute of limitations set forth in MCL 600.5805(2), which provides, “the period of limitations is 3 years after the time of death or injury for all actions to recover damages for the death of a person or for injury to a person or property.” Tillman v Great Lakes Truck Ctr, Inc, 277 Mich App 47, 48; 742 NW2d 622 (2007) (quotation marks and citation omitted). Conversion constitutes an injury to property. Id. at 49. ... Considering that Eileen filed her original complaint in 2021, the three-year statute of limitations had clearly expired.

Any claim against Old GM based upon the alleged contamination accrued at the time of that harm, and the statute of limitations began to run at that point.

Section 600.5805(7) sets a three-year limitation for actions to recover damages for injuries to persons or property, but it does not apply to an action seeking restitution of money owed when the harm is only economic deprivation.

Britton v. Fessler & Bowman, Inc. (In Re Britton) · filed 1986-10-30(7)

Instead, the only “harm” “suffered” by the plaintiff is the deprivation of money owed to him. This simply is not the type of harm that the three-year statute of limitations for actions involving personal injury or property damage is meant to cover. ... and for the reasons stated earlier, we hold that this case is not barred by R.J.A. § 5805(7).

Section 600.5805(8) sets a three-year limitations period for actions seeking damages for injury to a person or property.

Wayne County Regional Educational Service Agency v. Pappas · filed 1999-07-14(8)

Section 600.5805(2) sets a three-year limitations period for nuisance claims seeking damages for injury to property.

Section 600.5805(2) gives plaintiffs three years to sue for alleged privacy and emotional-distress injuries occurring during ongoing surveillance.

Zaitona v. Leonowicz · filed 2026-04-08(2)

Applying the reasoning in Fraser to this case, we conclude plaintiffs are not precluded from the instant suit simply because they did not bring it immediately upon the installation of the cameras. Under Fraser, defendants allegedly violate the law as long as they retain their surveillance of plaintiffs’ property, and plaintiffs seek to remedy the violations occurring within the statutory period of limitations—the three-year period preceding this suit. That time period also applies to their claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Section 600.5805 requires an employment-discrimination claim to be filed within three years after accrual, with a discriminatory-discharge claim accruing when the employer discharges the employee.

Womack-Scott v. Department of Corrections · filed 2001-07-31(8) and (9)

A plaintiff who alleges employment discrimination under the CRA must file her claim within three years of the time that it accrued. ... When a plaintiff asserts a claim for discriminatory discharge, which plaintiff did in this case, the time of accrual commences on the date that the employer discharged her from the job. ... In the present case, although plaintiff was technically reinstated for a period as a result of administrative decisions and again discharged, we disagree that the second and final discharge should apply for purposes of calculating the limitation period. ... Accordingly, plaintiffs race and marital status discrimination claims accrued on May 26, 1994, the date of her initial discharge that was allegedly for discriminatory reasons, and thus the trial court properly concluded that the three-year period of limitation barred plaintiffs discrimination claims.

Section 600.5805(7)'s three-year limitations period for an age-discrimination claim begins when the allegedly wrongful discharge occurs, not when the employee later receives vacation or severance pay.

Salisbury v. McLouth Steel Corp. · filed 1979-10-05(7)

Plaintiff’s cause of action accrued on the date he was discharged, January 14, 1974. ... Hence, the cause of action accrued on that date and the fact that plaintiff may have subsequently received vacation or severance pay from defendant is irrelevant.

A medical malpractice action must be filed within two years of accrual or within six months after the plaintiff discovers or should have discovered the claim.

Levinson v. Sklar · filed 1989-08-30(4)

A malpractice action must be brought within two years of the accrual date or within six months after the plaintiff discovers or should have discovered the existence of the claim. MCL 600.5805(4); MSA 27A.5805(4), MCL 600.5838; MSA 27A.5838. ... Plaintiffs’ documents established a material factual question: What effect did Mrs. Levinson’s mental condition have on the date she first acquired the ability to formulate a belief that her medical treatment has been improper? ... Plaintiffs were given neither a jury trial nor an evidentiary hearing to establish when the claim should have been discovered. For that reason, we reverse the decision dismissing the claims against Drs. Trotsky, Stroud, and Schwartz and against Associates. The matter is remanded for an evidentiary hearing or trial.

Section 600.5805 provides a three-year limitations period for the implied-warranty claim, running from discovery of the breach or when it should have been discovered.

Allstate Insurance v. Icon Health & Fitness, Inc. · filed 2005-03-16

Consequently a three-year statute of limitations applies; the period starts to run at the time of the discovery of the breach of warranty or at the time the breach should have been discovered. Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805, 600.5833; ... In this case, the alleged breach was discovered on the date of the fire, October 1, 1999. ... Accordingly, the statute of limitations does not bar the claim for breach of warranty.

Subsection (8) imposes a three-year limitations period on actions alleging tortious interference with economic relations, even when the interference was caused by defamatory statements.

Blazer Foods, Inc v Restaurant Props, Inc, 259 Mich App 241, 253; 673 NW2d 805 (2003); MCL 600.5805(2). ... As there remain questions of fact, we are not convinced that plaintiffs’ tortious-interference claim was time-barred as a matter of law.

Section 600.5805(8) gives claims for intentional interference a three-year limitations period.

Johnson v. Ventra Group, Inc. And Ventratech Limited · filed 1999-09-10(8)

According to the laws of Michigan, claims for intentional interference are governed by a three-year statute of limitations. ... This limitations period began to run at the time of Johnson’s termination on April 7, 1988. Because Johnson did not file suit against Ventra Group and Ventratech until January 13, 1994, his claim is barred by the Michigan statute of limitations.

Section 600.5805(8) imposes a three-year statute of limitations for the action at issue.

Section 600.5805 requires a Civil Rights Act action to be commenced within three years after the claim accrues, measured from each adverse employment act, and does not permit untimely acts to be revived under a continuing-violations theory.

Garg v. MacOmb County Community Mental Health Services · filed 2005-07-18(1) and (10)

Thus, § 5805 requires a plaintiff to commence an action within three years of each adverse employment act by a defendant. Section 5805 does not say that a claim outside this three-year period can be revived if it is somehow “sufficiently related” to injuries occurring within the limitations period. Rather, the statute simply states that a plaintiff “shall not” bring a claim for injuries outside the limitations period. Nothing in these provisions permits a plaintiff to recover for injuries outside the limitations period when they are susceptible to being characterized as “continuing violations.” To allow recovery for such claims is simply to extend the limitations period beyond that which was expressly established by the Legislature.

Section 600.5805 gives strict-products-liability, negligence, fraud, and civil-conspiracy claims a three-year limitations period.

Mayor v. Ford Motor Co., Unpublished Decision (6-24-2004) · filed 2004-06-24

Section 5805(10) imposes a three-year limitations period on negligence actions seeking damages for injury to person or property, measured from accrual.

Schaendorf v. Consumers Energy Co. · filed 2007-09-12(10)

Accordingly, we conclude that the discovery rule is inapplicable to this case as a matter of law. Nonetheless, we disagree with defendant’s assertion that, absent the discovery rule, plaintiffs’ negligence claim is necessarily barred by the three-year period of limitations. ... A claim involving stray voltage accrues when the plaintiff is harmed as a result of stray voltage. ... Therefore, a claim based on stray voltage causing injuries to a dairy herd does not accrue until there are harmful effects to the herd that can be attributed to stray voltage.

Section 600.5805 imposes a three-year limitations period on the negligence claim, which was untimely because the borrowers sued about five years after entering the loan.

Coyer v. HSBC Mortgage Services, Inc. · filed 2012-11-13

Even if the Coyers had stated a negligence claim, that claim is barred by the applicable three-year statute of limitation. See Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805. The Coyers’ claims stem from their allegations that they were not fully made aware of the terms of their mortgage loan when they agreed to the loan in June 2005. However, they did not file their complaint until October 28, 2010, approximately two years beyond the limitations period.

Subsection (10) imposes a three-year statute of limitations, which barred the action because the new complaint was filed after that period expired.

Marsack v. Estate of Laura Gabriel · filed 2013-01-25(10)

Section 600.5805(10) supplies a three-year limitations period for the negligence and nuisance claims, with timeliness turning on whether the claims accrued within the three years before suit.

Howard v. Glenn Haven Shores Association · filed 2016-07-07(10)

In light of the fact that the continuing violations doctrine cannot save plaintiffs’ negligence and nuisance claims if they were filed untimely, the central question before us is whether plaintiffs’ claims are timely under the applicable three-year statute of limitations set forth by MCL 600.5805(10). ...

Garza v. Lansing Sch. District · filed 2020-08-28(2)

In § 1983 cases, “state law determines which statute of limitations applies,” while “federal law determines when the statutory period begins to run.” Harrison v. Michigan, 722 F.3d 768, 772–73 (6th Cir. 2013). Because § 1983 actions “are best characterized as personal injury actions,” federal courts apply the statute of limitations governing personal injury actions in the state where the action was brought. Wilson v. Garcia, 471 U.S. 261, 280 (1985); see also id. at 275–76; Cooey v. Strickland, 479 F.3d 412, 416 (6th Cir. 2007). Thus, § 1983 claims brought in Michigan are subject to its three-year statute of limitations. See Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2). The statutory-period begins to run “when the plaintiff knows or has reason to know that the act providing the basis of his or her injury has occurred.” Collyer v. Darling, 98 F.3d 211, 220 (6th Cir. 1996). Accordingly, the earliest that Plaintiff’s statute of limitations period could have begun to run is October 7, 2014, the day C.G. was injured by Duvall. Plaintiff filed her complaint on November 2, 2015, well within the three-year statute of limitations.

May 6, 2021) (“When § 1983 claims arise in Michigan, as Plaintiffs’ claims do in this instance, ‘the appropriate statute of limitations . . . is [Michigan’s] three-year limitations period for personal injury claims.’” (quoting Wolfe v. Perry, 412 F.3d 707, 714 (6th Cir. 2005); citing Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805)). Thus, the limitations period expired on November 2, 2020.
