The two-year statute of limitations in § 600.5805(3) expired in December 2019.

Groulx v. Iqbal · filed 2024-11-18(1)

Defamation claims are subject to a one-year statute of limitations. MCL 600.5805(1). ... Plaintiff’s slander and libel claims are mostly based on defendants’ creation of the “false narrative” that he suffered from various mental illnesses. Those claims fail for two reasons. First, as discussed, the “false narrative” claims sound in medical malpractice. Second, plaintiff filed his complaints on November 10, 2022, which is more than a year after the “false narrative” was allegedly created and entered in plaintiff’s file.

The Maurer Easement was filed on September 11, 1995, and the slander of title claim accrued on that date. The Association had until September 11, 1996 to file the claim, even though it was not aware of the Maurer Easement until it did a title search on Lot 0 in 2022. See Equity Funding, 342 Mich App at 356. ... Therefore, the statute of limitations for the slander of title claim ran on September 11, 1996, so the trial court was correct to dismiss the slander of title claim.

Forrester v. Clarenceville School District · filed 2021-05-06(2), (6)

Michigan’s general three-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2), covers ELCRA, negligence, and Child Protection Law claims. ... In 2018, Michigan extended its statute of limitations for cases involving criminal sexual conduct. Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(6) states that a ten-year statute of limitations applies to “action[s] to recover damages sustained because of criminal sexual conduct.” ... Michigan’s specific statute of limitations for cases of criminal sexual assault do not apply to Plaintiffs’ federal claims. ... Consequently, the court will decline to exercise jurisdiction over Plaintiffs’ state claims and will dismiss them without prejudice.

Subsection (6)'s special statute of limitations for criminal sexual assault does not apply to § 1983 claims, which use Michigan's general three-year personal-injury limitations period.

Forrester v. Clarenceville School District · filed 2021-06-03(6)

Furthermore, because § 1983 claims must “borrow [a state’s] general or residual statute [of limitations] for personal injury actions,” Owens v. Okure, 488 U.S. 235, 250 (1989), Michigan’s special statutes of limitations for criminal sexual assault, Mich. Comp. Laws §§ 600.5805(6), § 600.5851b, do not apply to the § 1983 claims.

Section 600.5805 bars a personal-injury damages claim unless commenced within the applicable statutory period, which is three years for such injuries; it cannot support dismissal of a defendant who was already automatically dismissed without prejudice before the limitations period expired.

MCL 600.5805(1) states that a person cannot bring a claim against another “to recover damages for injuries to persons or property unless, after the claim first accrued to the plaintiff . . . the action is commenced within the periods of time prescribed by” statute. The statutory limitations period applicable to damages for injuries to persons is three years. MCL 600.5805(2). ... Thus, to the extent that the trial court predicated its dismissal of Doe on MCL 600.5805, the trial court erred because Doe was no longer a party capable of being dismissed.

The statute provides a three-year limitations period for personal-injury claims and two-year limitations periods for the intentional tort claims identified by the court, including false imprisonment and malicious arrest or prosecution.

Williams v. Spagel · filed 2025-08-15(10), (2), and (5)

In Michigan, personal injury claims have a three-year statute of limitations. Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(10). ... And intentional torts, like false imprisonment and malicious arrest or prosecution, have a two-year statute of limitations. Id. (citing Mich. Comp. Laws §§ 600.5805(2) and (5)). ... Even if the Court considered his 2020 jury trial as relevant to his claims, this is well beyond the applicable two- and three-year statutes of limitations.

Subsection (6) gives a 10-year limitations period for an action to recover damages sustained because of criminal sexual conduct, even without a criminal prosecution or conviction.

Pianko v. General R.V. Center, Inc. · filed 2021-07-28(6)

These allegations are sufficient to plausibly allege that the Assault and Battery was the result of criminal sexual conduct. Therefore, under MCL. § 600.5805(6), the statute of limitations for this claim is ten years.

Section 600.5805(2)'s three-year limitation applies to traditional, primarily common-law torts, not a statutory cause of action with no traditional common-law counterpart.

Krassick v. Archaeological Institute of America · filed 2022-06-09(2)

In contrast, a violation of the privacy right protected by the PPPA is not a traditional common-law tort, so § 5805 does not apply.

The medical-malpractice limitations period is tolled while a reasonably diligent motion to amend the complaint to add defendants is pending.

Steele v. Winfield · filed 2022-09-22(8)

Basic hornbook law provides that a plaintiff is permitted to file a complaint within the statute of limitations. Steele filed his motion to file an amended complaint within the statutory limitations period and tolled the running of that period until the circuit court made its decision. Steele then filed his amended complaint before the statute of limitations expired. This was due diligence and the Great Lakes defendants were not entitled to the dismissal of the claims against them.

Section 600.5805(1) requires an action for damages to be filed within the applicable limitations period, and subsection (11) sets that period at one year for libel or slander actions.

Schroeder v. County of Muskegon Dhs · filed 2023-03-23(1), (11)

Under MCL 600.5805(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 applicable period of limitations. “The period of limitations is 1 year for an action charging libel or slander.” MCL 600.5805(11). A claim accrues “at the time the wrong upon which the claim is based was done regardless of the time when damage results.” MCL 600.5827. An action for libel accrues from the date of publication of the libelous statement. Redmond v Heller, 332 Mich App 415, 433; 957 NW2d 357 (2020). The record reflects that plaintiffs based their libel claim on statements published on or about November 26, 2019. Plaintiffs, however, did not file their complaint until October 11, 2021. Their libel claim, therefore, was time-barred by MCL 600.5805(11).

Section 600.5805(11) gives libel and slander claims a one-year limitations period.

Zdravkovski v. Redford, Charter Township of · filed 2023-09-30(11)

Defendants argue that Zdravkovski’s defamation claim is barred by the one-year statute of limitations applicable to libel and slander under Michigan law. ECF No. 21, PageID.216–17; ECF No. 22, PageID.414–15; see also MCL § 600.5805(11). ... Here, it is undisputed that the alleged defamatory statements regarding Zdravkovski’s involvement in drug dealing and firearms smuggling were first made in 2018 or 2019, when Zdravkovski served as Ombudsman. ... To maintain a timely defamation claim, Zdravkovski must show that Defendants repeated those statements after August 30, 2020. ... However, as to Defendants Taylor and Cavanagh Zdravkovski has failed to present evidence that Defendants Taylor and Cavanagh made any defamatory statements after August 30, 2020. Therefore, Defendants Taylor and Cavanagh are entitled to summary judgment on Zdravkovski’s defamation claim.

Subsection 14 makes the limitations periods in section 5805 subject to applicable repose periods, so a claim must satisfy both the ordinary limitation period and the separate repose deadline.

Federated Mutual Insurance Company v. Corlin Builders · filed 2023-07-20(14)

As plaintiff correctly asserts, however, by changing the language of MCL 600.5805(14) to say that “[t]he periods of limitations” stated in MCL 600.5805 are “subject to” the statute of repose in MCL 600.5839, MCL 600.5805(14) now makes clear that MCL 600.5839 is strictly a statute of repose. The effect of this, however, is to merely limit the potential length of the statute of limitations. Under the old MCL 600.5805(14), a litigant like plaintiff could have up to six years after their claim accrued to bring a cause of action. Under the current version of MCL 600.5805(14), a litigant like plaintiff must always bring their cause of action within three years of when it accrued. Under either version of MCL 600.5805(14), however, a litigant like plaintiff was required to satisfy the statute of repose in MCL 600.5839. For the reasons already explained, plaintiff failed to satisfy MCL 600.5839(1)(a) because it commenced this action after the six-year period of repose expired.

Section 600.5805(8) sets a two-year limitations period for medical-malpractice claims, and the COVID-19 administrative-order exclusion did not extend a limitations period expiring after the exclusion period.

Toman v. Pta · filed 2023-11-21(8)

Under the Revised Judicature Act of 1961, MCL 600.101 et seq., the statutory limitations period for medical-malpractice claims is two years. MCL 600.5805(8). ... Accordingly, following Armijo, we conclude that AO 2020-3 did not apply to the statute of limitations in this case (which expired after the exclusion period of the AOs) and we affirm the trial court’s order granting summary disposition in favor of defendants.

For claims accruing before the 2018 amendment, § 600.5805's applicable limitations period depends on the claim type, and the later amendment does not apply retroactively.

Cardello-Smith v. Archdiocese of Detroit · filed 2024-08-01(2), (6), and (8)

During that time period, the statute of limitations for claims of battery, assault, and false imprisonment was two years. MCL 600.5805(2), as amended by 1986 PA 178. For all other actions for injuries to persons or property, the period of limitations was three years. MCL 600.5805(8), as amended by 1986 PA 178. The trial court and the parties cite MCL 600.5805(6) to establish the period of limitations for claims seeking to recover damages sustained due to criminal sexual conduct is 10 years, and advance plaintiff was permitted to initiate an action until 2003. MCL 600.5805 was amended by 2018 PA 183, effective June 12, 2018, which is after this cause of action accrued and thus inapplicable to plaintiff’s claims. Regardless, it is undisputed that all relevant statutory periods of limitations governing the instant case had expired when plaintiff filed the underlying complaint in 2023. Accordingly, plaintiff’s claims were prima facie barred, and the burden rests on plaintiff to demonstrate that the statutes of limitation were tolled, or otherwise inapplicable.

Section 600.5805(2) provides a three-year limitations period for personal-injury claims such as IIED, while § 600.5805(11) provides a one-year period for defamation, libel, and slander claims.

Rahaman v. Spine Specialist of Michigan · filed 2024-08-13(2), (11)

Under Michigan law, claims for IIED are subject to the general three-year statute of limitations for personal injury actions. Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2); Nelson v. Ho, 222 Mich. App. 74, 85 (1997). ... Under Michigan law, defamation, libel, and slander claims are subject to a one-year statute of limitations. Courser v. Allard, 969 F.3d 604, 619 (6th Cir. 2020) (citing Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(11)). “[T]he limitations period begins to run upon publication, not discovery.”

Subsection (2) imposes a three-year limitations period on actions not otherwise subject to a different limitations period.

Messer v. Swadish · filed 2025-08-08(2)

Because Messer states a plausible claim for relief under the Fourteenth Amendment his allegations cannot be construed as a disguised state medical practice claim. As a result, this cause of action is not subject to the two-year limitations period for Michigan medical malpractice claims but rather the three-year statute of limitations for 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claims.3 See Garza v. Lansing Sch. Dist., 972 F.3d 853, 867 n.8 (6th Cir. 2020); Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2).

Section 600.5805(11) provides a one-year limitations period for defamation claims, while § 600.5805(2) provides a three-year period for tortious-interference claims; when the claim's true gravamen is defamation, the defamation period controls.

Md v. McLaren Bay Region · filed 2025-12-17(11) and (2)

The parties further agree that the statute of limitations applicable to plaintiff’s defamation claim in this case is the one-year statute of limitations found at MCL 600.5805(11). ... A claim of tortious interference with a business expectancy is subject to the three-year period of limitation as provided in MCL 600.5805(2). ... Because the true nature of the claim is defamation, the period of limitations applicable to defamation controls and in this case bars plaintiff’s claim labeled as tortious interference with business expectancies.

Section 600.5805(2)'s three-year limitations period applies to actions brought in court, not to administrative ELCRA proceedings.

City of Grand Rapids v. Department of Civil Rights · filed 2026-02-12(2)

MCL 600.5805(2) states that “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.” ... This indicates that the legislature intended for the RJA to only be applicable to judicial proceedings in a court. ... Thus, by its plain meaning, the word “action” refers to actions in a court before a judge. Administrative proceedings are nonjudicial and are not conducted before a court, so they are outside the scope of that definition. ... Given the Legislature’s stated purpose for enacting the RJA and the plain meaning of “action,” the Legislature did not intend for the RJA to apply to administrative proceedings.

Section 600.5805(8) gives common-law trade-secret-misappropriation claims a three-year limitations period.

Rainbow Nails Enterprises, Inc. v. Maybelline, Inc. · filed 2000-04-12(8)

Under Michigan law, the period of limitation for bringing a common-law claim of trade secret misappropriation is three years. Mich.Comp.Laws § 600.5805(8); ... Further, “the misappropriation of trade secrets is not a continuing offense,” but rather “occurs at the time of the improper acquisition.”

Section 600.5805(7) sets a three-year limit for injury claims, but a defendant may be estopped from invoking it when its attorneys caused much of the filing delay.

Cronin v. Minster Press · filed 1974-11-07(7)

We hold that, since much of the delay in instituting suit was not the plaintiffs’ fault, but the fault of their attorneys who now represent the defendant, the defendant, under the circumstances, is estopped from pleading the statute of limitations.

Section 600.5805(8) gives employment discrimination claims a three-year limitation period; the plaintiff must establish that discriminatory acts occurred within that period.

Thomas v. Michigan Employment Security Commission · filed 1986-09-16(8)

The parties agree that the three-year period of limitation set forth in MCL 600.5805(8); MSA 27A.5805(8) applies here and that the complaint was filed on August 6, 1984. Thus the crucial date for consideration is August 6, 1981. ... At trial, plaintiff will have to establish that acts of racial discrimination occurred within three years of August 6, 1984, in order to prevail.

Section 600.5805(10) gives ELCRA hostile work environment claims a three-year limitations period.

Marin v. BLOOM ROOFING SYSTEMS, INC. · filed 2011-06-10(10)

As Plaintiffs’ hostile work environment claim is a state claim, filed pursuant to the ELCRA, a three-year statute of limitations applies.

Section 600.5805 applies to traditional common-law tort claims even when the injury is purely financial.

National Sand, Inc v. Nagel Construction, Inc · filed 1990-02-20

Similarly, plaintiff’s argument in the case at bar that § 5805 is inapplicable because there has been no physical injury, merely an injury to its financial expectations, is misplaced. ... Accordingly, we conclude that plaintiff’s claim as pled falls under § 5805 as either a malpractice claim under § 5805(4) or a negligence claim under § 5805(8).

Section 600.5805(2)’s three-year period for wrongful-death claims does not govern a claim for UIM benefits under an insurance policy.

Pratt v. Employers Mutual Casualty Company · filed 2023-10-12(2)

Although defendant states that the claim is subject to the three-year limitations period for wrongful-death claims, see MCL 600.5805(2), the nature of plaintiff’s claim is one for breach of contract, which is subject to a six-year limitations period, MCL 600.5807(9), because it was based on an alleged right to UIM benefits under defendant’s insurance policy.

Section 600.5805 gives three years to bring an action for personal injury damages and contains no provision for relation back of amendments.

Paxton v. Cross Creek Apartments, LLC · filed 2020-09-25

The statute does not contain a specific provision for relation back; Rule 15(c)(1)(A) is therefore not available to save Paxton’s claim.

Section 600.5805(2) gives a three-year limitations period for conversion of personal property.

Melburn K Carpenter v. Cedar Springs Mobile Home estates/slp Sales · filed 2023-11-21(2)

The limitations period for a claim of conversion of property is three years. MCL 500.5805(2); Tillman v Great Lakes Truck Ctr, Inc, 277 Mich App 47, 50; 742 NW2d 622 (2007). ... He commenced this action on October 31, 2022, which is well beyond the three-year statute of limitations.
