Michigan Personal Injury Statute of Limitations: 2026 Window, No-Fault Threshold, and Common Pitfalls
Michigan's general personal-injury statute of limitations is three years under MCL 600.5805. The traps: a one-year SOL on PIP benefits under MCL 500.3145, the no-fault serious-impairment threshold under MCL 500.3135, a 120-day notice for highway-defect claims, a 60-day Court of Claims notice, a 182-day medmal NOI, and a six-year medmal repose. Kandil-Elsayed v. F & E Oil (2023) narrowed the open-and-obvious doctrine.
Florida Personal Injury Statute of Limitations: 2026 Window, HB 837, and Common Pitfalls
Florida's general personal-injury statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury under section 95.11(4)(a), as amended by HB 837. Pre-March-24-2023 accidents keep the 4-year SOL. Florida is also a no-fault auto state with PIP, a serious-injury tort threshold under section 627.737(2), a 14-day PIP rule, and a 90-day medmal pre-suit notice. This post walks every deadline and the HB 837 trap that ends Florida cases early.
New York Personal Injury Statute of Limitations: 2026 Window, Notice-of-Claim Trap, and Common Pitfalls
New York's general personal-injury statute of limitations is three years from the date of injury under CPLR 214(5). The traps are everywhere: a 90-day notice of claim to a municipal corporation under GML 50-e plus a 1-year-90-day suit deadline under GML 50-i, a 2.5-year medmal SOL, a 2-year wrongful-death window under EPTL 5-4.1, Lavern's Law for cancer misdiagnosis, and the serious-injury threshold for no-fault auto cases.
