Deadlines depend on the claim and parties involved. Federal Section 1983 claims in Michigan are generally subject to a three-year limitations period. Other requirements or shorter notice periods may apply in certain cases.

Because deadlines can be complicated, do not rely on a general timeframe for your specific situation. Speak with a lawyer about the facts and deadlines that may apply.
