What is the statute of limitation on medical malpractice?

Michigan law grants two years from the date of the doctor’s negligent actions or six months from the discovery of the negligence for a claimant to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. All claims must be brought within six years since the original incident except in cases involving harm to the patient’s reproductive systems or when the provider has actively concealed their negligent actions.
