How Michigan law treats burn-injury claims

Shared fault

Michigan's rule is easy to misread: an injured person more than 50% at fault loses non-economic damages entirely but can still recover economic damages, reduced by their share of fault. It is not the total bar that most modified-comparative states apply.

Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.2959

Damage caps

Michigan places no cap on damages in ordinary injury cases. Its malpractice and product-liability caps are re-indexed annually and stand at $596,400, or $1,065,000 for qualifying catastrophic injuries, for 2026.

Mich. Comp. Laws §§ 600.1483, 600.2946a

Claims against government

Michigan has no single notice statute. The shortest common deadline is 120 days for injuries caused by a defective highway or road, while claims against the State require notice within six months.

Mich. Comp. Laws §§ 691.1404, 600.6431(4)
