Summary

The Michigan Supreme Court held that the notice‑of‑intent tolling provision MCL 600.5856(c) applies to the wrongful‑death saving provision MCL 600.5852, making the plaintiff’s complaint timely. Accordingly, the Court overruled Waltz v. Wyse and reversed the Court of Appeals judgment, remanding the case for further proceedings.
