Ernest v. Brown

July 29, 2026

Summary

The Michigan Supreme Court held that the medical‑malpractice tolling provision MCL 600.5856(c) applies to the wrongful‑death saving provision MCL 600.5852, making the plaintiff’s complaint timely, and overruled the prior decision in Waltz v. Wyse. The Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for further proceedings.
