If the pool is city- or county-owned, your timeline is SHORT.
You typically must:
- File a notice of injury within 120 days of the incident,
- And then file a lawsuit within 2 years under Michigan’s governmental immunity laws.
If it’s a private or hotel pool? You may have 3 years to sue under Michigan's personal injury statute.
Public pools must follow safety standards (e.g., working drains, non-slip surfaces, lifeguards if required). When they fail, you may have a case for gross negligence.
