University of Michigan Regents v. Titan Ins Agency

We examine whether MCL 600.5821(4), which preserves state entities’ rights to bring certain claims, also preserves the right to seek recovery of all damages incurred notwithstanding the one-year-back rule of MCL 500.3145(1). We hold that MCL 600.5821(4) exempts the state entities it lists from the *293one-year-back rule. As a consequence, we overrule Liptow v State Farm Mut Auto Ins Co,1 which held to the contrary, and reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals. We also overrule Cameron v Auto Club Ins Ass’n,2 on which the Liptow decision relied exclusively in reaching its conclusion.
