Witherspoon v. Guilford
Michigan Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the CourtR. J. Danhof, J.
Plaintiff appeals as of right two circuit court orders dismissing her wrongful death lawsuit as barred by the statute of limitations. On appeal, plaintiff asserts that her claim against defendant Adrian Fence Company was timely filed because the six-year limitation provided by MCL 600.5839; MSA 27A.5839 applies rather than the three-year limitation imposed by MCL 600.5805(8); MSA 27A.5805(8). Plaintiff secondly argues that her claim against defendant Michelle Guilford was not barred because Guilford fraudulently concealed her negligent involvement in the accident. We affirm._
