Did you collect insurance and sign anything that said that was the full and final settlement? Did you begin to sue back then? Do you have solid medical proof your back pain is related exclusively to and caused by this accident in May of 2007?

In Michigan it is usally three years from date of harm (knew or should have known of harm).  See    http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(hmkzjl55qjcffsryzhnrraf5))/mileg.aspx?page=getObject&objectName=mcl-600-5805
