First Party “No Fault” Law & Auto Accidents in Michigan

If you’re involved in a motor vehicle accident in Michigan, you may be entitled to the payment of certain benefits regardless of which driver was at fault. Those benefits come from the no-fault insurer and include medical expenses, lost wages, household services, attendant care and mileage reimbursement for travel related to obtaining medical care. The laws are quite numerous and complicated. There are also many rules and procedures and time requirements that must be strictly followed to get the benefits allowed by law. 

These laws lead to many numerous and difficult questions. What if, for example, you are faced with outstanding medical bills and you are unable to return to work? What if there are multiple no-fault insurance companies and absolutely no one will take responsibility to pay benefits? How do you determine what insurance company, if any, is responsible for paying your benefits and what should you do to get them to start paying?

These questions are more complex than they appear. Often, the rules that govern the “priority” of insurance policies, i.e., who is responsible to pay your benefits - and under what circumstances - can be totally overwhelming and confusing.  You should know that, although your own insurance company is first in line to pay in an automobile accident that occurs in Michigan, there are often complicating factors.  What if you were injured as an innocent passenger in a motor vehicle?  What if you were an injured - but uninsured - pedestrian struck by an automobile?  In such circumstances, determining who is responsible to pay your no-fault benefits can be even more complex and daunting.

Failure to understand and follow these legal requirements can lead to disastrous results.  Be wary of lawyers who are not familiar with no-fault law.  Retain an experienced Detroit auto accident attorney.  Retain an attorney to protect you and to guide you through this overwhelming process. We can help. If you have been seriously injured, call us right now for a free consultation.
