Following a motor vehicle accident that results in injuries, individuals have the option to pursue a personal injury claim to seek compensation. It's essential to understand that Michigan follows a modified comparative negligence doctrine. Under this law, if an individual is found to bear more than 50% responsibility for their injury, they may not be eligible to seek non-economic damages (like pain and suffering damages) through legal action.
Although recovering non-economic damages is limited, Michigan's comparative negligence law permits individuals to pursue economic damages (such as medical expenses and lost wages) to the extent that another party is deemed liable for the accident causing the victim's injury. The compensation for damages will be proportionally reduced based on the percentage of fault attributed to the claimant.
