Car Accidents in Michigan

Michigan’s roadways see thousands of crashes each year, many of them leading to injuries. In 2022, state reports show more than 70,000 accidents resulted in at least one person being hurt. Busy intersections in urban areas like Saginaw are especially prone to these types of collisions due to traffic volume and turning vehicles.

In the wake of a car accident, it’s helpful to understand how insurance claims work in Michigan. Below are several key elements involved in car crash claims under the state's no-fault insurance system:

• Personal Injury Protection (PIP): Michigan’s no-fault system requires drivers to carry PIP coverage, which pays for medical expenses, lost wages, and replacement services regardless of who was at fault in the crash. This coverage can provide immediate help after an accident.
• Mini-Tort Claims: If your vehicle is damaged and the other driver is at fault, Michigan allows a mini-tort claim of up to $3,000 for unreimbursed damages not covered by your policy. This claim must be filed against the at-fault driver directly.
• Determining Threshold Injuries: To sue the at-fault driver for non-economic damages, your injuries must meet the legal threshold of “serious impairment of body function.” A qualified attorney can help determine whether your injuries qualify.
• Timelines Matter: Claims must be filed within specific time frames. For example, no-fault benefits usually need to be applied for within one year of the accident, and personal injury lawsuits typically must be filed within three years.
• Insurance Disputes: It’s common for insurance companies to push back against claims or minimize payouts. Having legal guidance can help you avoid low settlements and ensure your policy rights are upheld.
