Who pays for care after a pedestrian head injury in Michigan?

An eligible pedestrian injured in a motor vehicle crash may receive no-fault personal injury protection benefits regardless of who caused the crash. Under MCL 500.3107, medical benefits can pay reasonable charges for reasonably necessary treatment and rehabilitation, subject to applicable coverage limits and other legal requirements.

Coverage generally starts with the injured pedestrian’s own auto policy or an applicable policy covering a spouse or resident relative. When no such coverage applies, an otherwise eligible person may need to apply through the Michigan Assigned Claims Plan. Michigan Legal Center’s explanation of who pays medical bills after a Michigan crash describes how these coverage rules affect where treatment bills should be submitted.
