Can Michigan no-fault benefits cover a single-vehicle crash?

Yes, if the injured person meets Michigan's eligibility and coverage requirements. Under MCL 500.3105, personal injury protection (PIP) benefits cover auto accident injuries regardless of fault. are payable for qualifying accidental injuries arising from the use of a motor vehicle without regard to whose fault the crash is.

Depending on coverage and statutory limits, PIP can pay for reasonably necessary medical care and replace part of the income lost because injuries prevent someone from working. Medical coverage limits, valid opt-outs and exclusions can affect what is available.
