Can no-fault benefits cover a single-car crash in Michigan?

Yes, if the injured person meets Michigan’s eligibility requirements. Under MCL 500.3105, personal injury protection (PIP) benefits cover qualifying accidental motor vehicle injuries regardless of fault. Another driver’s involvement isn’t required.

PIP can pay necessary medical care, recovery and rehabilitation. It can also cover other economic losses like income, subject to legal limits.

Medical payments only cover up to a certain limit, unless there is a valid medical exclusion or opt-out. Michigan Legal Center explains how these policy choices affect who pays medical bills after a Michigan car accident.
