Who pays medical bills for a pedestrian hit by a car in Michigan?

An eligible pedestrian injured in a motor vehicle crash can receive no-fault personal injury protection benefits for covered medical treatment without proving the driver caused the crash. The available benefits depend on coverage limits and Michigan's eligibility rules.

For pedestrians, coverage generally starts with their own auto policy or applicable coverage through a spouse or a relative living in the same household. If that coverage isn't available, MCL 500.3115 directs eligible claims to the Michigan Assigned Claims Plan. The driver's insurer isn't automatically responsible for these benefits.

Michigan Legal Center explains how no-fault priority rules determine who pays crash-related medical bills, including when household coverage or the assigned claims process may apply.
