There are three prongs for recovery after an automobile accident in Michigan: first-party claims under which you recover reimbursements from your own insurance company; third-party claims against the person who causes an injury from an auto accident; and mini tort claims for minimal auto damage recovery. The primary portion of the no-fault law governs first-party claims. Your own insurance company provides this coverage and the State of Michigan has mandated certain coverage minimums that every Michigan automobile owner must carry.
Basic no-fault auto insurance includes personal injury protection (PIP), property protection insurance (PPI) and residual liability insurance.
Once we have identified what type of case you have our Michigan Automobile accident attorneys and lawyers will work with you to get the best settlement that you can receive for your auto accident case.
