Michigan lawyers must understand auto insurance, No-Fault system

Auto insurance attorney says knowing how to advise No-Fault cases and when to refer them is critical

Insurance attorney Steve Gursten is interviewed by Michigan Lawyers Weekly about the importance of lawyers having a basic understanding of auto insurance and Michigan’s No-Fault insurance system. He says such knowledge can help attorneys advise clients on insurance coverage options and in the event of a car accident, and help decide whether to take a case or refer it to a specialist.

But it’s the specialists that only handle car accident and truck accident cases, who get the biggest awards. “I see non-specialists settling for $10,000 on auto accident cases where an expert (in No-Fault car accident cases) would get $100,000.”
