Michigan No-Fault Lawyer: Schedule A Free Consultation Today
With the recent enactment of the new auto insurance law, it has never been more important for a car crash victim to have an experienced Michigan No-Fault lawyer as it is now. The challenges and legal obstacles are greater now for car accident victims than they ever have been before, and to protect you from these unprecedented coverage limitations and restrictions, you need an attorney with the experience, skill, resources and proven track record to protect you and your family.
Fortunately, this is exactly what you will get by hiring an experienced attorney at Michigan Auto Law.
Our Michigan No-Fault lawyers know and understand these changes to Michigan’s auto insurance law. As insurance law experts, we have written and taught attorneys throughout the state on our auto insurance law, and, more importantly, we have helped to protect many injured car crash victims and their families from the harmful effects of these changes to our insurance law. This subject matter expertise and specialization is the reason why Michigan Auto Law receives more auto accident referrals from other Michigan attorneys than any other law firm in the state.

In fact, our law firm has recovered more million dollar settlements and trial verdicts for car accident victims than any other Michigan law firm, including the largest ever settlements for a truck accident and auto accident of any Michigan attorney or law firm.

Michigan No-Fault Lawyer FAQs
Below our Michigan No-Fault lawyers answer the questions that are most frequently asked by car crash victims like you when you are considering whether – and whom – to hire as your attorney.
Do I need a Michigan No-Fault lawyer?
If an insurance company and claims adjuster is keeping their promises and promptly paying your auto No-Fault benefits, then you likely do not need an attorney. Sadly, that is rarely the case. When an insurance company refuses to pay needed insurance PIP benefits, that is when you need an experienced attorney.
A Michigan No-Fault lawyer can help to protect you from insurance company abuse and to ensure that you will receive all of the medical and wage loss benefits and attendant care that you are legally entitled to after you are injured in an automobile accident.
Auto insurance cases can often be complex and complicated and full of traps for lawyers who do not specialize in this area of law. Your case requires – and you deserve – the specialized expertise, skills and resources of an experienced attorney. He or she will not only protect you and guide the litigation of your case, but he or she will also help you understand how much your case is worth and how to maximize your settlement with the insurance companies to get you the fullest and fairest settlement of your case.
The importance of an attorneys experience and specialized expertise cannot be overstated. A Michigan No-Fault lawyer who has a proven record of going to trial and of securing top-reported verdicts and settlements for his or her clients can settle cases for significantly more money and often much faster. This is because insurance companies determine whether to settle cases like yours – and if so for how much – based on risk and exposure. It goes without saying that the risk and potential financial exposure for an insurance company is significantly higher when a crash victim like you is represented by an experienced Michigan No-Fault lawyer like one of the attorneys at our firm.

And you always get our 100% client satisfaction guarantee.
Is getting a Michigan No-Fault lawyer worth it?
Yes. In fact, the insurance industry’s own data shows that a person who is represented by an experienced Michigan No-Fault lawyer who is known for going to trial – which our attorneys are – will recover significantly more and do so faster than a person who is not represented by an experienced attorney. Also, at Michigan Auto Law, you do not pay unless we win. An attorney from our law firm will handle all aspects of your case so you can focus on recovering from your injuries and on rebuilding your life. We are always here to answer any questions about your case, the process, the law, the insurance company, the adjuster, your medical and wage loss benefits, the IME doctor or doctors that your auto insurance company may require to be examined by, settlements, releases and/or waivers presented to you by your insurance company or the insurer for the at-fault driver, the judge or anything else. We are here for you.
