Common Questions After a Michigan Car Accident

Yes, in most cases. Under Michigan auto law, you are required to immediately file a police report after your crash if death, injury, or property damage exceeds $999. Even if you don’t file a report at the accident scene, you are not restricted from filing a report in the next day or two.

A Michigan car accident lawyer can explain how long a settlement will take to process based on several factors unique to your case, including the severity of your injuries, your medical prognosis, whether liability is disputed, and whether your case may go to trial.

Under Michigan auto law, an accident victim is entitled to be compensated for medical bills for injuries arising from the crash, based on Michigan’s no-fault insurance laws. These bills typically go through the insurance company of the at-fault party or the Michigan Assigned Claims Facility. A skilled Michigan car accident attorney can guide you through filing an Application for No-Fault Benefits.

Michigan is a no-fault state, meaning every vehicle owner is required by law to carry certain basic coverages that pay for expenses after an accident, regardless of who caused the crash. Drivers can select personal injury protection (PIP) medical coverage ranging from unlimited to no coverage, which affects who’s responsible for paying benefits in certain situations.

A physician needs to validate the seriousness of your injuries through visits and diagnostic tests. To qualify for a third-party liability claim, your injuries must have impacted your life in a significant way. Courts look closely at how long you were off work and what you can no longer do for yourself. Talk to our car accident lawyers in Michigan to find out more.

In general, you have three years after the accident to file a lawsuit in Michigan. If you fail to meet the deadline, the court could throw your case out, meaning you’d collect nothing even if the defendant already made an offer. Different, shorter deadlines can apply for claims against government agencies, so it’s best to call sooner rather than later.

Michigan has two filing deadlines for personal injury protection (PIP) coverage: you must provide written notice to the correct insurance company within one year of the accident date, and if that notice was given on time, you must commence legal action within a year of incurring an expense the insurer doesn’t pay (the “one-year-back rule”).

With three strategically located offices across Michigan, our car accident attorneys are ready to serve you no matter where your crash happened.
