Michigan's No-Fault Law and What It Means for Your Case
Michigan uses a no-fault insurance system, which means your own insurance pays certain benefits after a crash regardless of fault. Those benefits, called Personal Injury Protection (PIP) can cover medical expenses, wage loss, and replacement services.
But PIP coverage has limits, and for many seriously injured people, it falls far short of covering the full impact of a crash.
Beyond PIP, Michigan law allows you to pursue a claim directly against an at-fault driver if your injuries meet a threshold of serious impairment of a body function. This is where having an experienced car accident lawyer becomes critical.
Insurers, including your own, work to minimize what they pay out. Without legal representation, many injured people accept settlements that don't account for future medical costs, long-term lost earnings, or pain and suffering.
Our attorneys understand every layer of Michigan's no-fault system and are experienced in pressing beyond PIP to recover the full compensation you are owed. If the insurance company refuses to negotiate fairly, we take your case to court.
Car Accident FAQs
Injured in a Crash? Get Answers to Your Questions
-
Can I Handle an Insurance Claim on My Own?While you can attempt to handle an insurance claim independently, it can be challenging and complex, often resulting in less favorable outcomes without legal guidance. Insurance companies have the primary goal of minimizing payouts, and without expert legal assistance, you may not receive the full compensation you are entitled to. Engaging an attorney can enhance your claim's potential by providing a skilled negotiation strategy and thorough documentation.
-
What Types of Compensation Can I Receive?The compensation for car accidents can cover various damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and in some cases, pain and suffering. The specifics will depend on your accident's details and the severity of your injuries. A comprehensive evaluation with our attorneys can help determine the full extent of compensatory opportunities available.
-
How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Lawsuit?In Michigan, you generally have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. However, this time frame can vary depending on specific circumstances. It is advisable to consult with a lawyer as soon as possible to ensure you do not miss critical deadlines that could affect your rights to compensation.
-
What Should I Do Immediately After a Car Accident?After ensuring safety and calling emergency services, document the accident scene carefully. It's crucial to gather as much evidence as possible, such as taking photos, gathering witness details, and not admitting fault. This documentation will be essential for your legal claim to ensure that you have the necessary evidence to support your case in future discussions with insurance providers and legal proceedings.

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Lansing
Michigan law requires every driver to exercise reasonable care behind the wheel. That obligation covers far more than simply obeying traffic signals. It extends to any conduct that creates an unreasonable risk of harm to others.
When a driver falls short of that standard and causes you serious harm, you have the right to seek compensation.
The most common causes of car accidents we see in Lansing include:
- Distracted driving, such as texting or eating
- Speeding and aggressive driving
- Drunk or impaired driving
- Failure to yield or obey traffic controls
- Tailgating/following too closely
Regardless of the cause, if someone else's negligence put you in the hospital, you should not be the one absorbing those costs.
Types of Car Accident Cases We Handle
