Frequently Asked Questions

Under Michigan’s No-Fault Insurance law, your own auto insurance often covers your medical bills, regardless of who caused the accident. But you may also qualify for additional compensation if:
You lose income due to missed work
You need ongoing or future medical care
You require help with household chores or child care
You experience pain and suffering from a serious injury
If your injuries are significant, you may be able to sue the at-fault party, especially for accidents in Oakland County, Wayne County, or Macomb County.

Yes, depending on the circumstances. You may be eligible to file a personal injury claim if:
Someone else’s negligence caused your injury
