Car Accidents in Michigan

Throughout Michigan, car accidents with injuries are reported on a daily basis. In 2023, the state recorded over 50,000 injury-causing collisions. Many of these occurred at urban intersections like Kendall Street and Meyers Road in Detroit, where congestion and quick-moving traffic often raise the risk of crashes. Despite advances in safety technology, drivers still face significant danger on local roads.

For those injured in car crashes, understanding your insurance rights and coverage can be overwhelming. Here's a breakdown of how Michigan’s no-fault system affects claims:

• No-Fault Medical Coverage: Michigan drivers are required to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) as part of their auto insurance. This covers medical expenses, including hospitalization, rehabilitation, and other treatments—regardless of who caused the crash.
• Wage Loss Benefits: PIP coverage may also reimburse a percentage of lost income if injuries prevent the victim from working. In many cases, this can help stabilize a household during recovery, especially when time away from work is extended.
• Replacement Services: Victims may qualify for assistance with tasks they can no longer perform due to injury, such as cleaning, cooking, or transportation. These replacement services are typically covered under no-fault insurance.
• Third-Party Lawsuits for Serious Injury: If an accident results in significant or permanent injury, victims may pursue a claim against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering, excess medical costs, or long-term disability—beyond what PIP covers.
• Coordination With Health Insurance: Some policies coordinate with private health insurance, which can affect the way claims are handled. Understanding how your auto policy interacts with your health coverage can be important when managing treatment expenses.
