Automobile Accident Law in Michigan

In 1973, the Michigan Legislature Enacted the No-Fault Insurance Act.
Under this law an individual’s insurance company is primarily responsible
for paying for his or her vehicle damage, medical and hospital costs,
rehabilitative expenses, wage loss, property damage, home health care
costs, and other costs in the event of an accident. These benefits are called
Personal Injury Protection benefits (also known as PIP benefits). An injured
driver, injured passenger, or deceased victim’s family may sue the at-fault
driver for the accident only if the accident causes death, permanent serious
disfigurement, or serious impairment of a body function. If this “threshold of
injury” or death occurs, then the at-fault-driver’s insurance company may be
responsible for paying wrongful death benefits, pain and suffering
compensation, and/ or economic damages that exceed PIP benefit
maximums.
