Michigan Auto Accident Claims
In Michigan, there are two types of automobile accident claims:
- First-party claims
These claims are filed against your own Personal Injury Protection insurance (also known as “PIP”) included in your no-fault insurance. First-party claims provide coverage for accident-related medical expenses, wage loss, and attendant care. They may be filed even if you were at fault for the accident. - Third-party claims
When a car accident that wasn’t your fault causes a serious injury (also known as a threshold injury) to your brain, spinal cord, or head, you can file a third-party claim against the other driver’s insurance company for your accident-related injuries and expenses, including pain and suffering.
