Michigan's No-Fault System and Your Rights

Michigan's no-fault auto insurance system is complex and often misunderstood. After an accident, you typically file a claim with your own insurance company for Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits, which can cover medical expenses, wage loss, and replacement services. However, the 2019-2020 no-fault reforms changed coverage levels significantly, and many Calhoun County residents may have limited PIP coverage without realizing it.

If your injuries meet Michigan's "serious impairment of body function" threshold, you can also pursue a third-party claim against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering, excess medical expenses, and other damages not covered by no-fault benefits. Our attorneys have extensive experience navigating both no-fault claims and third-party lawsuits to pursue the full compensation you're owed.

Fighting Insurance Companies That Deny Legitimate Claims

Insurance companies are in the business of paying as little as possible, even when you're entitled to benefits. We've seen every tactic they use—claiming injuries are "unrelated" to the accident, arguing that treatment is "unnecessary," or simply denying coverage altogether.

Over more than four decades, we have taken insurers to trial when they denied or undervalued legitimate claims, and we hold insurance companies accountable for the full compensation our clients are owed.

Compassionate Support When You Need It Most

We understand that dealing with serious injuries affects every aspect of your life—your health, your family, your finances, and your future. Our team provides compassionate support throughout the legal process while we handle the complexities of your case. You focus on healing while we fight for the compensation you need to rebuild your life.

We offer free consultations and operate on a contingency-fee basis, meaning we don't get paid unless we win your case. You pay nothing up front, and there's no cost to call us to discuss your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims in Calhoun County

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Calhoun County?

Michigan's statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is three years from the date of the injury. However, no-fault insurance claims require you to notify your insurer within one year of the accident to preserve your benefits. Because deadlines vary depending on the type of case, it's essential to contact an attorney as soon as possible after your accident to protect your rights.

What damages can I recover after a Calhoun County car accident?

You may recover PIP benefits from your own insurance company for medical expenses, wage loss (up to 85% of gross income), and replacement services. If your injuries meet Michigan's threshold for serious impairment of body function, you can also pursue a third-party claim against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering, excess medical expenses beyond your PIP coverage, and other damages. Our attorneys evaluate both avenues to pursue the full compensation you're owed.

Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company already made me an offer?

Yes. Insurance companies routinely make low initial offers hoping you'll settle quickly before understanding the full extent of your injuries and losses. Many injuries, especially traumatic brain injuries and soft tissue damage, don't show their full impact immediately. An experienced attorney can evaluate whether the offer is fair and negotiate for the compensation you truly deserve.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident in Calhoun County?

Michigan follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you're more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover damages from other parties. However, if you're 50% or less at fault, you can still recover damages, though your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Our attorneys investigate every accident thoroughly to establish liability and protect your right to compensation.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney in Calhoun County?

Nothing up front. We work on a contingency-fee basis, which means we don't charge any legal fees unless we recover compensation for you. There's no cost to call us for a free consultation to discuss your case, and you'll never receive a bill unless we win.
