Navigating Michigan's No-Fault System in Washtenaw County

Michigan's no-fault auto insurance system is complex and confusing—especially after the 2019 reforms. Washtenaw County accident victims face difficult questions about PIP benefit levels, medical coverage caps, and when they can sue the at-fault driver.

We help Washtenaw County residents understand their coverage and fight for every benefit they're entitled to receive. From securing unlimited lifetime medical care to proving threshold injuries that allow third-party lawsuits, we navigate the no-fault system's complexities so you can focus on healing.

Insurance companies routinely deny legitimate claims. They argue injuries are pre-existing, treatment is unnecessary, or coverage doesn't apply. We've heard every excuse—and we've beaten them in Washtenaw County courtrooms and throughout Michigan.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims in Washtenaw County

What should I do immediately after an accident in Washtenaw County?

First, ensure everyone's safety and call 911 if there are injuries. If possible, document the scene with photos, exchange information with other parties, and gather witness contact details. Report the accident to police and notify your insurance company within one year to preserve your no-fault benefits. Seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor—many serious conditions aren't immediately apparent. Contact an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights and preserve evidence.

How does Michigan's no-fault system work for Washtenaw County accident victims?

Under Michigan's no-fault system, you file a claim with your own auto insurance for Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits regardless of who caused the accident. PIP covers medical expenses, lost wages, and replacement services. Your coverage level depends on your policy choice: unlimited, $500,000, $250,000, or $50,000. You may also pursue a third-party claim against the at-fault driver if your injuries meet Michigan's threshold for serious impairment of body function.

Can I sue the at-fault driver after an accident in Washtenaw County?

Yes, but only if your injuries meet Michigan's serious impairment of body function threshold. This requires proving an objectively manifested impairment of an important body function that affects your general ability to lead your normal life. If you meet this threshold, you can pursue compensation for pain and suffering, excess medical expenses, and damages beyond your PIP coverage. Our attorneys have extensive experience proving threshold injuries in Washtenaw County courts.

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

Michigan's statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three years from the date of injury. For wrongful death cases, you have three years from the date of death. However, no-fault PIP benefits require reporting your accident within one year. These deadlines are strict, and missing them can permanently bar your claim. We recommend consulting an attorney as soon as possible after your accident to preserve all of your rights.

What compensation can I recover in a Washtenaw County personal injury case?

Available compensation depends on your specific case but may include PIP benefits for medical expenses, wage loss, and replacement services; pain and suffering compensation in third-party claims; excess economic damages beyond PIP limits; loss of consortium for family members; and in wrongful death cases, funeral expenses, lost financial support, and loss of society and companionship. Our attorneys evaluate every case individually to pursue the full compensation you're owed under Michigan law.
