Understanding Michigan's No-Fault System in Wayne County

Michigan's no-fault auto insurance system is complex, and the 2019-2020 reforms changed it significantly. After a crash, you typically file a Personal Injury Protection (PIP) claim with your own insurer—regardless of who caused the accident—for medical expenses, wage loss, and replacement services. Your PIP medical coverage may be unlimited or capped at $500,000, $250,000, or $50,000, depending on the choice you made on your policy.

You can pursue a third-party claim against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering only if your injuries meet Michigan's serious impairment of body function threshold. Proving that threshold takes experienced attorneys who understand Michigan case law, and we've spent decades doing exactly that for Wayne County clients.

Fighting Insurance Companies That Deny Legitimate Claims

Insurance companies routinely deny or undervalue legitimate claims, arguing that injuries are pre-existing, that treatment is unnecessary, or that coverage doesn't apply. We've heard every excuse—and we've taken insurers to trial throughout Southeast Michigan when they refused to honor their obligations. When you face a denial, we investigate thoroughly, work with medical experts, and build a case that holds the insurer accountable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims in Wayne County

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

Michigan's statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is three years from the date of injury, and three years from the date of death for wrongful death claims. No-fault PIP benefits, however, must be claimed within one year of the accident. These deadlines are strict, so it's best to contact an attorney as soon as possible after your accident.

How does Michigan's no-fault system work for Wayne 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 (up to 85% of gross income), 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 serious impairment threshold.

Can I sue the at-fault driver after a Wayne County car accident?

Yes, but only if your injuries meet Michigan's serious impairment of body function threshold—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 other damages beyond your PIP coverage. Our attorneys have extensive experience proving threshold injuries in Michigan courts.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Michigan follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% at fault, but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. No-fault PIP benefits are available regardless of fault. We investigate every accident thoroughly to establish liability and protect your right to compensation.

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

Nothing up front. We handle personal injury cases on a contingency-fee basis, which means we don't charge legal fees unless we recover compensation for you, and we advance case costs along the way. There's no cost to call us for a free consultation to discuss your case.

What makes Logeman & Iafrate different from other Wayne County personal injury firms?

We take cases other firms turn down and prepare every case for trial. With more than 45 years of experience, our clients work directly with the partners, not a case-mill assistant. We're not a high-volume settlement mill; we're trial lawyers who prepare every case for the courtroom, and that preparation is what insurance companies respond to.
