Auto Accidents

Did you know that you can be compensated for injuries sustained in an automobile accident even if it was your fault? In many instances, you can be compensated even if you don't have any automobile insurance. Michigan's No-Fault Act provides several benefits to people injured in car accidents regardless of fault.

Medical bills - covers treatment to medical care for to your accident-related injuries. There is no limit to the amount of money that can be paid for this benefit.

Attendant care - money for someone (even a family member or friend) who provides personal care for you as a result of your accident-related injuries.

Household services - money for someone (even a family member or friend) who does the chores you did but cannot do any longer as a result of your accident-related injuries. Limited at $20 per day for 3 years from the date of your accident.

Medical mileage - pay a transportation company (or a family member or friend) to take you to and from medical appointments or receive reimbursement directly if you drive yourself. There is no limit to the amount of money that can be paid for this benefit.

Wage loss - collect up to 85% of your wages from a job which your accident-related injuries prevent you from working. There is a limit to this benefit which is governed by statute and changes on a yearly basis. You can collect this benefit for up to 3 years from the date of your accident.

In addition to no-fault benefits outlined above, if someone else's negligence caused your auto-accident-related injuries, the State of Michigan requires individuals to carry at least $20,000 in coverage to compensate you for your pain and suffering.
