You're Entitled To Certain Damages Following Your Michigan Auto Accident

Most of the time, insurance companies are unwilling to pay out the benefits or compensation that your case deserves even though you pay for your auto insurance for years without needing it or using it. You must take these auto insurance companies head on to collect a fair settlement or verdict regardless of the situation. Here is a short outline of the damages that are recoverable for someone injured in a car accident in Michigan.

• Michigan No-Fault Benefits - These are commonly referred to as first party benefits under Michigan No-Fault Law. These benefits usually include medical expenses, medical mileage, income or wage loss, replacement services, attendant care, home modifications, and vehicle modifications.
• Pain and Suffering Expenses - These are commonly referred to as third party benefits under Michigan No-Fault Law. Some auto accidents carry more than simple no-fault benefits and economic losses. While hard to prove in Michigan given the extra "threshold", you can still sue the negligent driver for certain non-economic losses.
• Michigan Mini-Tort - This is a law intended to help drivers recoup some of the economic loss if their car is damaged. There are restrictions and a maximum recovery amount and it's calculated based the percentage of fault of the driver(s).
• Wrongful Death Damages - A surviving member of the family can file for wrongful death damages to obtain justice for their family member.
• Social Security Disability - Many insurance companies would like for you to file for disability benefits following your injuries, but be careful here it can also damage your car accident lawsuit. Sometimes it's the right choice, but make sure to speak with an attorney before making such an important decision.

Understanding Your Chosen Level of No-Fault Auto Insurance Policy

Michigan uses a no-fault system meaning that both drivers should be protected financially, but this is simply not always the case. State minimum insurance levels, which are very common, may not provide enough protection if the injury is severe. Every auto insurance policy is different and some drivers may have elevated levels of personal injury protection and collision coverage. Personal injury protection is the insurance that helps pay for the majority of financial obligations. Examples of PIP coverage include the aforementioned lost wages, medical expenses, attendant care, replacement services and mileage. Collision coverage deals with the amount of insurance you have regarding actual physical damage to your vehicle. For example, the collision coverage tells you how much protection you have when your vehicle sustains financial damage such as a broken windshield.
