Suing The At Fault Driver

Michigan law says that you cannot sue the at fault driver of a vehicle unless you can show that your injury is bad enough.  Our Michigan Supreme Court has recently stated that an injury must be bad enough to alter the course and trajectory of a person’s life.  Because a judge gets to say whether your case gets to a jury, it is important to have plenty of evidence to show the judge your case should stay in court.  It is best to speak with an experienced auto accident attorney when you are first injured so your right to have your case heard by a jury is protected.

Quick Answers

What does a car accident lawyer do in Macomb County?

A car accident lawyer investigates the crash, gathers evidence (reports, medical records, witnesses), helps you pursue insurance benefits, and negotiates for fair compensation when another party may be legally responsible. If needed, a lawyer can file and manage a lawsuit and prepare the case for court.

How does Michigan No Fault work after a crash?

Michigan is a No Fault state, which often means your own auto insurance is the first source for certain benefits, commonly called PIP (Personal Injury Protection). At a high level, PIP may help with accident-related medical expenses and may provide limited wage loss and replacement services depending on coverage and applicable rules.

When can you sue the at-fault driver in Michigan?

Michigan No Fault generally limits lawsuits for pain and suffering. One key concept is whether an injury meets a threshold often discussed as a serious impairment of body function, including how the injury affects day-to-day life. Whether the threshold is met is fact-specific.

Michigan No Fault and PIP Benefits

Michigan’s No Fault system often means your own auto insurer provides certain benefits after a crash, regardless of fault. These benefits are commonly called PIP (Personal Injury Protection).

  • Medical expenses: PIP may help cover reasonable and necessary accident-related medical care, subject to coverage and rules.
  • Wage loss: Some wage loss benefits may be available in many cases, depending on eligibility, coverage selections, and applicable limits.
  • Replacement services: Certain household-related services may be covered in limited circumstances, depending on the policy and rules.

This is general information, not legal advice. Coverage and eligibility depend on the policy and the facts of the crash.

Suing the At-Fault Driver in Michigan

Michigan law limits when you can sue the at-fault driver for pain and suffering after a vehicle accident.

Building the right evidence early can matter.
