Local context

Michigan's rules for injury claims

Michigan remains a no-fault auto state, offering PIP medical coverage and a serious impairment threshold that governs many third-party suits. Crashes tied to the auto industry and winter roads happen across the state.

Time limits shift with the benefit or claim involved. Do not presume a three-year injury window covers every auto matter. Let a Michigan attorney check the key dates.

Issues that often come up in Michigan reviews

  • 01

    No-fault rules have changed

    Michigan auto law is unique and has been amended in recent years. PIP medical benefits, choice of coverage levels, and the serious-impairment threshold all affect whether a third-party claim can proceed.

  • 02

    Winter roads and auto-industry files

    Detroit-area freeway wrecks, winter ice, and workplace or product issues tied to manufacturing are common statewide. Those files can mix auto no-fault with other claim types.

  • 03

    Do not assume a three-year catch-all

    Deadlines depend on the benefit or lawsuit you are pursuing. GoFreeLegal is not your attorney. Have a Michigan lawyer review the dates that apply to your coverage and injuries.
