First-Party Personal Protection Insurance Lawsuit
The No-Fault Insurance Act of Michigan allows you to collect benefits, even when the accident is your fault. A lawsuit exists when your personal automobile insurance carrier resists or refuses to pay you these benefits which include:
You are entitled to compensation for pain and suffering, disfigurement, disability, permanent injury, and certain economic damages from the driver or owner of a vehicle who is at fault in the accident.
When a person without insurance injures you, you may recover under your insurance policy any damages you would be entitled to recover from the uninsured motorist. These include pain and suffering, disfigurement, disability, and certain economic damages.
When your damages such as pain and suffering exceed the negligent driver’s policy limits, you may collect the excess damages under your insurance policy.
When a pedestrian or bike rider is hit by a motor vehicle, he or she can recover under their automobile policy for benefits such as medical treatment, work loss compensation, nursing care, and household assistance. If the other party who caused your injury is negligent, you may recover pain and suffering, disfigurement, disability, and certain economic damages.
