Michigan No-Fault Benefits

Michigan is a “No-Fault” state when it comes to auto insurance. By law, this means that benefits are able to be collected regardless of how the accident occurred or in the event that there is no one to blame.  There are vital steps an individual must take to receive compensation for their injuries or damages.  Elia & Ponto Law specializes in collecting compensation for our clients. Our Michigan Car Accident Lawyers have obtained millions of dollars in benefits on behalf of our clients. We are more than suited to help you receive Michigan No-Fault benefits.

How to Receive Michigan No-Fault Benefits in 2019

Completion of a written application for benefits must be submitted to the proper insurance company within one year from the date of the accident in order to receive Michigan No-Fault Benefits. Failure to make a claim within one year from the date of the accident to the appropriate insurance company will result in forfeiture of a client’s right to receive these benefits. We have an article about how to file a Michigan No-fault insurance claim.

Within one year of the date, the expenses were incurred (following the claim) reasonable proof of benefits must be sent to the proper insurance company. This can be a very confusing portion of the Michigan No-Fault laws, yet if a client fails to do so they face the inability to receive benefits.

Unless involved in an accident with a vehicle, the law specifically excludes motorcycles from no-fault insurance coverage in Michigan. Although there are far too many examples to provide, a free consultation can be provided to you for further information. For read more about Michigan No Fault Insurance click here.
