Frequently Asked Questions About Michigan Insurance
Injured individuals can feel confused or frustrated by the legal process following an accident. They have questions, such as: What are my rights? What are my benefits? It is crucial that you are aware of your options or you can make critical mistakes. Start with answers to these common questions:
- Which insurance company should I contact?
Under Michigan law, insurance companies are responsible for the payment of PIP benefits. You should first contact your own auto insurer. Failing that, contact the auto insurer of the closest living relative who lives in the same home that you do. If you do not have either of those two options, contact our firm for advice.
- How long do my benefits last?
Michigan law requires that the responsible insurance company pays 85 percent of your monthly wage loss or a statutory maximum, whichever is lower. This amount is payable only for the first 36 months after the accident, so it is crucial that you act quickly.
