Michigan No-Fault law

If you live or work in Southern Michigan, or Northern Indiana, in places like South Bend, Elkhart, Mishawaka, Niles, Michigan City, Benton Harbor, or Three Rivers, you may be familiar with the term “Michiana.”  The name comes from the many people in these locations who frequently travel across the state line for shopping, work, or recreation. 

Keller & Keller LLP has represented several Michigan residents that were involved in accidents while traveling into Indiana. Many times these clients have hired us because of the complexities associated with Michigan No-Fault law.  Likewise, we also have clients who are residents of Indiana but were injured in an accident while traveling in Michigan.

Michigan’s No-Fault laws are complex.  There are time considerations and limitations that favor insurance carriers, and without a full understanding of this area of law, you could lose your rights to the benefit of the insurance carrier. 

For example, if you qualify for Michigan No-Fault benefits, you must file an application with the appropriate insurance carrier within one year of the accident date, or your benefits could vanish.  Many people are unaware of this. 

Contacting an experienced law firm ensures that you will not lose these benefits.
