Michigan Accident Laws
Driver responsibility & accident law
Michigan accident law requires that drivers take responsibility for owning and driving a car on Michigan roads. Automobile owners are required to purchase No-Fault Automobile Insurance for their vehicles. Michigan Automobile Insurance is usually broken down into first party benefits, third party benefits, and uninsured motorist benefits.

You may also be entitled to a settlement for third party pain and suffering damages from the responsible driver's insurance company depending upon the severity of your injuries. Even if the responsible driver was an uninsured motorist you may be able to collect a settlement for third party pain and suffering damages from your own insurance company under your uninsured motorist benefits.
