Understanding Michigan’s No-Fault Insurance Law

 

Michigan is a No-Fault Insurance state, which means that if you are injured in an auto accident, your own insurance generally covers medical bills, lost wages, and replacement services—no matter who caused the crash.

Every Michigan driver is legally required to carry No-Fault insurance. Driving without it, or allowing someone else to drive your uninsured vehicle, is against the law.

If you’re unsure what your coverage includes or how to file a claim, our Michigan car accident attorneys can help. We’ll explain your rights, handle the insurance paperwork, and make sure you receive the full benefits you’re entitled to under Michigan law.

The Three Key Parts of a Michigan No-Fault Policy

 

1. Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

 

Under Michigan’s reformed No-Fault law, drivers choose their PIP medical coverage limit—options include Unlimited, $500,000, $250,000, or special levels for Medicaid and Medicare-eligible individuals.
PIP may also pay:

  • Up to 85% of lost income for up to three years

  • $20 per day for household replacement services (like cleaning or yard work)

Coverage amounts vary based on your selections and eligibility.

 

2. Property Protection (PPI)

 

Covers up to $1 million for damage your vehicle causes in Michigan to someone else’s property—such as buildings, fences, or properly parked vehicles. It does not cover other vehicle damage.

 

3. Residual Liability Insurance (BI/PD)

 

Protects you if you are sued for causing serious injury, permanent disfigurement, or death. It also applies in some out-of-state or non-resident accidents.

Michigan No-Fault & Personal Injury FAQs

 

What does Michigan No-Fault insurance pay for after a crash?
Michigan No-Fault (PIP) may cover accident-related medical bills up to your selected PIP medical limit, up to 85% of lost income for up to three years, and $20 per day for household replacement services. Coverage depends on the level you selected.

What PIP medical coverage options do Michigan drivers have?
Drivers can choose among six PIP medical coverage levels, including Unlimited, $500,000, $250,000, and special options for Medicaid- or Medicare-eligible households (including certain opt-outs when eligibility applies).

Can I sue the at-fault driver even though Michigan is a No-Fault state?
Yes. You may pursue damages if your injuries meet Michigan’s threshold for serious impairment of body function, permanent serious disfigurement, or death. You can also file a mini-tort claim for up to $3,000 for vehicle damage not covered by insurance.

How long do I have to file a claim?
Generally, you have three years from the date of the crash for an injury or wrongful-death lawsuit, and one year to claim No-Fault (PIP) benefits. Additional notice requirements may apply.

What is Property Protection Insurance (PPI) in Michigan?
PPI pays up to $1 million for damage your vehicle causes in Michigan to other people’s property, such as buildings, fences, or properly parked vehicles. It does not cover other vehicle damage.

I live in Ohio, but was hurt in Michigan. Do I still have rights?
Likely yes. Cross-border crashes can trigger Michigan No-Fault benefits and liability claims. Because residency, vehicle registration, and coverage limits all matter, talk to an attorney right away.
