Michigan Auto No-Fault Insurance Benefits
In fact, on many occasions, an injury victim can receive these benefits even if he or she did not own a car or have their own auto insurance policy. This is especially true in injuries to vehicle passengers, pedestrians, and bicyclists. The type of benefits are significant and include payment of medical expenses, regardless of the amount or how long they last. This includes hospitalizations, surgeries, physical therapy, and even prescription expenses.
Other benefits include household service benefits, service attendant care benefits, and wage loss benefits. A persona disabled from work due to the accident can recover up to three years of lost wages after the accident at 85% of the wages. Injury victims who are seasonal employees or were not working but still actively seeking employment can still receive wage loss benefits.
There are very specific time deadlines for filing claims and it is important to contact an experienced lawyer as soon as possible after the accident so that you do not lose out on benefits.
