If you are injured in a motor vehicle accident
and the other driver is at fault, you have rights under Michigan
law to make a claim for, (and recover damages for) economic
and non-economic losses. Glenn D. Steeg & Associates has
had cases with recoveries of over $1,000,000.
Under Michigan law, if you are injured in an accident, whether you are a driver, pedestrian, or passenger, you can recover money damages from the insurance company of the individual that caused the accident.
Michigan's "no-fault" insurance law requires all owners of motor vehicles to maintain a minimum amount of insurance coverage which would provide coverage to victims of the driver's negligence.
In order to recover non-economic damages (like pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life or emotional distress) you must have injuries which constitute a "serious impairment of an important body function" or "permanent serious disfigurement." There is no such requirement for wage loss claims under Michigan law (economic damages).
