Car Accident In Michigan and No Insurance – ChooseGoldman

 

If you or someone you love has been involved in a motor vehicle accident, and serious injuries resulted, you should contact an attorney to discuss your case as you may be entitled to compensation. Of course, getting a judgment in your favor is only half the battle. The other half is collecting on it. So, what can you do if you were involved in an accident, but the negligent driver was not insured?

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

The Michigan No-Fault Act does not require insurers to provide uninsured motorist coverage to their customers. However, most insurers will provide this coverage should you seek it out. This coverage applies where a threshold injury (death, permanent serious disfigurement and serious impairment of a body function) has been sustained and non-economic damages are appropriate because of the negligence of an uninsured person. If the negligent driver was not insured, it is unlikely that you will be able to collect should you successfully sue that person. Uninsured motorist coverage, if included in your policy, will provide you with what should have been recovered from the negligent party. So, pain and suffering and consortium type damages would be covered by your insurer. Only where this kind of coverage is purchased will an injured party be able to recover these kinds of damages from their insurer. Of course, this may not be an issue should the other driver have assets of his/her own or is insured themselves, but the scenario called for in this blog is those negligent drivers who don’t have coverage of their own or any assets to speak of.
