Rules that affect your claim
Filing deadline
3 years
For most injury claims (MCL § 600.5805).
Fault rule
Mixed comparative fault
Different fault rules apply to different kinds of damages. See the note below. Pure comparative fault for economic damages. For non-economic damages (pain and suffering), you are barred if more than 50% at fault. (MCL § 600.2959)
Car insurance
No-fault state
Your own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage pays your medical bills and some lost wages first, no matter who caused the crash. You can sue the at-fault driver only if your injuries meet the state's threshold.
Pending attorney review. General information, not legal advice. Deadlines can be shorter for claims against government agencies and for some case types.

How are the Detroit, MI car accident lawyers on this page ranked?
By a 100-point score built from Google's "car accident lawyer" search results in Detroit, MI. Half comes from each firm's position in the Google Maps results for that search (a firm that doesn't appear counts as position 21); half comes from its Google rating, weighted so that a high rating from many reviews beats a perfect rating from a handful. Firms need at least 25 Google reviews, a 4.0+ rating, and a Google listing as a personal injury attorney. No firm can pay to change its rank.
