Auto Accidents Attorneys In Ann Arbor, Michigan
Understanding Michigan’s No-Fault Insurance System
Accidents can happen in an instant, and the aftermath of an auto accident can be overwhelming and life-changing. To help protect accident victims, Michigan has implemented a no-fault insurance system that ensures individuals can access necessary services to restore their lives as much as possible. However, the term “no-fault” can be misleading and often causes confusion. That’s why it’s crucial to work with an experienced attorney who can help you understand the process, navigate the available benefits, and fight for the results you deserve. At Biggs & Gunst P.C., we’re committed to guiding you every step of the way.

Comprehensive Benefits Available After an Accident
Michigan’s no-fault law allows individuals injured in traffic-related accidents to receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation, attendant care, transportation costs, and survivor benefits regardless of who was at fault. These benefits are designed to help an injured person regain stability and return to their pre-accident condition. Each benefit, however, includes nuances that require skilled legal interpretation to ensure full and fair recovery. Even if you are a pedestrian, cyclist, or passenger who doesn’t carry no-fault insurance, you may still be entitled to these benefits if a motor vehicle was involved in the incident. Our attorneys are ready to evaluate your eligibility and help you access the support you need.
Pursuing Compensation Beyond No-Fault Benefits
While no-fault benefits apply regardless of fault, individuals who suffer serious impairments caused by another driver’s negligence may also pursue third-party or bodily injury claims. These additional claims may provide compensation for pain and suffering when the injuries significantly impact one’s ability to live a normal life. Furthermore, passengers on municipal vehicles, such as city buses, often face a shortened timeline to bring legal claims due to specific local regulations. Because these passengers are typically unrestrained, the risk of injury is higher and the legal process more complex. If you’ve been injured in such an incident, it’s critical to contact Biggs & Gunst P.C. as soon as possible to preserve your right to pursue a claim.
