Yes. Michigan follows a comparative negligence system.

Pain & suffering claims:
If you are more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover pain-and-suffering damages.
If you are 50% or less at fault, your compensation is reduced proportionally.
Example: You are 20% at fault → your recovery is reduced by 20%.

No-Fault benefits:
Your percentage of fault does not affect your right to receive PIP medical benefits. Even an at-fault driver can receive medical and wage-loss benefits under Michigan No-Fault.

We regularly represent clients in cases where liability is unclear or disputed. As discussed in your internal meetings, LSM often succeeds in challenging “thin liability” cases other firms might turn down. Our team approach ensures every angle is evaluated thoroughly.
