FAQ

Can I still recover compensation in Michigan if I was partially at fault?

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.
