Yes, in many situations you still can. Michigan follows a comparative fault system. This means your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but being partially at fault does not automatically prevent you from recovering compensation.

In auto accident cases, Michigan’s no-fault system adds another layer of complexity, especially when it comes to medical benefits and pain and suffering claims. Fault analysis is often more nuanced than it first appears, which is why it’s important to have someone review the facts carefully before assuming you don’t have a case.
