Your Michigan No-Fault insurance company must pay 85% of your pay if you are disabled from work due to a car accident.  This also applies to bicycle accidents and pedestrian accidents.  You must have an  Attending Physicians Report  from your doctor verifying your disability and a  Wage Loss Verification  form from your employer.   The benefits are payable up to three years from the date of the car accident, unless you are released to work by your physician before the end of that period.  If you were temporarily unemployed, looking for a job, or a seasonal employee, you are also entitled to these benefits.

Client Testimonials

I was riding my bike in Detroit when a tractor-trailer truck pulled into my lane of travel and forced me to roll my bike into an oncoming lane of traffic. I suffered catastrophic injuries, including a traumatic brain injury and numerous bone fractures, which required multiple surgeries. I chose Buckfire & Buckfire for my motorcycle accident case and they settled it for $1,100,000.00. In my opinion, they are the best motorcycle accident lawyers in Michigan.
- Michael J. Smith, Waterford, MI

A friend then suggested that I call attorney Daniel Buckfire about my Detroit, Michigan car accident case. He spoke with me personally and understood the serious nature of my injury and began working on my case immediately. My condition worsened and I have had several surgeries. Mr. Buckfire fought hard to obtain a settlement of $1,400,000.00 for me. I cannot imagine any other attorney going to such great lengths to help a client. I am grateful for his efforts.
