Bicyclists injured in a Michigan car accident often can file a claim for Michigan no-fault insurance benefits. This will cover your damages for lost wages, medical expenses and household chores. Even if the other driver did not have insurance, but you owned your own automobile which had car insurance, or you were living with a relative had car insurance, you are able to make a claim for no-fault benefits through your automobile insurance company or your relative's automobile insurance company. Even if you did not have automobile insurance or you were not living with a relative who did not have automobile insurance, you are able to make a claim for no-fault benefits through the Michigan Assigned Claims Facility.
Depending on if the bicyclist had their own automobile insurance as well, which had uninsured motorist coverage, or lived with a relative who had uninsured motorist coverage, you may be able to make claim against the insurance company for uninsured motorist coverage. This will cover all your non-economic damages for pain and suffering and disfigurement.
