Our Michigan car accident lawyers frequently represent individuals from other states injured in Michigan car accidents. Many of these accident victims are business travelers, vacationers, or just travelling through Michigan to another destination. When an out of state visitor is injured in a Michigan auto accident, they often have the benefit of many laws in Michigan that they may not have in their residence state.
A non-Michigan resident who is injured in a Michigan auto accident while in Michigan may be able to make a claim for Michigan no-fault insurance benefits, even if they live in a state that does not have no-fault insurance benefits and their own insurance policy does not provide for these benefits. This is a tremendous benefit for the out-of-state resident because Michigan No-Fault insurance benefits pay for wages lost from work, medical expenses, and household chores.
Most incredible, there is no limit to the amount of medical expenses paid and these benefits last for your lifetime. For a non-resident injured in a Michigan car accident to qualify for no-fault benefits, there are several factors to consider, including:
1. Whether the person was driving their own car, and if so, whether the person's auto insurance company was certified in Michigan.
2. Whether the person was a pedestrian; and
3. Whether the person was a passenger in a Michigan registered vehicle, or was a passenger in a vehicle which had auto insurance that was certified in Michigan;
In addition to receiving no-fault benefits, a non-Michigan resident injured in a Michigan car accident may be entitled to make a claim against the at-fault driver for other money damages, including for pain and suffering damages and disfigurement.
There are strict time limitations for filing these claims and it is important that you contact a Michigan car accident lawyer immediately if you are a non-resident and were injured in a Michigan car accident.
Our accident lawyers will represent you in your case under our NO FEE PROMISE. This means that you will not be charged any legal fees whatsoever unless we obtain a settlement or recovery for you. You have absolutely no obligation for legal fees unless we win your case. If we do not obtain a settlement for you, you owe us nothing!

Buckfire, "The Ultimate Michigan Car Accident Handbook," has been called the best book ever written for persons injured in Michigan car accidents. It answers all of your questions, in plain English, about your legal rights against negligent drivers as well as your available benefits under the Michigan No-Fault Law. We'll send it to you for FREE!
