Mini-Tort

Michigan’s mini-tort law, governed by MCL 500.3135, provides a crucial avenue for drivers involved in auto accidents to recover up to $3,000 in damages for vehicle repairs, regardless of fault, as long as the other driver was at least 50% at fault. This law can be particularly beneficial in rear-end collisions, hit-and-run incidents, or accidents involving uninsured or underinsured motorists. Even in no-fault insurance scenarios or cases involving drunk driving or rollover accidents, the mini-tort provision allows for the recovery of repair costs, which can alleviate financial burdens for clients. The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm, with extensive experience in Michigan auto accident law, can guide clients through the mini-tort claims process, ensuring they receive the compensation they deserve for vehicle damages, while also pursuing additional damages for injuries or other losses.
