In Michigan’s no-fault auto insurance system, a third-party claim allows accident victims to seek compensation from the at-fault driver’s insurance company for damages not covered by their own policy, such as pain and suffering, disfigurement, or emotional distress. This type of claim is particularly relevant in cases involving serious injuries, rear-end collisions, hit-and-run accidents, or incidents caused by drunk drivers. Under Michigan law, third-party claims are governed by the state’s comparative negligence rules, which determine the amount of compensation based on each party’s degree of fault. The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm’s experienced attorneys can navigate the complexities of third-party claims, protecting clients’ rights and ensuring they receive the maximum compensation they deserve, including for long-term care needs resulting from catastrophic injuries sustained in rollover accidents or other severe crashes.
