You Might Be Eligible for Compensation Through No-Fault Insurance

Injuries can happen almost anywhere. Many people are hurt while working on their cars, getting kids into vehicles or unloading shopping carts. Few injury victims realize, however, that they may be able to seek compensation through Michigan no-fault insurance laws.

In Michigan, every registered owner of a motor vehicle must carry a no-fault insurance policy. Certain qualified expenses following an accident are covered under this insurance — regardless of who was at fault.

At Bredell & Bredell, based in Ann Arbor, we help injury victims get the no-fault insurance benefits they deserve under Michigan law. We use our experience as personal injury lawyers to investigate all possible options — including compensation through no-fault insurance and third-party claims.

A court will award no-fault coverage in many situations:

• When an injury occurs as a direct result of physical contact with equipment permanently mounted on the vehicle
• When the equipment is being operated or used
• When an injury occurs while property is being lifted onto or lowered from the vehicle in the loading or unloading process

Not every situation, however, is eligible. The No-Fault Act excludes coverage for employees injured in the course of their employment while loading, unloading or doing mechanical work on vehicles — unless the injuries arose from the operation of other vehicles. Workers who are not eligible for no-fault insurance benefits, however, may be eligible for workers' compensation benefits.

Many types of injuries occur while loading or unloading a car, but back injuries are some of the most common. People often experience pulled muscles and slipped disks, which can lead to nerve damage. Injuries to knees, shoulders, neck and joints are also common.
