One thing you need to realize is that more than one person may be legally liable to another. It's possible that the person suing you is also suing the other driver. Regardless, you are now in a position where your defense may be "it wasn't me, it was this other guy". Whenever... View More

How do you know the other car wasn't insured? If you have received paperwork starting a lawsuit, you should consult immediately with a local attorney. It's possible to raise as a defense the fact that they weren't insured.
Can I still make a claim on my vehicle on others persons insurance?
answered on Apr 7, 2021
Not for the vehicle; that's (one of) the consequences of not having insurance. You'd be responsible for your vehicle even if the other driver were at fault.
I was in a Jimmy Johns drive through ready to order. A Jimmy Johns employee was told to move their car, during that process she backed into my car and destroyed the front end of my car.

It would most likely be processed like any other traffic accident. Exchange insurance information with the employee and make a claim with your insurance company; they will take it from there.

Michigan law became complicated due to Republican attempts to limit the liability of careless people. I suggest you contact a member of the Michigan Assn for Justice in your county --they give free consults.

I don't believe that's true. What you are referring to is often called the "mini-tort" statute. It requires you to have insurance, as it's intended to reimburse you for your deductible.
it was denied on 08/20/2015. is that to long ago to appeal their decision and get the compensation i paid extra for out of my paycheck? it was an 80,000 policy and i received none. my bac was only a little above the legal limit. and the way they took it was sketchy and contradicts themselves.
answered on Jan 21, 2021
You should talk with an insurance attorney, but I suspect 1) it is too late to now appeal that decision, and 2) even if you did appeal, I would imagine the policy allows them to decline coverage when they can point to a criminal act like this as the cause.

If the driver was cited, I'm not sure what purpose the AG would have in getting involved. You should contact the court or prosecutor's office to see what happened.
My brother and mom got in an accident last night. A drunk driver left a bar and barely made it 500 feet before hitting them head on, in their lane. We live in a no fault state.

Call your insurance company; they will take it from there. Depending on a number of factors, you may want to engage a local attorney in what is called a dram shop case.

The MACP assigns claims to private insurers when there is no coverage available for the claimant. They should assign your claim to a private insurance carrier. That carrier should pay your benefits. It is possible the assigned carrier will go after your dad's insurance if they think AAA... View More

Likely no. Our no-fault system makes your insurance company responsible for your medical bills. About the only way to get outside of the no-fault system and sue the other driver is if you suffered a serious impairment to a bodily function (e.g. paralysis, amputation, etc.). Back pain, usually,... View More

Put simply, no. Mopeds must be registered at a Secretary of State office unless operated solely on private property. A three-year registration decal costs about $15.00.

It's possible. I would imagine when he goes to court, the prosecutor will likely want him admit to careless driving right then or they'll charge him with reckless driving and malicious destruction of property.
