Jackson, MI asked in Car Accidents for Michigan

Q: can i receive legal help if someone rear ended my car and a red light and damaged my vehicle?

Sitting at a red light at 4AM, a teenager going 45mph hit us in the back end, pushing us through the intersection and causing $1500+ in damages to be fixed. She didn't receive a ticket and her insurance policy does not cover anything. Michigan being a no fault state, how do we seek help?

A: Contact a member of the Michigan Assn for Justice--they give free consultations. No fault, by the way, applies to the medical bills. Talk to the attorney before talking to the insurance adjuster.
