Are You An Ohio Driver Who’s Been Hurt In A Michigan Accident?
It is not always an easy answer in determining whether an out-of-state resident can receive no-fault benefits. Often, it can be promptly determined that a person can receive no-fault benefits, but the question of which insurance company has the actual priority for paying for the no-fault benefits can take some time.
Here is a quick guide to determining the eligibility for no-fault benefits by out-of-state residents involved in Michigan auto accidents:
- Pedestrians and bicyclists who are involved in auto accidents in Michigan are always entitled to receive no-fault benefits for injuries sustained in an auto accident in Michigan.
- Drivers and passengers of Michigan insured motor vehicles which are involved in Michigan auto accidents are always entitled to receive no-fault benefits for injuries sustained in an auto accident in Michigan.
- Drivers and passengers of motor vehicles not registered in Michigan which are involved in Michigan auto accidents may be entitled to receive no-fault benefits depending on their car insurance policy. If the applicable policy is certified in Michigan, then the injured person can receive Michigan no-fault benefits up to $500,000.00.
Drivers and passengers of motor vehicles that are not registered in Michigan that are involved in Michigan car accidents will not be able to receive no-fault benefits if the applicable auto insurance policy is not certified in Michigan.
 In this situation, there will be a significant injustice as injured persons will not be able to receive no-fault benefits, and they will be unable to sue the negligent driver for their medical bills, loss of wages, and household chores.
