Don't Miss Michigan's No-Fault PIP Deadlines
October 22, 2024
After a Michigan car accident, your first stop for medical and wage-loss benefits is your own no-fault PIP carrier — but only if you file properly and on time.
Key deadlines to remember
- 30 days: Notify your auto insurer of the crash.
- 1 year: File a written application for PIP benefits.
- 1 year-back rule: You can only recover expenses incurred in the year leading up to a lawsuit.
- 3 years: Statute of limitations for third-party bodily injury claims.
Missing any of these can be catastrophic to your case. When in doubt, call us before signing anything from the at-fault driver’s insurer.
