Michigan’s no-fault insurance law has long been a silver lining for those victimized by catastrophic loss in motor vehicle accidents. However, obtaining benefits after a motor vehicle accident can be challenging because insurers often deny claims or pay as little as possible to protect their profits. Moreover, recent changes to our no-fault law raise serious concerns for survivors of catastrophic injuries, their families and their medical and rehabilitation professionals. The best decision you can make to protect your rights after a car, truck, or motorcycle accident is to consult an experienced no-fault insurance attorney like those at Miller, Tischler & Vislosky.
When you become our client, we will take the time to explain all of your rights, deal with the insurance company, and make sure you receive the benefits you deserve.

Insurers frequently deny claims for essential no-fault benefits such as medical treatment, wage loss, and attendant care. At Miller, Tischler & Vislosky, P.C., our no-fault insurance attorneys know how to level the playing field against insurance companies. We leverage our negotiating skills to make sure our clients are treated fairly. If an insurer fails to pay the full value of claim, we will litigate in a court of law. Whether inside or outside of the courtroom, we will always put your best interests first and fight to protect your rights.
In addition to PIP benefits, Michigan’s no-fault law allows accident victims to seek benefits through a third-party claim for pain and suffering and other non-economic losses. Unlike a first party claim which is brought against your own insurance company, a third party claim involves filing a lawsuit against the at-fault driver for negligence.
To have a valid third party claim, the accident must have caused a “threshold injury” which is defined as (1) permanent and serious disfigurement, (2) serious impairment of a bodily function, or (3) death. Additionally, under Michigan’s law of comparative negligence, the other driver must be found more than 50 percent at fault for the accident. Ultimately, it takes a skilled no-fault insurance attorney to prove that the other driver was negligent and that your injury meets the “threshold injury” standard.
