Legal Question in Personal Injury in Michigan

That is a total lie by the insurance company. If you are involved with a collision with a motor vehicle, no fault covers it. Which company pays is a trickier issue, but coverage is not. Call me at (313)402-0853 to discuss the details. Tim Klisz

This may be true. Certain states like New Jersey have exclusions contained in their personal injury protection/no-fault statutes that exclude certain means of transportation which they do not seem to be a motor vehicle. In New Jersey, a moped or motorcycle is not a motor vehicle as defined by the PIP statutes and thus there is no PIP/no-fault coverage for an injured motorcycle or moped rider. However, your father should be able to obtain PIP coverage from the driver who rear-ended your father. The offending driver's carrier should provide PIP/no-fault coverage. Your father also has a personal injury action that he can bring against the driver of the moped for recovery of pain and suffering so long as he has sustained a significant injury.

I would be happy to answer any additional questions that you may have.
