Legal Question in Traffic Law in Michigan

Michigan No-fault Insurance Laws...

In a recent incident, my wife and I were run off the road by an oncoming vehicle. The person fled the scene and when contacted by police,admitted to falling asleep at the wheel and was henceforth issued a citation. Damage to vehicle suspension did occur. My insurance is picking up my tab and then suing this persons insurance company. Can I still sue that person for the $500 that Michigan Law limits and/or more? The inconvience of this whole incident has been a nightmare not to mention almost being killed!

Re: Michigan No-fault Insurance Laws...

Hello, I have just received the message that you posted regarding your car accident. In most cases you are limited by the no-fault law in your ability to bring suit if you haven't sustained a "serious impairment of body function." There are some exceeptions that exist if there are replacement losses or wage losses in excess of what has been covered by your insurance company. The various possibilities are too numerous to cover in a forum such as this. Please call me after August 20th for more information. Good Luck,John C. Talpos, http://www.Mich-Lawyer.com
