No-Fault & Uninsured Motorist Insurance Settlement

Posted on July 15th 2009

We recently settled an Ingham County lawsuit for clients who were injured in a Lansing area car accident. The accident victims were a husband and wife who suffered shoulder injuries when their car was struck by an uninsured driver. The uninsured driver was negligent and caused the accident.

Our clients had their auto insurance policy through Auto Owners Insurance Company. Their policy provided for Michigan No-Fault Insurance Benefits and Uninsured Motorists Benefits. The insurance company underpaid some benefits and neglected to pay required medical expenses. Through the settlement, they agreed to pay the medical providers their fees and charges related to the injuries suffered in the car accident.

Because the negligent driver was not insured, we made a claim for Uninsured Motorists Benefits for the accident victims against their own policy. These claims were for their personal injuries suffered in the accident. The insurance company paid a settlement for these benefits as well.

This case demonstrates the importance of drivers in Michigan purchasing uninsured motorist coverage on your auto insurance policy. Because there is a significant number of uninsured drivers in Michigan, it is necessary to have this coverage to protect yourself in the event of an accident.
