Michigan auto "No-Fault" insurance covers certain benefits for injuries from and related to a motor vehicle collision. Before 2019, these policies had unlimited medical coverage. Now, Michigan residents can choose different tiers for their personal injury protection (PIP) benefits.

The most common benefits are:

  • Wage loss payments for the first 3 years up to 85% of gross pay
  • Coverage for medical expenses
  • Payment for nursing-type services called "attendant care"
  • Payment for household services up to $20/day

Michigan no-fault policies may also include other benefits, like uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, collision coverage and "mini-tort".
