Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a car accident lawsuit in Norton Shores Michigan?
In Michigan the statute of limitations for a car accident lawsuit is generally three years from the date of the crash. However you must file a claim for no-fault benefits within one year of the accident. Missing these deadlines can bar your right to recover compensation.
Do I need a lawyer for a minor car accident in Norton Shores?
Even minor accidents can lead to hidden injuries or disputes with insurance companies. Michigan no-fault law limits your ability to sue unless you have a serious impairment of body function. A lawyer can review your case and advise whether you have a valid claim beyond no-fault benefits.
How does Michigan no-fault insurance affect my car accident claim?
Michigan is a no-fault state meaning your own insurance pays for your medical expenses and lost wages regardless of who caused the crash. You can only sue the other driver for non-economic damages like pain and suffering if your injury meets the legal definition of serious impairment. A lawyer can help determine if your injury qualifies.
