Frequently Asked Questions
Does Michigan no-fault PIP cover motorcyclists?
Only when a motorcycle is involved with a motor vehicle (typically a four-wheeled vehicle). Single-vehicle motorcycle crashes are not covered by no-fault PIP — careful coverage analysis is essential.
Can I recover non-economic damages?
Yes, if the threshold injury standard is met under MCL 500.3135 — death, permanent serious disfigurement, or serious impairment of body function.
What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?
Michigan allows motorcyclists 21+ to ride without a helmet under certain conditions. Helmet status may impact damages allocation but does not bar recovery.
How long do I have to file?
Generally three years under MCL 600.5805. Government claims for road defects require notice within 120 days.
