Frequently Asked Questions
I don’t own a car. Can I still get PIP?
Yes. Michigan no-fault provides PIP to pedestrians through several priority tiers under MCL 500.3114-3115 — even when the pedestrian owns no vehicle.
What if the driver fled the scene?
You can apply for PIP through the Michigan Assigned Claims Plan (MACP) and pursue uninsured motorist benefits.
Can I sue for pain and suffering?
Yes, if your injuries meet the threshold injury standard — death, permanent serious disfigurement, or serious impairment of body function under MCL 500.3135.
What if I was crossing outside a crosswalk?
Michigan applies comparative fault. Recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, but is not barred unless you are more than 50% at fault for non-economic damages.
