Type of accident
Your Legal Rights After an Accident in Detroit, MI
Detroit accident claims are governed by Michigan law. Verified Michigan law, with sources. General information — not legal advice for your specific case.
You have 3 years to file [source]
Michigan's statute of limitations gives you 3 years from the date of the crash to file a personal-injury lawsuit. Miss it and you usually lose the right to recover — one of the most important reasons to talk to a lawyer early.
Fault & your right to recover [source]
Michigan follows modified comparative negligence (51% bar) — you can recover as long as you were not more than 50% at fault. At 51% or more, recovery is barred. Michigan is a no-fault state: you first turn to your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage for medical bills, and can step outside the no-fault system to sue the at-fault driver only when your injuries meet the state's threshold.
Minimum insurance coverage [source]
Michigan's minimum liability coverage is just $50,000 per person / $100,000 per accident for bodily injury and $10,000 for property damage — often far less than a serious injury costs, which is why uninsured/underinsured-motorist coverage matters.
Limits on compensation [source]
Michigan does not cap the compensation you can recover in a general personal-injury claim — your award is based on your actual losses.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a car accident lawyer cost in Detroit, MI?▾
Most car accident lawyers in Detroit work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and they only get paid if you win your case. The typical contingency fee is 33% of your settlement before trial, or 40% if the case goes to court. There are no hourly fees or retainers for most personal injury cases.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Michigan?▾
In Michigan, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is 3 years from the date of the accident. If you miss this deadline, you lose your right to pursue compensation. It's critical to contact a lawyer as soon as possible to protect your claim.
What is Michigan's fault system for car accidents?▾
Michigan is a no-fault state, meaning your own insurance covers your medical expenses regardless of who caused the accident. However, you can step outside the no-fault system and file a lawsuit if your injuries meet the state's serious injury threshold.
Do I need a lawyer for a minor car accident in Detroit, MI?▾
Even minor accidents can result in significant medical bills, especially if symptoms like whiplash or soft tissue injuries appear days or weeks later.

What should I do immediately after a car accident in Detroit, MI?▾
First, call 911 and get medical attention, even if injuries seem minor. Document the scene with photos. Exchange information with the other driver. File a police report.
