How a Allen Park crash claim usually runs
- The crash report. Crashes in Allen Park are generally reported by the Allen Park Police Department. Get the report number at the scene or by calling the agency, and ask how it sells copies: many agencies use the State Police Traffic Crash Purchasing System.
- Treatment. Tell every provider the injury came from a car crash, so bills go to the no-fault insurer. See all metro Detroit trauma centers.
- Your no-fault claim. It goes to your own auto insurer (or a relative’s you live with). See what no-fault pays.
- If a lawsuit is needed. Larger claims and most suits against at-fault drivers go to the 3rd Circuit Court, Detroit. Where a case is actually filed depends on the facts, including where the crash happened and where the parties live or do business.
