What Michigan no-fault pays you
Your own auto insurer pays medical care up to your PIP limit, 85% of lost wages for up to three years (capped at $7,455 per 30 days for accidents from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027), up to $20 a day for household help, and attendant care. You may also have a claim against the at-fault driver for losses no-fault doesn’t cover and, if the injury meets Michigan’s threshold, for pain and suffering. Read the full no-fault guide.
