How a Rochester Hills crash claim usually runs
- The crash report. Crashes in Rochester Hills are generally reported by the Oakland County Sheriff's Office – City of Rochester Hills Division (contract). 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, and many Oakland County departments use the county’s CLEMIS portal.
- 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 6th Circuit Court, 1200 N. Telegraph Rd., Pontiac. Where a case is actually filed depends on the facts, including where the crash happened and where the parties live or do business.
