How a Troy crash claim usually runs
- The crash report. The Troy Police Department sells crash reports online through CLEMIS; you need the details from the crash slip the officer gave you. Source: Troy Police: records. If the State Police responded instead, use the Traffic Crash Purchasing System ($15 a report; it requires a MiLogin account).
- 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. A no-fault claim of $25,000 or less usually goes to the 52nd District Court – Division 4, 520 W. Big Beaver Rd., Troy. 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.
