How a Warren crash claim usually runs
- The crash report. Warren Police direct people to buy crash reports online through CLEMIS. The Records Bureau, on the second floor of police headquarters, is open weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Source: Warren Police: FAQs. 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 37th District Court, 8300 Common Rd., Warren. Larger claims and most suits against at-fault drivers go to the 16th Circuit Court, 40 N. Main St., Mount Clemens. Where a case is actually filed depends on the facts, including where the crash happened and where the parties live or do business.
