How a Washington Township crash claim usually runs
- The crash report. Crashes in Washington Township are generally reported by the Macomb County Sheriff's Office (contracted police services). 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 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.
