Hit and Run Accidents in Michigan: Your Options for Recovery
If the driver who hit you fled, you still have options under Michigan law and your own policy.
No-Fault Still Applies
Michigan's No-Fault system requires your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage to pay medical bills and a portion of lost wages after a crash, regardless of who was at fault. Even in a hit-and-run, your own PIP coverage generally pays your medical bills and wage loss.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
For pain-and-suffering damages, uninsured motorist coverage on your own policy may apply when the at-fault driver cannot be identified.
Reporting and Evidence
Report the crash to police immediately and preserve any evidence — partial plates, vehicle descriptions, or camera footage can help identify the driver.
