Why Michigan Injury Claims Get Denied — and How to Respond
A denial is not the end. Understanding why claims get denied helps you fight back effectively.
Common Reasons for Denial
Disputed fault, alleged pre-existing conditions, gaps in treatment, missed deadlines, and coverage disputes are frequent grounds for denial.
Responding to a Denial
A denial can often be challenged with additional evidence, medical documentation, or legal action. The one-year-back rule under MCL 500.3145 limits how far back you can claim unpaid No-Fault benefits, so prompt action protects your recovery.
Don't Give Up Too Soon
Insurers count on claimants accepting a denial. To sue an at-fault driver for pain and suffering in Michigan, your injury must meet the serious-impairment-of-body-function threshold. Legal help can turn a denial around.
