Michigan No-Fault Law - Update on New Legislation

Michigan Senate Bill No. 1 and House Bill No. 4397 were passed and put into effect on June 11, 2019. These changes impact your current  policy.  Please be aware of these changes in coverage:

* Drivers or occupants of private passenger automobiles and pedestrians are no longer provided

* Personal Injury Protection (PIP) through our named insured’s policy unless they are:

1. A Named Insured

2. The named insured’s spouse, or

3. A resident relative of either

Instead,  if  they  are  a  Michigan  resident,  they  will be  afforded  PIP  benefits  through  the  Michigan Assigned  Claims  Plan (MACP) with  a limit of $250,000. This includes drivers, other than spouses, who reside outside of the named insured’s residence, pedestrians/bicyclists & passengers who are not a Named Insured or Resident Relative, and unrelated household members
