auto insurance

Kelley Miller lost the use of her arms and legs ten years ago in a catastrophic car crash; now, she's lost her quality of life and her home, due to the state's new auto no fault law.

Survivors of catastrophic car crashes despair as loss of care due to new no fault law changes threatens their wellbeing and even their lives

Accident survivors are expressing dismay at news Michigan auto owners will receive $400 refund checks. The checks will use surplus money from a fund meant to pay for their treatment.

The amnesty was written into the 2019 auto no-fault insurance law. It allows people who have gone uninsured to buy auto insurance without penalty.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced Tuesday that drivers can expect bigger savings on auto insurance rates over what they paid in the previous year. That’s under the state’s new insurance law that she signed in 2019.

Republican State Senator Jim Runestad says political indifference to the desperate plight of auto accident survivors with catastrophic injuries is "the coldest I've seen."

A fund to care for catastrophically injured auto accident survivors has a big surplus. The board agreed to send refund checks to Michigan drivers after a request from Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

Then, a discussion about the effort to update 1,700 historical markers across the state to tell a fuller story. And, local election drama in a southern Michigan township, where a clerk who refused to turn over election equipment for a routine software check lost her oversight of this week’s vote.

Observers say work on Michigan's new no fault auto insurance bill in 2019 was rushed, sloppy, and obscured behind closed doors. But it passed with bipartisan support. Both sides promised to fix any problems with it later. The broken promise is leaving injured people without care.

Republican leaders in the House (and Senate) are sitting on bills that would help auto accident survivors who are losing medical care.
