A group of car accident victims held a rally today in Southfield, Michigan to take a stand against the car insurance legislation that is currently being considered in Lansing. They are upset about a bill that recently passed the House Insurance Committee a week ago that would change Michigan’s insurance coverage requirements for victims who are injured in car accidents.
Michigan is currently the only state in the nation that requires uncapped medical benefit coverage for victims who are seriously injured in auto accidents. The legislation’s new proposal would allow motorists to purchase less expensive insurance in exchange for a more limited Personal Injury Protection (PIP) policy.
Supporters say motorists should have options for different levels of insurance coverage that fit within their budget, but opponents insist that motorists who opt for less coverage could end up underinsured and in serious financial trouble if they are injured in a car accident.
If you have been seriously injured in a Michigan car accident, make sure you receive the compensation you need to make a full recovery. Contact the experienced car accident attorneys at Jay Trucks & Associates, PC today for a free case evaluation.
