Step-by-Step Guide
What Should You Do After an Accident in Wyoming?
- 1
Call 911 and Report the Accident
In Michigan, you are legally required to report accidents involving injury, death, or significant property damage. Call 911 from the scene in Wyoming and request both police and medical assistance.
- 2
Seek Immediate Medical Attention
Go to a hospital or urgent care — even if you feel fine. Many injuries like whiplash, concussions, and internal bleeding don't show symptoms immediately. Nearby hospitals include Metro Health Hospital.
- 3
Document Everything at the Scene
Take photos and videos of all vehicles, injuries, road conditions, traffic signals, and skid marks. Get names, phone numbers, and insurance information from all parties and witnesses.
- 4
Do Not Speak to Insurance Adjusters Without an Attorney
Insurance companies will contact you quickly — often within 24 hours. Their goal is to get a recorded statement they can use against you and to offer a lowball settlement before you understand your claim's true value.
- 5
Contact a Personal Injury Attorney Immediately
Michigan's statute of limitations is 3 years (Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2)). However, critical evidence — surveillance footage, witness memories, vehicle data — degrades rapidly. The sooner you call Bond Legal at (866) 423-7724, the stronger your case.
- 6
Keep All Medical Records and Bills
Every doctor visit, prescription, therapy session, and medical bill becomes evidence of your damages. Keep a daily journal documenting your pain levels, limitations, and emotional impact.
Michigan Law
How Does Michigan Personal Injury Law Work?
Modified Comparative Fault (51% Bar)
Source: Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.2959
Michigan uses modified comparative negligence — you can recover damages only if your fault is 50% or less. If you are 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Statute of Limitations: 3 years
Source: Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2)
In Michigan, you generally have 3 years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline typically bars you from recovering any compensation. There are limited exceptions for minors, discovery of latent injuries, and government claims — consult an attorney immediately.
Damage Caps
Non-economic damages are capped only in medical malpractice cases (adjusted annually — approximately $497,900 for non-physician providers and $886,400 for physician/hospital cases in 2024, Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.1483). There is no general cap on non-economic damages in auto accident or other personal injury cases. Punitive/exemplary damages are generally not available in Michigan; instead, courts may allow enhanced compensatory damages in egregious cases.
Key Michigan Laws Affecting Your Case
Modified Comparative Fault (51% Bar)
Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.2959
Michigan follows modified comparative negligence. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, and if you are 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing. Michigan courts apply this threshold on a per-defendant basis in multi-party cases.
3-Year Statute of Limitations
Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2)
Michigan has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, running from the date of injury. Wrongful death claims must be filed within 3 years of the date of death (Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2)). Claims against government entities require notice within 6 months (MCL § 691.1404).
No-Fault Auto Insurance System (PIP)
Mich. Comp. Laws § 500.3101 et seq.
Michigan is one of only a handful of true no-fault auto insurance states. Drivers must carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) that covers medical expenses, lost wages (up to 85% for 3 years), and household services regardless of fault. The 2019 reform (PA 21) made PIP coverage limits optional — drivers may choose unlimited, $500K, $250K, $100K, or $50K (Medicaid-eligible only). This has left many accident victims underinsured.
Serious Impairment Threshold for Pain & Suffering
Mich. Comp. Laws § 500.3135
To sue a negligent driver for non-economic damages (pain and suffering) in Michigan, the injured party must prove a 'serious impairment of body function' — defined as an objectively manifested impairment of an important body function that affects the person's general ability to lead their normal life. This is one of the highest tort thresholds in the nation and is a question of law for the court.
No-Fault Mini-Tort Property Damage
Mich. Comp. Laws § 500.3135(3)(e)
Under Michigan's no-fault system, you can only sue the at-fault driver for up to $3,000 in vehicle damage (the 'mini-tort'). Your own collision coverage pays for vehicle repairs above this amount. This is a uniquely Michigan limitation that surprises many accident victims.
Dram Shop Liability
Mich. Comp. Laws § 436.1801
Michigan's Dram Shop Act allows injured parties to sue licensed alcohol retailers who sold alcohol to a 'visibly intoxicated' person who subsequently caused injury. The statute also covers sales to minors. Michigan courts have interpreted 'visibly intoxicated' strictly — the standard requires outward signs of intoxication observable to a reasonable person.
OWI / Impaired Driving Law
Mich. Comp. Laws § 257.625
Michigan's Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) law sets the BAC limit at .08 for adults, .02 for those under 21, and .04 for commercial drivers. Michigan also has an 'Operating While Visibly Impaired' (OWVI) offense at lower BAC levels. High BAC (.17+) triggers 'Super Drunk' enhanced penalties (MCL § 257.625(1)(c)). In 2023, approximately 41% of all traffic fatalities in Michigan involved alcohol and/or drugs (MSP OHSP).
