Michigan Auto Insurance Reform Links
Understanding the Changes and How They Affect You
On July 2, 2020 the new Michigan no-fault law takes effect, signed by Governor Whitmer last May. Individuals are going to have the opportunity to reduce their personal injury protection, otherwise known as “PIP”, to lower their premiums.
The citizens of Michigan have been asking for reform to lower auto insurance premiums for years and now they have the opportunity. The choices that are available to individuals now can generate savings, but they also represent, in many cases, a reduction of coverage. It’s our opinion that people should carefully consider the coverage reduction and its possible impact on covered individuals under the policy. Should people make no decision, it’s likely the auto carrier they’re currently insured with will renew their policy with the full PIP coverage which will remain unlimited.
