Transportation Expenses:Michigan No-Fault Lawyers: Detroit Ann Arbor Lansing Grand Rapids
Attorney Daniel L. Buckfire from my firm wrote a great book on the Michigan No-Fault Laws, called “The Ultimate Michigan Car Accident Handbook.” You can request a free copy by clicking here. The book has a section on the special transportation expense benefits available for Michigan car accident victims under the no-fault insurance laws. I have pasted that portion of the book below for review. Please contact us with any questions about your case by completing the contact form or calling us at 1-800-60-1717.
Special Transportation
What is it for?
This is for a van or specially equipped van or vehicle to take you to and from your medical appointments. This is often required for persons in wheelchairs or other equipment that requires special transportation.
How much can I get?
The insurance company must pay the reasonable cost for this transportation.
How long can I get it for?
You are entitled to these benefits as long as you need to get to and from your medical appointments to be treated for the injuries that you suffered in the accident.
How do I file my claim?
The claim must be submitted to the insurance adjuster assigned to your claim.
What type of documentation do I need?
You need to submit the invoice or bill from the transportation company and a prescription from your doctor for this type of service.
How much time do I have to file my claim?
You should submit your claim for special transportation services every thirty days, but claims for transportation services can be submitted up to within one year of the date of service.
What do I do if the insurance company refuses to pay these benefits?
If your insurance company refuses to pay these benefits, your only recourse is to file a lawsuit against the company that demands payment for the services.
How much time do I have to file my lawsuit?
If the claims are presented within one year but are not paid by the insurance company within one year of the date of expense or claim, it will be necessary to start a lawsuit within that one year period in order to protect your claim. If you choose to begin a lawsuit against your insurance company for No-Fault benefits, you must file a lawsuit within ONE YEAR of the date on which the last unpaid No-Fault benefit was incurred.
If you fail to file your lawsuit within this one year period, you will lose the right to have the benefit or expense paid.
As you are approaching the one year anniversary of your car accident, and there are any outstanding claims that have not been paid by the insurance company, we recommend that you file a lawsuit prior to the one year anniversary of the accident.
