Here’s important news for auto crash victims, particularly Wisconsin residents, who have been hurt in car accidents in Michigan but were told they couldn’t sue there. You can now.
As of Aug. 1 Michigan is no longer officially the worst state in which to get injured in a car accident, according to my colleague in Michigan, Steven Gursten.
The law, now much more fair to accident victims, means that Wisconsin residents who were hurt in car crashes in Michigan may be able to bring lawsuits regarding their accident in our neighboring state.
Steve’s website ably decribes all the details and implications of the change in Michigan’s law.

There are probably a few hundred cases of people who were told by Michigan lawyers that they had no case because has the state one of the strictest auto accident threshhold law, according to Steve. That old unfair law required that an accident victim be on disability for months.
The change in the law will be retroactive, so anyone from Wisconsin who has been injured in any type of car accident but was told they did not have a case for the past there years may now have a second chance and should speak with a Michigan attorney immediately.
