Restrictions on Tort Liability

• Michigan has a No-Fault statute. Under the statute, an injured person cannot sue for pain and suffering unless the injury causes death, serious impairment of bodily function, or permanent, serious disfigurement. Whether an injury rises to the level of a "serious impairment of bodily function" or a "permanent, serious disfigurement" is left for a judge to decide.
• Uninsured (UM) and Underinsured Motorist (UIM) Coverage. Michigan does not have a statute regarding UM/UIM coverages.
