Minimum Coverage Requirements in Michigan

Michigan operates under a modified no-fault system where your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage pays medical bills regardless of fault. The state requires continuous proof of insurance, and coverage lapses trigger immediate license plate confiscation under Michigan law.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

PIP pays your medical expenses, lost wages, and replacement services after an accident regardless of fault.

Bodily Injury Liability

Covers injuries you cause to others in states without no-fault protection or when Michigan's tort threshold is met. Michigan's 50/100 minimum is higher than 38 other states, but still insufficient for serious multi-vehicle accidents. Seniors who own property should carry 100/300 minimums because Michigan allows unlimited tort liability for accidents causing death, permanent serious disfigurement, or serious impairment of body function.

Property Damage Liability

Pays for damage you cause to another person's vehicle or property.

Property Protection Insurance (PPI)

A Michigan-specific coverage that pays for damage your vehicle causes to other people's property, buildings, or fixed objects regardless of fault. PPI is mandatory and covers incidents no other state requires first-party coverage for—such as your vehicle rolling into a garage door or fence on your own property.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Optional coverage that protects you when hit by an uninsured driver. Michigan does not require this coverage because PIP already covers your medical bills regardless of the other driver's insurance status.
