We have been discussing when no-fault benefits are paid to a Michigan motor vehicle accident victim. There are a couple special situations that are worth mentioning. For example if the victim who was injured was in a "vehicle for hire " like a taxicab limousine etc. or in a company car the insurance company responsible for paying no-fault benefits is different.
SPECIAL SITUATIONS:
Vehicles for Hire: If patient is in a Vehicle for Hire (limousine, shuttle bus) the Hired Vehicle's insurance company pays. This does not include school buses, certain other buses or taxi cabs.
Company Car: If patient is injured and he has a car given to him or her to use by his or her employer, the only time that car's insurance company pays is if the patient was actually in that vehicle at the time of injury.
