Potential PIP Cases
October 13th, 2010 at 3:31 pm   starstarstarstarstar      

As you have learned this past month through my blogs, no-fault benefits may be payable in circumstances where you may not have thought they would be because the injury was not caused by a typical motor vehicle crash. However the injury DID involve a motor vehicle.

We know that in order for Michigan No Fault benefits to be payable you need to ask the following question: Was there an accidental injury that arose out of the ownership, operation, use or maintenance of the motor vehicle as a motor vehicle?  If the answer is yes, then the Michigan motor vehicle injured victim may be entitled to no fault benefits.

Here are a few examples of unusual circumstances where benefits may still be payable:

Use of Motor Vehicle

 

  • Boy on inner tube being pulled by car down snowy road hits a fence. Entitled to PIP.
  • Stove in motor home exploded causing burns. Entitled to PIP (there's a dual use of this vehicle).
  • Man partially asphyxiated by leaking propane when sleeping in camper. Entitled to PIP. (This vehicle has a dual use)
