Lost Wages or Earnings - Michigan No Fault Benefits:

Work loss benefits are payable to an injured person for three years following an accident, covering 85% of the gross lost wages. The maximum benefit is raised annually; for 2007 it is $4,589.00 per month. A doctor's disability slip and proof that you were earning a wage are required. If you were still looking for work or were temporarily unemployed at the time of an accident, you will still be able to receive benefits. If your earnings exceed the statutory maximum, then additional wages lost can usually be collected from the negligent driver's automobile insurer.

Our Clients Speak for Us:

"When I was injured and had to make a claim for benefits, my insurance company dragged their feet for months and would not pay me. I almost lost my home. The excellent staff at the AACC took over my claim and within two weeks I received a check for my lost wages. I would not have been able to make ends meet during this difficult time without the help I received from the legal staff at the AACC."
-Richard Gonzalez, Detroit
