Michigan drivers must carry no-fault insurance including PIP coverage, plus minimum liability coverage of 50/100/10. Liability insurance pays for injuries or property damage you cause to others. Insurers must offer uninsured motorist coverage unless rejected. UM coverage provides critical financial protection when the at-fault driver does not have adequate insurance, ensuring you are fully protected.
