Specifically, this bill changes the current legislative definition of the tort threshold requirement of "serious impairment of body function," which is the injury threshold that must be met before an auto accident survivor can sue the at-fault driver for non-economic loss damages (also known as pain and suffering damages).The bill could eliminate almost all third-party tort claims against at-fault drivers.

Above all, the article was insulting to Michigan families that have suffered through a severe auto accident and cannot go unanswered. Published: 09/05/12 |
