Re: Hit and run
What you failed to mention, is the extent of your injuries, if any. Under Michigan law, unless you had a serious injury that impaired an important body function that changed the trajectory of your life, you do not have grounds to bring a claim, even if the driver was totally negligent and drunk. If you find this incredible, blame the Michigan Supreme Court that issues decision after decision upholding the interests of insurance companies against the interests of the citizens of the state.
