Car damaged in driveway

Call our attorneys. Michigan is a no-fault car insurance state. Yet, you may be able to film a property damage claim with the at-fault driver's insurance company if they hit your parked car. If you were driving at the time, you may be eligible to get up to $1,000 in damages through Michigan's mini-tort provision.

Whether you can catch the culprit or not, you should call the police. Hit and runs are against the law, so you need to record the crime. The police might also be able to help you reach the other motorist, so they could help you get the compensation you need.

Laws About Damaged Vehicles Even if your car can move after a collision, it may not be drivable in the eyes of the law. Although laws may differ based on your location, most states have laws that prevent driving damaged cars if the damage represents a danger to passengers, other drivers, and pedestrians.
