MICHIGAN AUTO INSURANCE GUIDE
Michigan Settlement, Release & Claim Closure
Settlement should come only after PIP rights, residual liability claims, UM/UIM coverage, damages, provider issues, reimbursement interests and all responsible parties have been identified.
- Identify every person and entity being released.
- Review general-release, indemnity, hold-harmless, confidentiality and attorney-fee provisions.
- Confirm whether UM/UIM or unresolved no-fault rights could be impaired.
- Resolve provider, reimbursement and subrogation issues before distribution.
- Preserve complete settlement, release and payment documentation.
