What Happens If the Insurance Company Ignores My Claim?
If another driver was at fault, Michigan law may let you recover up to $3,000 for the vehicle damage you paid for out of pocket. Michigan Auto Law handles the whole claim for you, at no cost to you.
You called. You emailed. You did what they asked and sent what they wanted, and the response is silence. The unanswered claim is not just frustrating, it can leave your own money sitting with the at-fault driver’s insurer. There is a way to put your claim in front of people who deal with these companies every day, and it does not cost you anything.
You Did Everything Right. So Why Is Your Claim Going Nowhere?
A claim that goes quiet is its own kind of stress. You are left wondering if you missed a form, if you called the wrong department, or if you are simply being waited out until you give up. Meanwhile the money you paid for damage someone else caused is still gone. The delay is not proof you did something wrong, and it is not a reason to walk away from what you are owed.
A Silent Insurer Isn't the End of Your Claim
Michigan’s mini-tort law lets a not-at-fault driver recover up to $3,000 in vehicle damage directly from the at-fault driver’s insurance company. When that claim is the one going unanswered, a formal demand from a law firm changes the conversation. To qualify, you need to be the registered owner and named insured on the vehicle, you cannot be the one at fault, and the driver who hit you needs to have had insurance. This is a property damage claim only. It is separate from any injury claim and does not require you to have been hurt.
What this claim covers:
This claim is built to recover out-of-pocket vehicle damage costs, including the deductible you already paid. It is a focused property damage claim, not an injury case, and it does not require you to file another claim with your insurance company.

Common Questions About a Claim the Insurer Won't Answer
You have options beyond waiting on hold. A property damage claim under Michigan law can be pursued through a formal demand to the at-fault driver’s insurer, which is exactly what we handle. Start your claim and we will take the follow-up off your hands.
Not necessarily. A quiet claim is not the same as a denied one, and even a denial is not always the end of the road. Submit the form and we will review where things stand and what can be done next.
This is a property damage claim made against the at-fault driver’s insurance, not a claim against your own policy. That distinction matters, and it is one reason a firm handling the demand can help move things along.
Because the claim is made against the at-fault driver’s insurance rather than your own policy, it works differently from a claim on your coverage. If you have questions about your specific policy, we can talk through it during your free claim review.
Michigan law gives you a limited window to protect your rights, and it closes faster than most people realize. A claim that has stalled for weeks is still burning that time. Start your claim and let us check where you stand.
No. This is a vehicle damage claim only. It exists separately from any injury claim, and you do not need to have been hurt to pursue the money you paid for repairs.
