Lawsuit Seeks Information on Michigan Auto Injury Claims

A coalition fighting proposed changes to Michigan’s auto insurance laws filed a lawsuit seeking claims information from an association that handles medical bills for seriously injured accident victims. The suit filed in Ingham County by the Coalition Protecting Auto No-Fault comes after the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association denied a Freedom of Information Act request, saying it isn’t subject to the law. The Coalition Protecting Auto No-Fault says information related to the cost of claims and the age of claimants is needed for lawmakers to make informed decisions about proposed changes to state law.
