Plunkett Cooney’s specialists in No Fault insurance matters handle disputes against client insurance companies on claims for benefits under Michigan’s No Fault Act, (MCL 500.3101 et seq.). Our attorneys have a thorough understanding of the No Fault Act as well as an ability to prepare and defend these claims aggressively.

Our attorneys are often called upon to interpret and advise on a broad range of No-Fault insurance coverage questions. Many of the questions arise from pending litigation. In this area of practice, Plunkett Cooney attorneys defend and occasionally commence declaratory judgment actions to determine whether or not there is coverage under a given insurance policy.
