Michigan’s Default: 250/500
Michigan’s no-fault system works differently from every other state’s. Drivers choose their personal injury protection level, and bodily injury liability defaults to $250,000 per person and $500,000 per accident — the highest default in the nation. Drivers who qualify may elect limits as low as $50,000/$100,000, plus $10,000 for property damage outside Michigan. The election matters: the lowest limits leave a serious crash largely on your own shoulders.
No-Fault Rules
Michigan is a no-fault state: after a crash, your own personal injury protection covers your medical bills first, no matter who caused it, and the right to sue is limited to serious injuries. But an estimated 22.3% of Michigan drivers were uninsured in 2023 (Insurance Research Council) — the fourth-highest rate in the nation. Uninsured motorist coverage is an optional add-on in Michigan — worth asking for, since it’s how you protect yourself from them.
Driving in Westwood
Nearly every trip in Westwood starts with a car — that is simply daily life here. Add Michigan’s harsh winters, lake-effect snow and icy roads, and comprehensive coverage — the kind that pays for weather damage — earns its keep here.
Why It Matters
State minimums keep you legal; they don’t make you whole. With Westwood’s median home value around $193,400, most households here have far more to protect than the lowest electable limits covers. The right limits are based on what you own, not just what the state requires.
Westwood Area Risk & Demographics
Road Risk: Nearly every trip in Westwood starts with a car — that is simply daily life in the area. Local roads carry school runs, commutes and freight, and that steady traffic is the everyday exposure auto insurance prices first.
What Local Households Protect: The median home value in Westwood is about $193,400 — below the Michigan median of $231,600. That is the scale of assets a state-minimum liability policy leaves exposed after a serious at-fault crash — the gap between staying legal and staying whole.
The Statewide Picture: Michigan is a no-fault state, and an estimated 22.3% of its drivers were uninsured in 2023 (Insurance Research Council) — the fourth-highest rate in the nation. Uninsured motorist coverage is how Westwood drivers protect themselves from that risk, and Michigan’s harsh winters, lake-effect snow and icy roads make comprehensive coverage — the kind that pays for weather damage — a practical part of the same decision.
