Ups Truck Accident Claim

Summary

In Michigan, after a UPS truck accident, your insurance typically covers damages due to the no-fault system. However, you may pursue additional claims for diminished value, loss of use, out-of-pocket expenses, and pain and suffering. To claim diminished value, obtain an appraisal even if repairs are complete. Consult a local attorney for specific advice and consider contacting your insurance or searching online for appraisers.
