NOTE: To claim the loss, your automobile must insure with no-fault insurance.
However, liability claims (even personal injury lawsuits) against “at-fault” motorists can also be possible. SupposeFor example, if an auto accident results in impairment of a body part, permanent disfigurement, or death. In that case, the victim can legally hold the at-fault driver liable for all the injuries and damages.
