The Legal Picture
Q: How does Michigan no-fault coverage work for an injured pedestrian? Pedestrians struck by a motor vehicle in Michigan can generally claim no-fault personal injury protection benefits — medical care, a portion of lost wages, and replacement services — typically through their own household auto policy first, or through Michigan's assigned claims process if no policy applies.
Q: Who determines fault at a mid-block or marked crossing like this one? The investigating agency examines the physical evidence, any available video, and driver and witness statements to determine what happened; that review had not been made public as of publication.
Nothing in this section assumes anything about how this particular crash happened or who, if anyone, was at fault. That determination belongs to the Canton Police Department.

Warren Road is a major east-west arterial through Canton Township in Wayne County, carrying heavy commuter and commercial traffic between Ypsilanti and the western Detroit suburbs.
