Well, there are many things that can happen. Unfortunately, I am unsure as to what type of situations for which you are referring. Were you injured? Did you suffer any damages to your vehicle? How long was your collision?

In Michigan you make a claim, in writing, with your own vehicle insurer for collision damage and for Michigan No Fault Benefits (ie: wage loss, medical expenses and replacement services). If your injuries rise to the level of a serious impairment of a body function and/or permanent serious disfigurement (or death) you may make a so called 3rd party claim against any at fault owner/driver.

That is a very broad question. What in particular do you want to know?

This question is overboard as there are so many things to think about. Were you injured? Do you have medical bills? Do you have a doctor you can treat with on your own or need help to find a doctor? Do you have health insurance? Do you have property damage that needs to be fixed? The person that caused your accident is legally responsible for your property damage, reasonable medical bills, wage loss and pain and suffering.

You need to make your claim against the at fault parties carrier and then negotiate a settlement. If you are not up to this, you should get an experienced attorney who will take the case on a contingency fee ( percentage of recovery)

If you were injured you can open a PIP claim with your own insurance company. You should not speak with the at fault insurance company until you have discussed your case with an attorney.

When you recover from your injuries and know what all your medical bills are and what your wage loss is, you and the insurer can settle your case. I think you have a better chance of being treated fairly if you hire a lawyer to help you deal with the insurance company. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Wisconsin runs three years from the date of the accident.
