Interesting item in today's Free Press pitting two not-too-loveable opponents, the ambulance chasers vs. the insurers. Newcomer to Detroit and MI, CURE auto insurer is threatening defamation law suits against a Michigan Auto Law lawyer and blogger who has been attacking them. Why? Because it affects the tort lawyers' bottom line.
Who will you cheer for? Anyone using CURE to insure?
"A newcomer to the state, CURE arrived in Michigan in 2021 in the wake of the no-fault auto insurance revamp, which gave drivers a first-ever choice over medical coverage in their policies and introduced price controls on medical services.
Before the reform, all Michigan drivers had to buy unlimited no-fault coverage and it was easier for some law firms to profit when taking a standard one-third cut of clients' medical benefits payouts.
"When drivers save money by choosing lower amounts of no-fault medical, known as personal injury protection, or “PIP,” it can ultimately drag some accident law firms' profits."
