Michigan is no stranger to crowded roadways in larger cities, which leads to more accidents and higher rates. The state also experiences harsh winter weather and has one of the highest rates of uninsured motorists. Michigan is a no-fault state, which may contribute to its high average rates. Drivers are required to carry personal injury protection (PIP) coverage, which can pay for your injuries and the injuries of your passengers after an accident, regardless of who was at fault.
