Ludington, MI Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

It would appear as though you do not have insurance coverage in place at the time of the incident. However, I would suggest setting up a consultation with a lawyer familiar with insurance coverage issues to get an opinion.

Unfortunately, you are in a bad way. The law in Michigan is very harsh to those without insurance. Assuming you're the owner or registrant, you will be sued for all damages to the other person, both medical and collision. You can also not sue anyone. Sorry for the bad news.

You didn't say how much money is involved, which does make a difference. If I understand you to have said you signed her name to a check after you got divorced, be happy if you don't get charged with a felony. Being awarded everything in your possession does not give legal significance to check on which she is the only signer. A check is essentially an IOU. It has no intrinsic value it is an instruction to the bank, by the maker, to pay the beneficiary an amount of money. Your saying that a check was left in your possession is like saying "I had paper in my possession so I was allowed to write a document saying that she owes me $1,000.00." It is ridiculous nonsense. If the Court ordered that you are entitled to a bank account and its contents, that is something else. But if the only method by which you could get a hold of these funds was to write a check and sign her name to it, you stole this money. And ALL of this is a result of acting without legal advice. Your divorce judgment is not properly served by email and it is not properly drafted if it does not address bank accounts.
