'The other person's insurance company should put the car back into the same condition that it was at the time of the accident.'
Michigan is a 'no fault' state. I've had 3 wrecks in 15 years. The other driver was ticketed in all the accidents. My insurance (state farm) restored my vehicle all 3 times.
Are all states like this (no fault) ??
No. You got me curious though so I looked it up and it sounds like there are thirteen no fault states. These states include Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and Utah.
