What if I am a minor or an incapacitated person?

Under the Michigan court rules, a minor or legally incapacitated person must bring their personal protection action through an adult who is not disqualified by law. You do this by requesting in your petition that the Court appoint a "next friend" for you, such as a parent or legal guardian.
