The MCCA Story

How We Began

The Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association (MCCA) was established in 1978, following Michigan's passage of its no-fault auto insurance law. The law introduced a unique system that provided unlimited lifetime medical benefits for accident victims who are catastrophically injured. 

To keep this system in place, the Michigan legislature set up the MCCA as a shared re-insurance pool. This new approach protected individual insurance companies from the financial burden of a single catastrophic claim while ensuring injured people would receive care.
