I am no expert but I beg to differ unless I misunderstood you. I define bodily injury as happening to a person as in medical, property to something outside the car and comprehensive/collision as the actual car.

No Fault in MI means your insurance company pays for damage to your car (as in collision), regardless of who is at fault. If you are sitting on the side of the road and someone slams into you, your insurance pays for your car. You pay a deductable unless you purchase the broad form coverage which then takes car of your deductable AS LONG AS you are less than 50% at fault.

Although I was never involved in an accident in FL, another no fault state, I'm, pretty sure the same thing applies there as well.
