How Are Injury Settlements Handled for Minors in Michigan?

When a child is injured and receives a settlement, Michigan courts typically require judicial approval to ensure the money protects the child’s interests.

Common procedures include:

  • A judge reviewing and approving the settlement
  • Funds being placed in a restricted account or trust
  • Money often remaining protected until the child turns 18

Courts may also approve payments for necessary medical expenses or structured settlements that provide long-term financial protection.
