Michigan is a “no fault” state when it comes to auto accidents, so each party in an accident files a claim with their own insurance company. Personal injury lawsuits are often disputes between the injured person and their own insurance company. In another example of personal injury, you may have been bitten by a dog. The dog owner or their attorney may try to make you feel you were at fault when you actually were not. Or if you were injured by a faulty product, you may be able to sue. All that said, if you intentionally harm yourself, you cannot sue yourself for damages.
