On Hand

Collision Course Pt. 1: The Konstantinov Story


Listen Later

This is Collision Course, a special three-part series about the changing of Michigan’s no-fault auto insurance law and how it’s upending the lives of thousands of people, including one hockey legend.

Vladimir Konstantinov was a ferocious hockey defenseman with a Stanley Cup under his belt and a bright future in the NHL. Then, a horrible car crash changed his life forever and left him with a traumatic brain injury. For nearly 25 years, the extensive care he needs to live a decent life has been covered by Michigan's no-fault auto insurance. But soon, that care could disappear. Read the article here.
