Over the last two decades, speeding has been linked to one-third of all documented highway fatalities in the United States, and it is widely accepted that speeding increases the risk of a serious vehicle accident. Speeding motorists kill thousands of people every year, and Michigan drivers have a bad reputation for exceeding the speed limit. In the last two decades, high-speed collisions have accounted for nearly a third of all reported traffic fatalities.
Car accidents are the leading cause of death and serious injury in the United States. According to statistics, more fatal collisions occur each year, and the risk of serious injury in a collision is higher than you might think. Accidents that aren't fatal can result in life-altering injuries. If the victims are unable to return to work, they may be faced with significant medical bills that they cannot afford. This difficult financial and emotional situation may overwhelm innocent victims. It's critical to get the compensation you need after a serious car accident, which is why injured parties should speak with a qualified attorney to improve their chances of a successful personal injury claim.
Injured victims should contact a Southfield car accident lawyer as soon as possible if they believe a careless driver is to blame for their injuries. Only an experienced personal injury lawyer can assist you in filing a personal injury claim and ensuring that your case is treated fairly. This is nearly impossible to accomplish on your own. Large insurance companies will do everything they can to minimize your just compensation, but we don't want you to feel rushed.
