Michigan Car Accidents

In the United States, car accidents are the leading cause of death and serious injury. More fatal collisions occur each year, according to statistics, and the risk of serious injury in a collision is higher than you might think. Even non-fatal accidents can result in life-altering injuries. If the victims are unable to return to work, they may be faced with large medical bills that they are unable to pay. Innocent victims may be overwhelmed by this difficult financial and emotional situation. After a serious car accident, it's critical to get the compensation you need, which is why injured parties should speak with a qualified attorney to increase their chances of a successful personal injury claim.

Speeding has been linked to one-third of all documented highway fatalities in the United States over the last two decades, and it is widely acknowledged that speeding raises the risk of a serious vehicle accident. Thousands of people are killed every year by speeding motorists, and Michigan drivers have a bad reputation for exceeding the speed limit. High-speed collisions have accounted for nearly a third of all reported traffic fatalities in the last two decades.
