Car Crashes in Michigan

While the overall number of car accidents in Michigan decreased by 6 percent over the past five years, the number of traffic fatalities rose by 15 percent during that time. The number of fatal car accidents in Michigan increased by 16.3 percent from 905 in 2018 to 1,053 in 2022. These trends are also seen in the rise in pedestrian, bicycle, and motorcycle fatalities and in the number of fatalities related to crashes involving intoxicated or drugged drivers.It takes more than just filling out some paperwork and waiting for a check to arrive to collect a settlement. Some accident victims have to work to prove liability before they can be properly compensated. You have to show that the at-fault party directly contributed to the accident and your injuries somehow. Although Michigan requires no-fault auto insurance, crash victims can still pursue a claim for damages.Comparative fault is also recognized in the state. Under this model, the victim's compensation will be reduced directly in relation to the degree of their fault. For instance, a victim who is 40 percent at fault will only be compensated 60 percent of their awarded compensation. They are not entitled to recover non-economic damages for things like pain and suffering if the victim is more at fault than the defendants.Christopher Trainor & Associates has a proven track record of helping Michigan residents all around the state to make a full recovery after a car accident.
