Detroit, MI (December 5, 2023) - Multiple drivers collided in a major vehicle crash in the Detroit region on Tuesday, December 5, and the incident reportedly ended in injuries, per local authorities.

At around 8:00 a.m., the suspected rear-end collision occurred on westbound Interstate 696 at Mound Road and blocked the entire right side of the highway. Upon their arrival, the Macomb County Sheriff's Office deputies discovered that the initial wreck may have led to a chain-reaction crash. Paramedics were sent to the collision scene in order to assist the injured victims. That said, no specific detail on the severity of their injuries or current conditions was provided. During the interim, the cause of the accident and related details have not been made public by the authorities, but an investigation remains active and ongoing.

Our thoughts go out to the injured victims, as well as their loved ones. We hope for their complete recovery.

Rear-End Collisions in Detroit

In the United States, there is a car accident every few seconds, as per the latest data provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Considering the depressing national and Michigan collision statistics, it should come as no surprise that the vast majority of personal injury claims that are addressed by our courts today involve automobile accidents.

Insurance companies in Michigan often don't look into who caused an accident because of "no-fault" insurance. Both non-monetary losses (such as pain and suffering) and first-party benefits (monetary damages) are recoverable in a lawsuit against the culpable party.

You should still visit a lawyer if you've been in a car accident, even if you believe your injuries are minor and the situation is straightforward. It seems reasonable that victims would be concerned about spending all of their money on legal representation, yet data indicates that plaintiffs who have strong defense counsel get larger payouts. Since most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, you won't have to worry about paying them until you get compensation.

Your attorney could act as your representative in all communications with insurers and other parties. Your attorney will investigate all of your legal options to determine who caused the accident and why you should be compensated. Obtaining relevant information and interviewing potential witnesses are two possible stages in this approach.
