Car Accidents in Michigan

In Michigan, there were 6% fewer accidents overall in 2018 than there were in 2022. Moreover, the number of road deaths increased by 15% throughout that time. In the state, there were 905 fatal automobile accidents in 2018 compared to 1,053 fatal accidents in 2022. This is a rise of around 16% percent, meaning that these tragic incidents appear to be worsening year over year.

What's worse, the lion's share of these accidents is caused by the negligence or carelessness of other motorists on the road. But despite that fact, all too many victims must face the hardships of mounting medical bills, painful injuries and treatments, long-term trauma, and more, even when their losses were caused by a crash that wasn't their fault.

That said, victims and their families may have legal recourse in the aftermath of an injury-causing collision. When victims and their loved ones consult an experienced attorney, they may find that they're eligible for an array of damages to cover their economic and non-economic damages.

And if your claim cannot be resolved via negotiation with an insurance company, a skilled lawyer will represent you in court. It might be challenging to establish your case on your own, even if you are positive that you are qualified to pursue a claim for compensation. For this reason, it's essential that you hire a skilled attorney to represent you at every stage of the claim process.

Insurance companies will take all reasonable measures to safeguard their own interests. These companies aim to compensate you as little as possible. A seasoned auto accident lawyer will fight to ensure that you obtain the amount to which you are due. If you were hurt in a vehicle accident, you should speak with a Michigan personal injury attorney as soon as possible. You likely feel overwhelmed by your recovery and ongoing injuries and may be unsure of the next best steps to take.
