Car Accidents in Michigan

Car accidents can be incredibly difficult to deal with. Unfortunately, they often result in overwhelming pain and suffering. Far too often, victims also face significant financial burdens trying to move forward. After being harmed in an accident, victims can file a personal injury claim against the responsible party to seek compensation for their damages.

If you contributed to the accident in any way, the amount of your damages will be reduced based on your assigned percentage of negligence. For example, if you are deemed 20% responsible and awarded $10,000 in damages, you would only receive $8,000.

It is important to note that under Michigan law if you are found to be more than 50% responsible for the accident, you will not be eligible to recover any non-economic damages from the other party involved. Understanding these laws is essential when pursuing a lawsuit after a car accident in Michigan. For this reason, having a skilled legal team by your side can make all the difference.
