Car Accidents in Michigan

Car accidents can be incredibly devastating. Unfortunately, tens of thousands of people across our state are injured as a result of vehicle collisions reported on our roadways annually. Far too often, these accidents are preventable. Reckless and negligent drivers continue to be the cause of severe injuries for other motorists nearby. We see many victims hurt in accidents due to drivers who are texting on their phones, switching lanes in a reckless manner, or tailgating other vehicles nearby.

Any type of accident has the potential to cause severe injuries to victims. Unfortunately, we often see victims left with severe trauma to the head, severe lacerations, internal organ injuries, and other injuries that require extensive medical treatment. Not only do victims face significant physical and emotional consequences following accidents, but they are often forced to endure overwhelming financial burdens as well. Many victims face tens of thousands of dollars in medical costs and vehicle repair expenses. To make matters even worse, victims are unable to work and are forced to go without an income.
