Car Accidents in Michigan

Dealing with the aftermath of a car accident can be incredibly daunting. Unfortunately, Michigan sees tens of thousands of vehicle collisions resulting in serious injuries reported statewide each year. If you've been in such an accident, you have the right to pursue legal claims against those responsible. Seeking guidance from a car accident lawyer is crucial to increase your chances of proving negligence.

To succeed in your negligence lawsuit, you must establish five key elements:

• Duty of Care: You must show that the defendant had a legal obligation to act reasonably and avoid causing harm to others.
• Breach of Duty: It must be proven that the defendant failed to uphold their duty of care, acting negligently or recklessly, thus endangering your safety.
• Causation in Fact: You need to demonstrate that the defendant's negligence directly caused your injury.
• Proximate Cause: It must be shown that the consequences of the defendant's actions were foreseeable and a natural result of their negligence.
• Damages: You must prove that you suffered actual harm and losses due to the defendant's negligence, which can include medical bills, lost wages, and non-economic damages.
