Car Accidents in Michigan

A car accident can profoundly impact your life, and unfortunately, there are numerous cases where individuals face harm due to vehicle crashes in Michigan. In fact, motor vehicle collisions rank among the primary causes of accidental injuries and fatalities statewide annually. Following a car crash, victims have the option to pursue a personal injury claim against the accountable party.

In Michigan's legal system, the concept of "comparative negligence" is used for personal injury claims stemming from accidents. This entails that when seeking compensation for an injury, you must prove that the other party was partially responsible for the accident. Your own level of fault significantly influences your potential compensation. If you are deemed more than 50% at fault for the accident, you are unable to seek non-economic damages like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.

Even if you bear partial responsibility, you can still recover economic damages such as lost wages and medical expenses incurred post-crash. It is vital to establish that another driver's negligence caused your accident to maximize your recovery. Collaborating with a proficient Kent car accident lawyer ensures you have compelling evidence for your case.
