Recent data indicates a concerning rise in distracted driving accidents over the past five years in Michigan. Nationally, accidents involving distracted driving increased by a staggering 27%, with Michigan itself experiencing an 11% uptick during that same period. Distracted driving encompasses any activity that diverts a driver's attention from the road and safe vehicle operation, including texting, talking on the phone, eating, or even adjusting the radio. In 2021, distracted driving was a contributing factor in a staggering 1,263 rear-end collisions across the state, and studies estimate that around 3.5% of drivers aged 21 and older admit to engaging in some form of driver distraction while behind the wheel.
Assessing the extent of your injuries immediately after a car accident can be an incredibly challenging task. Even if you feel relatively okay in the moment, the rush of adrenaline can cloud your judgment, making it difficult to accurately gauge the severity of your wounds. It’s important to remember that severe car accidents are not uncommon, and injuries can sometimes present themselves hours or days after the initial impact. If you've been injured due to a negligent driver, seeking immediate medical assistance is crucial, not only for your health but also for your legal rights. Delaying medical treatment can significantly impact your insurance claims and hinder your chances of receiving the rightful compensation you deserve for your injuries and any related damages. Prioritizing your health and getting a thorough medical evaluation can provide critical documentation that supports your case if you decide to pursue a claim.
