A motor vehicle accident can have devastating consequences. Regrettably, in Michigan alone, more than 50,000 people are hospitalized annually due to injuries sustained in crashes. Many of these incidents could have been prevented. We often see individuals severely injured by drivers who are impaired by alcohol, under the influence of drugs, distracted, or otherwise negligent. Such reckless behavior behind the wheel can lead to catastrophic outcomes for other road users. It's far too common for victims of car crashes to endure long-lasting severe injuries that impact their lives indefinitely.
Victims frequently face extensive medical treatments lasting weeks or even months. In more severe cases, individuals are left permanently disabled, unable to work and continue their normal lives. Unfortunately, many people are uncertain about the steps to take following their accidents.
