Auto Accidents in Michigan

Over the last five years, distracted driving accidents have become more common in Michigan.

Immediately following a car accident, it can be difficult to accurately assess the severity of your injuries. Even if you feel fine, the rush of adrenaline from the crash might cloud your judgment, making it hard to recognize how serious your injuries truly are. Serious car accidents are not uncommon, and if you have been injured due to the carelessness of another driver, it is important to seek emergency medical attention. Insurance companies tend to be skeptical if there is a delay in seeking medical care, and this could potentially complicate your ability to receive the compensation you deserve.
