Over the last five years, distracted driving accidents have become more common in Michigan. In fact, the number of these accidents has risen by 27% across the country and by 11% in Michigan during this period. Distracted driving refers to any activity that takes a driver's focus away from the road, making it harder to operate a vehicle safely. In 2021 alone, distracted driving was a factor in 1,263 rear-end collisions. Additionally, it is estimated that 3.5% of drivers aged 21 and older engage in some form of distracted driving while behind the wheel.
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.
