Car Accidents in Michigan

A car crash can have a devastating impact on your life. Unfortunately, motor vehicle accidents are all too common in Michigan, where they rank among the leading causes of accidental injuries and deaths each year. If you have been injured in a car crash, you have the right to file a personal injury claim against the party responsible for the accident.

In Michigan, the legal system uses a concept known as "comparative negligence" when handling personal injury claims related to accidents. This means that if you seek compensation for your injuries, you must demonstrate that the other party was at least partially at fault for causing the accident. However, the amount of compensation you can receive depends on your own level of responsibility in the crash.

If you are found to be more than 50% at fault for the accident, you will be barred from recovering non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. However, even if you are partially at fault, you can still recover economic damages, including lost wages, medical expenses, and other financial losses resulting from the crash. To maximize your recovery, it is crucial to prove that the accident was primarily caused by the negligence of the other driver. Working with a Bay City pedestrian accident lawyer can help ensure that you have the strongest possible evidence to support your case.
