Flint, MI (September 23, 2024) – At around 6:45 p.m. on September 22, the Flint Police Department, firefighters, and emergency medical services were all requested to provide help at the scene of a motor vehicle accident in Flint.
Reports show that multiple westbound lanes of Interstate 69 were blocked due to a motor vehicle accident that occurred near South Saginaw Street. The Michigan Department of Transportation reported some delays in the area as emergency crews worked to clear the scene. Emergency medical services attended to the injured individuals on-site and subsequently transported them to hospitals in the area. The incident is currently under investigation.
We hope the injured victims are able to recover quickly.
Each year, numerous vehicle collisions occur on Michigan roads, often due to drivers engaging in reckless or careless behavior. Victims of these accidents are frequently left dealing with both physical injuries and financial burdens. No one should have to suffer because of someone else’s negligence, and seeking legal guidance from an experienced Flint car accident attorney is a critical step in protecting your rights. A knowledgeable attorney can help you pursue fair compensation for any injuries or damages you have suffered.
In Michigan, when filing a personal injury claim, it is necessary to prove that negligence was involved in the accident. This process involves showing that the driver had a responsibility to act carefully (a duty of care), that they failed in that responsibility (breached their duty), that their failure caused the accident, and that you were injured as a result. Once these elements are established, you have the right to seek financial compensation for your losses, including medical bills, lost wages, and other damages related to the crash.
It is also important to note that Michigan follows comparative negligence laws. This means that even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you can still file a personal injury claim. However, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of fault that is attributed to you. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault for the accident, any compensation you receive will be reduced by 20%. This makes it crucial to have a skilled attorney who can help minimize your share of the blame and maximize your financial recovery.
