Car Accidents in Michigan

Dealing with the aftermath of a car accident can be overwhelming. Every year, tens of thousands of accidents in Michigan lead to serious injuries. When someone else is responsible for causing the accident, victims have the right to take legal action against them. Seeking help from a car accident attorney can make all the difference in building a strong case and proving that the other person was at fault.

To win a lawsuit based on negligence, you need to prove five important elements:

1. Duty of Care: First, you need to show that the other person had a legal duty to act carefully to avoid causing harm. This means the person should have followed traffic laws and driven responsibly to keep others safe.
2. Breach of Duty: Next, you must prove that the person did not fulfill their responsibility. This could involve them driving recklessly, ignoring traffic rules, or being careless in a way that put your safety at risk.
3. Causation in Fact: You must demonstrate that their careless actions directly led to your injuries. For instance, if they ran a red light and hit your vehicle, their actions would be the main cause of the harm you suffered.
4. Proximate Cause: This means showing that the injuries you experienced were a natural and foreseeable result of their negligence. In other words, the harm you endured was something that could reasonably be expected from their reckless behavior.
5. Damages: Finally, you need to prove that you suffered actual losses because of the accident. This could include medical bills, lost wages, or emotional pain and suffering.
