Car Accidents in Michigan

Kent, MI – Car Accident blocks I-196 near Ottawa AveEvery year, hundreds of thousands of vehicle collisions occur on Michigan roadways, leaving countless individuals to deal with the devastating consequences. No one should have to suffer because of an accident caused by someone else's negligence. Seeking legal guidance from a skilled Kent car accident attorney is essential to protect your rights and secure just compensation for any injuries or damages you have endured.

In Michigan, filing a personal injury claim after a car accident requires proving that negligence was involved. This means demonstrating four key elements: that the other driver owed you a duty of care, that they breached this duty, that the breach directly caused the accident, and that you suffered injuries and damages as a result. Once these elements are established, you can seek financial compensation for your losses, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

To maximize your financial recovery, it is crucial to show that the defendant was responsible for causing the accident. Michigan operates under comparative negligence laws, which allow victims to file personal injury claims even if they were partially at fault for the crash. However, any compensation you receive will be reduced by the percentage of fault you share for the accident. This is why it is so important to have experienced legal representation, as a lawyer can help minimize your assigned fault and ensure that you receive the maximum compensation possible.
