Every year, hundreds of thousands of vehicle collisions occur on Michigan roadways. Unfortunately, many individuals suffer because of accidents caused by someone else's carelessness. If you find yourself in this situation, seeking legal help from an experienced Genesee Township car accident attorney is essential. They can protect your rights and help you receive fair compensation for any injuries or damages you have experienced.
In Michigan, when filing a personal injury claim after an accident, you must prove that negligence was involved in the crash. This means you need to show four key elements: First, that the driver had a duty of care to you, which means they were expected to drive safely and responsibly. Second, that this driver failed to uphold that duty, which is known as breaching the duty of care. Third, you need to demonstrate that this breach directly caused the accident. Lastly, you must show that you suffered injuries and damages because of the collision. Once you can prove these elements, you may be able to receive financial compensation for your losses.
To maximize your potential financial recovery, it is critical to establish that the other driver caused the accident. In Michigan, the laws surrounding comparative negligence allow accident victims to file personal injury claims even if they share some responsibility for the accident. However, it is important to note that any compensation you receive will be reduced based on the percentage of fault attributed to you in the crash. For instance, if you were found to be 20 percent at fault, your compensation would be reduced by that same percentage. This is why it is crucial to seek legal representation immediately after an accident. An attorney can help ensure you maximize your financial recovery by effectively arguing your case.
