Auto Accidents in Michigan

In Michigan, distracted driving accidents have been on the rise over the past five years.

After a car accident, it can be challenging to fully assess your injuries right away. Sometimes, adrenaline can mask pain or injuries, making it difficult to recognize how severe the impact might be. Even if you feel fine initially, it is crucial to seek medical attention to ensure you haven’t suffered any hidden injuries. Delaying medical care can have negative consequences, both for your health and for any future claims you may need to make. Insurance companies often scrutinize delays in medical treatment, which can make it harder for you to obtain the compensation you are entitled to.
