Car Accidents in Michigan

A car accident can dramatically affect every part of your life, especially if you are dealing with serious injuries. In Michigan, thousands of people experience harm from vehicle crashes each year. Car accidents are among the top causes of accidental injuries and fatalities across the state, which makes seeking justice and fair compensation all the more important. If you have been injured in a car crash, you have the right to file a personal injury claim against the person responsible for the accident.

Michigan law applies a concept known as “comparative negligence” in personal injury cases, which means that each party’s level of responsibility is considered when determining compensation. To pursue a claim, you must show that the other party was at least partly at fault for causing the accident. However, it’s also essential to understand how your own level of fault affects your claim.

If you are found to be more than 50% responsible for the accident, you will not be eligible for non-economic damages. These damages cover things like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and the loss of enjoyment in life, which can be significant in serious injury cases. However, even if you bear some level of responsibility below this threshold, you can still recover economic damages. These damages include medical expenses, lost wages, and any additional costs you face as a direct result of the accident.

Navigating the process of proving fault and calculating damages can be complicated. Having strong evidence and a clear presentation of your case is essential to maximizing your compensation. This is where a Kent car accident lawyer can make a significant difference. A skilled attorney can help you gather evidence, such as accident reports, witness statements, and medical records, to demonstrate the other driver’s negligence and strengthen your claim.
