Car Accidents in Michigan

Across Michigan, motor vehicle accidents continue to impact thousands of lives each year. According to the Michigan State Police, intersection-related crashes account for a significant portion of statewide collisions, with many resulting in serious injury. Urban intersections like East 8 Mile and Schoenherr are particularly prone to accidents due to high traffic volume and frequent turns.

One area many victims struggle with is documenting their crash correctly. Here’s what you should know:

• Take Immediate Photos of the Scene: Photos can capture road conditions, vehicle damage, skid marks, and traffic signs. This visual evidence helps recreate the crash for investigators, insurance companies, and courts if needed.
• Get Medical Evaluations on Record: Even if injuries seem minor, getting checked by a doctor creates a paper trail. Insurance companies often require proof of injury to validate claims. Waiting too long can hurt your chances of recovering compensation.
• Keep Copies of Police Reports: Always request a copy of the official police report. This document includes officer observations, witness statements, and diagrams. It can serve as vital evidence in your claim.
• Save All Medical Bills and Repair Estimates: Keeping detailed records of your expenses supports your injury claim. Include prescriptions, therapy sessions, and any home adjustments related to your injuries.
• Document Missed Work and Lost Income: If your injuries prevent you from working, track the days missed and wages lost. This can be factored into your overall compensation.
