Car Accidents in Michigan

Michigan continues to report hundreds of crashes each day, with urban areas like Detroit being common locations for injury-causing collisions. Data shows that over 50,000 injury crashes occur annually in the state, with many of them taking place during nighttime hours when visibility is reduced and driver fatigue is more likely.

In the wake of an accident, it can be difficult to understand how damages are calculated. Below are some key factors that go into determining the value of a personal injury claim:

• Medical Treatment and Future Care Costs: The extent of your medical care—emergency room visits, surgeries, physical therapy, medications—is central to any claim. In more severe cases, lifelong care or rehab may factor heavily into the compensation you can receive.
• Lost Income and Earning Capacity: If your injuries prevent you from returning to work, either temporarily or permanently, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages. This also includes any loss of future earning potential due to long-term impairment.
• Severity and Type of Injury: More serious injuries, such as spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, or broken bones, usually result in higher compensation because of the long-term impact they have on a victim’s life and mobility.
• Pain and Emotional Distress: Beyond physical pain, many crash victims experience lasting emotional effects such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD. These factors are considered when calculating non-economic damages.
• Impact on Daily Life and Relationships: Injuries may prevent someone from enjoying activities they once loved or maintaining the same relationship with family or friends. This diminished quality of life plays a role in total compensation.
