Car Accidents in Michigan

Each year, Michigan sees thousands of accidents that leave drivers and passengers injured. In 2022 alone, over 70,000 injury crashes were reported across the state. Intersections like South Center Road and Lippincott Boulevard are particularly prone to these incidents due to the high volume of traffic and crossing lanes.

In the wake of a serious crash, it helps to understand how a car accident can impact victims financially. Below are several of the most common financial burdens faced by crash victims:

• Medical Costs: Even minor injuries can lead to expensive bills, including ER visits, surgeries, prescription medications, physical therapy, and follow-up care. These costs can stack up quickly and place a strain on victims and their families.
• Lost Income: Many crash victims are unable to work while recovering. This loss of income can make it difficult to keep up with everyday expenses, especially when combined with medical bills. In more severe cases, long-term earning ability may be affected.
• Vehicle Repair or Replacement: Damage to your car may range from cosmetic issues to total loss. Insurance may not always cover the full cost, especially if your policy has limitations. Victims often have to cover rental vehicles or rideshare alternatives while they wait for repairs.
• Long-Term Care Needs: Serious injuries such as spinal damage or traumatic brain injuries may require long-term care. This includes in-home assistance, rehabilitation, and assistive equipment, which come with additional costs over time.
• Legal Fees and Claim Expenses: Pursuing compensation may involve court fees, expert evaluations, or accident reconstruction specialists. Many attorneys work on contingency, but it’s important to know the potential costs involved in seeking justice.
