Michigan Vehicle Accidents

Head-on collisions are some of the deadliest and most common types of accidents. A head-on crash is more likely to result in fatal injuries than most other accidents with a death rate of more than 58%. Head-on crashes are the cause of over 10% of yearly road fatalities, however, they only account for less than 2% of all reported auto accidents. Distracted or reckless drivers who swerve into oncoming traffic are the most common cause of head-on collisions. 

It is seemingly unbearable to lose a loved one. After a loved one’s untimely demise, the thought of filing a suit for wrongful death against the liable party or entity may seem overwhelming, however, it could help to ease some or all of the financial burden that may be associated with your loved one’s passing. One less thing to worry about can help you focus on your family and emotional recovery.
