Michigan Speeding-Related Crashes

It is well known that speeding increases the risk of being injured in a car accident. Michigan lawmakers passed a new law in 2017 to allow 75-mile-per-hour speed limits on more than 600 miles of rural roadways. Recent statistics show that this legislation caused an increase of nearly 17 percent in the rate of car accidents, from an average of 3,624 per year in the three years prior to the amendment to an average of 4,241 in 2018 and 2019.By bringing a personal injury case against the negligent driver, automobile crash victims are entitled to financial compensation for their pain and suffering, emotional suffering, disability, and scarring as a result of the collision.
