Our thoughts go out to those hurt due to this vehicle collision.
Recent statistics reveal that distracted driving accidents have steadily increased over the past five years in Michigan. Nationwide, these accidents have risen by 27%, while in Michigan, the increase has been 11%. Distracted driving refers to any activity that diverts a driver’s attention away from the road, making it dangerous to operate a vehicle safely. In 2021 alone, distracted driving contributed to 1,263 rear-end collisions. Additionally, it was estimated that 3.5% of drivers aged 21 and older engage in some form of distraction while driving.
After a car accident, it can be difficult to assess the extent of your injuries right away. Even if you feel fine immediately after the crash, adrenaline may cloud your ability to recognize pain or injury. Serious accidents are unfortunately common, and if you were hurt because of a distracted or careless driver, it is essential to seek emergency medical attention as soon as possible. Delaying treatment not only jeopardizes your health but can also affect any potential claims you make for compensation. Insurance companies may question your injuries if you do not seek immediate medical care, making it harder to receive the compensation you deserve.
