Car Accidents in Michigan

Dealing with the aftermath of an automobile accident can be incredibly difficult. Every year, tens of thousands of vehicle collisions in Michigan result in serious injuries. If you have been injured in a crash, you have the right to pursue legal action against the party responsible. Seeking guidance from a car accident lawyer can help improve your chances of proving negligence and securing the compensation you deserve.

To win a negligence lawsuit, you must prove the following five key elements:

• Duty of Care: You need to demonstrate that the defendant owed you a legal obligation to act reasonably and avoid causing harm. In the case of driving, all drivers have a duty to follow traffic laws and drive safely.
• Breach of Duty: You must show that the defendant failed to uphold this duty. This means they acted negligently or recklessly, endangering your safety, such as by speeding, driving distracted, or running a red light.
• Causation in Fact: You must prove that the defendant’s actions directly caused your injury. It must be clear that their negligence was a significant factor leading to the accident.
• Proximate Cause: You need to demonstrate that the harm you suffered was a foreseeable result of the defendant’s actions. In other words, the accident was a natural consequence of their negligence.
• Damages: Finally, you must prove that you suffered actual harm as a result of the defendant’s negligence. This includes medical bills, lost wages, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
