Car Accidents in Michigan

Each year, hundreds of thousands of vehicle accidents occur on roads across Michigan. No one should have to endure the hardships of an accident caused by another person’s carelessness. If you find yourself in such a situation, getting guidance from an experienced Flint car accident attorney can be critical. A skilled lawyer can help you protect your rights and pursue fair compensation for the injuries or damages you have suffered.

In Michigan, filing a personal injury claim requires proving that negligence played a role in the accident. This means showing four key elements:

1. The driver owed you a duty of care.
2. The driver breached that duty.
3. The breach of duty led to the accident.
4. You suffered injuries and damages because of the crash.

If you can establish these elements, you may be eligible to recover financial compensation to cover your losses, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and more.

To maximize your financial recovery, it is crucial to prove that the other party’s actions were responsible for causing the accident. Under Michigan's comparative negligence laws, victims can still pursue compensation even if they share some of the blame for the accident. However, the amount of compensation will be adjusted to reflect the percentage of fault assigned to you. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault, your total compensation would be reduced by that percentage. This is why it is essential to seek legal representation as soon as possible. An attorney can help you gather evidence, build a strong case, and work to minimize your share of fault to maximize your recovery.
