In Michigan, distracted driving accidents have been on the rise over the past five years. Nationally, accidents involving distracted driving went up by 27%, while in Michigan, the increase was about 11%. Distracted driving includes any action that diverts a driver’s attention away from the road, affecting their ability to operate a vehicle safely. In 2021, distracted driving contributed to 1,263 rear-end accidents in Michigan alone. Studies also estimate that 3.5% of drivers aged 21 and older are engaging in some level of distraction while driving.
After a car accident, it can be challenging to fully assess your injuries right away. Sometimes, adrenaline can mask pain or injuries, making it difficult to recognize how severe the impact might be. Even if you feel fine initially, it is crucial to seek medical attention to ensure you haven’t suffered any hidden injuries. Delaying medical care can have negative consequences, both for your health and for any future claims you may need to make. Insurance companies often scrutinize delays in medical treatment, which can make it harder for you to obtain the compensation you are entitled to.
Taking care of yourself physically and legally after an accident is essential. Seeking legal representation from an experienced Flint car accident lawyer can help protect your rights and ensure you are on the right path toward recovery. An attorney can help you navigate complex legal steps and handle negotiations with insurance companies. With the support of a lawyer, you have a greater chance of receiving fair compensation to cover medical bills, lost wages, and other accident-related expenses, providing the resources needed to move forward confidently.
