Vassar Twp, MI - Passenger Killed in Auto Accident at M-15 & Swaffer Rd

Driving is extremely dangerous, and tens of thousands of people are killed in car accidents every year in the United States. In Michigan, 889 people were killed in 834 collisions in 2011. Nearly half of those killed in car accidents in the state were wearing seatbelts at the time of impact. In 2019, 985 people were killed and nearly 75,000 were injured in Michigan traffic accidents.

It’s nearly impossible to bear the pain and anguish of losing a loved one as a result of someone else’s carelessness. For those close to the victim, it can have unintended consequences. Family members who survive the accident are frequently the ones who bear the brunt of the accident’s consequences. They may be able to recover lost compensation by filing a wrongful death claim with the help of an experienced Vassar Township wrongful death attorney. A wrongful death claim seeks compensation from those responsible for the deceased’s death by holding the at-fault party accountable for their role in a fatal accident.
