Head-On Collisions in Michigan

Some of the worst types of crashes are head-on collisions. Despite making up fewer than 2% of document crashes in the United States, head-on collisions accounted for slightly over 10% of all fatal motor vehicle accidents in 2020, according to the Insurance Information Institute. An estimated 3,631 individuals every year die in head-on collisions, while tens of thousands more suffer injuries. These accidents are often caused by reckless drivers who veer into oncoming traffic. When you are hit by a reckless driver, you could suffer serious injuries. In addition to potential emotional harm from attempting to recover while fighting for compensation, it is likely that you could sustain serious physical problems that will need a lot of time and money to treat effectively. Your medical costs are likely rising, your injuries prevent you from working, and you are unsure of how to hold the person responsible for your car accident accountable. Even worse, you can struggle to get the at-fault party to pay your losses.Even if it is challenging, there are still ways to get through these obstacles. The most important thing is that you should never take on the challenge of a personal injury claim alone. You can focus your efforts and resources on your recovery while an experienced automobile accident attorney battles for you in court and with the insurance company if you have one on your side.Contact a Dowagiac car accident lawyer as soon as possible if you plan on filing a personal injury claim for damages after being hurt in a car accident.
