Speeding increases the chance of collisions and the potential for suffering severe or catastrophic injuries, so it makes sense that speeding was a contributing factor in 8,544 fatal auto accidents in the state that year. Speeding drivers, who are liable for any damages arising from a serious car collision, account for about 29% of all fatal car accidents in Michigan.Get legal assistance as soon as possible after an automobile accident and work with a lawyer to start planning how you will pursue a claim for compensation.
