Detroit, MI (September 8, 2023) – On Friday night, September 8, several vehicles collided on Michigan State Route 53, prompting the Detroit Police Department to get an accident alert and a report of injuries.
According to the DPD and the Michigan DOT, the collision took place in the southbound lanes of the highway at around 6:30 p.m. The rollover incident that prompted the activation of emergency services slowed down multiple lanes of traffic and, according to early investigations, included two drivers and a few passengers.
Shortly after, paramedics came, but we still don’t know anything about the victims’ conditions.
In the meantime, police are continuing their investigation and will provide more details as they become available.
The wounded and their families are in our thoughts.
Managing the Aftermath of a Crash in Michigan
The national and statewide rates of automobile accidents continue to climb. Speeding, irresponsible driving, and driver distraction are three of the leading causes of accidents today, but thankfully, most of these instances may be avoided.
But if a driver’s carelessness or negligence caused your injuries, you may be able to file a claim and recover damages to cover your medical bills, lost wages, and other losses. Auto accident victims may face long-term physical pain and suffering, in addition to financial hardships. Even in low-speed or apparently minor incidents, severe injuries such as brain injuries, burns, spinal cord injuries, shattered bones, internal bleeding, and other potentially deadly wounds are all too prevalent. Victims also have to deal with post-traumatic stress disorder, worry, frustration, and uncertainty after having their lives turned upside down by an accident.
However, if you’re trying to make ends meet after a vehicle accident that was obviously the fault of another motorist, Michigan’s personal injury legislation might be difficult to understand and apply. Insurer adjusters will use every opportunity to avoid paying victims fair and complete compensation when they bargain with victims who an attorney does not represent.
However, employing a skilled attorney might increase your chances of winning a fair settlement following an accident. What’s more, when you engage a lawyer on contingency, you won’t ever have to worry about paying any upfront costs. Only if your attorney successfully negotiates a settlement or wins your case in court will they get payment. Clients often agree to pay attorneys a percentage (typically 30%-40%) of any settlement funds. Furthermore, you will not be responsible for any legal costs if your claim is rejected.
