Car Accidents in Michigan

Car crashes occur far too often in Michigan. Each year, these accidents are the cause of tens of thousands of injuries statewide. We see many people hospitalized with trauma to the head, internal organ injuries, and even broken bones. After being hurt in a car crash, you can take legal action against the responsible party. To be able to prevail, you must be able to demonstrate negligence. Common acts of negligence that lead to accidents in our state include:

• Running Red Lights: When drivers fail to stop at intersections, they can crash into other vehicles and cause severe harm. Unfortunately, there are many instances where people are harmed in intersections due to drivers engaging in this negligence act.
• Inadequate Vehicle Maintenance: Failing to maintain and service a vehicle properly can lead to mechanical problems that could contribute to accidents.
• Driver Inexperience: New or inexperienced drivers may not have the skills and experience needed to navigate the roadway safely and effectively. This increases the risk of motor vehicle accidents occurring.

If you have been hurt as a result of a car crash that was preventable and caused by the careless actions of another driver, you may be able to recover compensation for your losses and damages. It is imperative to seek representation from a Michigan car accident lawyer as soon as possible.
