Car Accidents in Michigan

Although handling the fallout after a vehicle accident in Michigan may be aggravating and uniquely difficult, you can take a few straightforward steps to protect your legal rights.

First and foremost, all drivers in Michigan should be aware that if injuries or property damage following a vehicle collision exceed $1,000, a police report must be filed. The accident site will be fully documented in the police report, with the names and contact details of any witnesses and the names and policy numbers of relevant insurance companies.

It is critical to get medical help immediately after a crash, regardless of your injuries' apparent severity (or lack thereof). A victim's quality of life might be negatively impacted even by relatively modest injuries. Additionally, injured parties must maintain thorough records as soon as any evidence of injuries or other symptoms develops to establish that the accident caused the victim's ailments. Likewise, you should make an appointment with your doctor if you develop any new symptoms or injuries after starting treatment. Record the frequency and severity of any expenses, discomfort, and adjustments to your treatment regimen brought on by the accident.

To fully heal after an injury, remember that you must participate in physical therapy, occupational therapy, and frequent examinations with your primary care physician. Furthermore, your claim and any potential legal action depend on your participation in a proper treatment plan. Insurance adjusters in Michigan frequently contend that an accident victim who refuses medical attention or frequently reschedules appointments with their doctors was not seriously hurt and is ineligible for benefits or compensation. To ensure your rights are protected, it is vital that you seek representation from a Michigan car accident lawyer as soon as possible.
