Car Accidents in Michigan

Each year, tens of thousands of vehicle collisions occur in Michigan, leaving many with serious injuries and the need for legal recourse. Victims of these accidents have the right to pursue claims against the responsible parties, and seeking assistance from a car accident lawyer is crucial for a successful outcome.

In order to prevail in a negligence lawsuit, there are five key elements that must be proven:

Duty of Care: It must be shown that the defendant had a legal obligation to behave in a manner that would prevent harm to others.
Breach of Duty: It is essential to demonstrate that the defendant did not fulfill their duty of care, acting in a way that was negligent or reckless and thus endangering your safety.
Causation in Fact: The connection between the defendant's negligence and your injury must be clearly established, indicating that their actions were a direct cause.
Proximate Cause: You must prove that the injuries you sustained were a foreseeable result of the defendant’s negligence.
Damages: There needs to be clear evidence of the harm and losses experienced as a result of the defendant's negligence. This includes medical expenses, loss of income, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering.
