Car Accidents in Michigan

Each year, Michigan sees tens of thousands of injury crashes, many of them happening in densely populated cities like Detroit. Intersections are often hotspots for collisions due to heavy traffic, quick signal changes, and turning vehicles. In 2023, Michigan recorded over 50,000 crashes involving injury—many of which occurred in urban settings similar to this one.

When an accident occurs, many people are unsure what kind of damages they may be able to recover. Here are some of the most common types of compensation available in vehicle accident claims:

• Medical Expenses: This includes the cost of emergency treatment, hospitalization, surgery, physical therapy, medications, and follow-up appointments. Victims can seek reimbursement for past, current, and future medical care directly related to the crash.
• Lost Wages: If your injuries prevent you from working, you may be entitled to compensation for lost income. This also applies to future earnings if your ability to work has been permanently affected or diminished due to long-term injury.
• Pain and Suffering: These damages account for the emotional distress, physical discomfort, and life disruption caused by the crash. While harder to quantify, pain and suffering compensation can be significant in serious injury cases.
• Property Damage: Compensation may be awarded for repairs or the total replacement of your vehicle, as well as for any damaged belongings inside the car. This helps restore what was physically lost due to the crash.
• Loss of Enjoyment of Life: When injuries prevent someone from engaging in hobbies, social events, or daily routines, they may qualify for damages tied to the loss of life’s pleasures. This type of compensation helps address the more personal impact of the crash.
