Car Accidents in Michigan

Every year, Michigan sees a high number of vehicle accidents across urban and rural areas alike. In 2023, the state recorded over 293,000 traffic incidents, with more than 70,000 injuries resulting from these collisions. With weather fluctuations, heavy traffic, and distracted drivers, Michigan roads present many challenges for motorists.

It’s important to understand what steps to take after a crash occurs. Below are key actions accident victims should consider immediately after a collision:

• Seek Medical Attention Right Away: Even if injuries seem minor at first, it's essential to be evaluated by medical professionals. Some injuries, like concussions or soft tissue damage, may not appear until hours or days later. Prompt treatment also helps document your injuries for any future legal or insurance needs.
• Call Law Enforcement: Having police on the scene ensures there is an official report of the crash. This documentation may include photographs, witness statements, and the officer’s assessment, all of which can be critical when pursuing compensation or filing an insurance claim.
• Exchange Information with the Other Driver: Be sure to get names, contact details, driver’s license numbers, and insurance information. Avoid discussing fault or speculating on the cause of the accident at the scene. Keep communication minimal and factual.
• Take Photos or Video of the Scene: Visual evidence of damage, weather conditions, road markings, and injuries can be incredibly helpful. If you're able, use your phone to document everything as soon as possible, before vehicles are moved or towed.
• Avoid Posting on Social Media: After an accident, anything you post can be used against you later in legal or insurance matters. Refrain from sharing details online and consult with a legal professional before making public comments.

If you were involved in a crash, contacting a Thetford Township car accident attorney as soon as possible is vital. An attorney can guide you through the legal steps to help ensure you aren’t taken advantage of by insurers or left paying for damages you didn’t cause. Having an advocate on your side can make a meaningful difference in the outcome of your case.
