Car Accidents in Michigan

With its large population and mix of urban and suburban roads, Michigan regularly experiences a high volume of car accidents. Recent statewide statistics show more than 280,000 traffic collisions in a single year. Detroit, in particular, is a hotspot for injury-causing crashes due to its dense traffic and fast-moving corridors.

One important element many people overlook after an accident is the documentation process. Here are a few critical records to gather after a crash:

• Police Reports: A formal report from responding officers serves as the foundation of most insurance claims. It provides an objective account of the accident and can include statements from witnesses.
• Medical Records: It’s essential to document every hospital visit, test, and treatment related to the crash. These records demonstrate the severity of injuries and support claims for compensation.
• Vehicle Damage Estimates: Having a detailed assessment from a licensed repair facility helps clarify repair costs. This supports fair reimbursement or replacement if the vehicle is totaled.
• Photographic Evidence: Images of the scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries help illustrate the impact of the crash. These can be powerful in both insurance negotiations and legal proceedings.
• Witness Statements: If anyone saw the crash happen, their account can help verify your version of events and may influence how liability is assigned.
• Correspondence with Insurers: Keep records of every conversation, email, and letter exchanged with your insurance provider or the other driver’s insurer.
