Car Accidents in Michigan

Unfortunately, hit-and-run crashes are a growing problem across Michigan. The Michigan State Police reported thousands of such incidents in recent years, many resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. Victims of these collisions often face greater challenges when seeking justice and compensation.

For this story, let’s explore why hit-and-run accidents can be so devastating and what makes them different from other types of collisions:

• Delayed Medical Attention: If no one is around to witness the crash or call for help, victims may not receive medical care quickly, which can worsen outcomes.
• Lack of Accountability: The fleeing driver avoids responsibility, leaving victims to deal with the aftermath alone until they are identified.
• Limited Insurance Coverage: Without an identified driver, victims often have to rely on their own insurance policies, such as uninsured motorist coverage, which may not be enough.
• Emotional Distress: The added frustration of not knowing who caused the crash can lead to anger, anxiety, and difficulty moving forward emotionally.
• Legal Complexity: These cases require additional investigation and coordination with law enforcement, making the claims process more involved and time-consuming.
• Difficulty Gathering Evidence: Key evidence can disappear quickly in a hit-and-run, including vehicle descriptions, eyewitnesses, and surveillance footage.
