Motor Vehicle Crashes in Michigan

Over the past several years, there has been a consistent increase in the number of car accidents across the country and in many individual states. Sadly, though many accidents nowadays are avoidable by reducing risky behaviors, including speeding, reckless driving, and driver distraction, they continue to happen.

However, if the motorist was careless or reckless, you may file a claim and get compensation for your injuries and other losses. Victims of automobile accidents usually face both long-lasting physical pain and suffering and significant economic difficulties. Brain injuries, burns, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, internal bleeding, and other potentially deadly or permanent traumas are not uncommon, even in low-speed or seemingly minor incidents. After having their lives turned upside down, victims often suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, frustration, and confusion.

That said, Michigan’s personal injury statute can be confusing and complicated, and if you’re attempting to make ends meet following a car accident that was clearly the fault of another driver, the last thing you need is additional stress. What’s more, when victims try to negotiate with insurer adjusters on their own, these contacts will often do anything they can to avoid paying full and fair compensation.

However, if you retain the services of a seasoned attorney, you will increase your chances of being awarded the necessary compensation following an accident. Additionally, there are no out-of-pocket costs associated in the beginning when using a lawyer who works on a contingency basis. In other words, your attorney will not receive payment for his services unless and until your case is resolved favorably or you win in court. If and only if you win will you provide your attorney with a portion of the money you win in a settlement, equaling around 30-40% of the total amount secured. So, if your case is unsuccessful, you ultimately pay nothing.
