Car accidents in Michigan

Dealing with the aftermath of a car accident can be incredibly difficult. Every year in Michigan, tens of thousands of vehicle accidents result in serious injuries. If you have been injured in an accident, you have the right to take legal action against the person who caused it. Seeking advice from a car accident lawyer can improve your chances of proving negligence and getting the compensation you deserve.

To win a negligence lawsuit, you must prove the following five key elements:

• Duty of care: You must prove that the defendant owes you a legal obligation to act reasonably and avoid harm. When driving a car, all drivers are obliged to obey traffic rules and drive safely.
• Breach of duty: You must prove that the defendant failed to comply with this obligation. This means that they acted negligently or recklessly and endangered your safety, for example by speeding, distracted driving or running a red light.
• Actual cause: You must prove that the defendant’s actions directly caused your injury. It must be understood that their negligence was a significant factor in the accident.
• Proximate cause: You must prove that the harm you suffered was a foreseeable result of the defendant’s actions. In other words, the accident was a natural consequence of their negligence.
• Damage: Finally, you must prove that you actually suffered damages as a result of the defendant’s negligence. These include medical bills, lost wages and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering.
