If you’re involved in an accident, Michigan laws regarding motor vehicle accidents are fairly clear. Under the state’s “No Fault” law, you have the right to have claims for medical care, lost wages and rehabilitative services paid under the “First Party” No Fault law and to sue for damages under the “Third Party” No Fault law.
The Luedke Law Group handles a wide variety of motor vehicle accidents, including those where you are at fault and where you are simply a victim. Even a simple accident can cause significant injuries and thousands of dollars in damage to the vehicles. That’s why it’s important that you seek the advice of a legal team that has experience with motor vehicle accidents in Michigan.
If you are in a motor vehicle accident in Michigan, don’t let anyone decide if you are at fault, not even the police officer at the scene of the accident. Even if the officer writes you a ticket, it does not mean you lose your right to sue or to establish fault in a court of law. Often, an insurance company will try to convince you are at fault so they can make a low offer for settling your claim. You are not required to accept fault or even settle a claim without having your day in court.
If you were partially at fault, your remedies may be reduced. This is also true if you weren’t wearing a seatbelt at the time you were injured. When meeting with members of the Luedke Law Group about your Michigan motor vehicle accident, be sure you disclose all the facts as you remember them so we can make a complete assessment of your case.
