What to Do After a Car Accident
If you or a loved one is a pedestrian, driver or passenger that has been hurt in a car-related accident, compensation for pain and suffering may be available to you to help you manage associated medical bills. Car accident related injuries can be quite serious if they are not fatal. Victims may experience:
- Brain injuries
- Joint, bone, and muscle injuries
- Whiplash
- Burns and lacerations
- Fractures or amputations
- Head, neck or spinal cord injuries
Michigan car accident victims must file a lawsuit for injuries sustained from an automobile accident within three years of the accident. A closer evaluation of the law reveals that you must act much more quickly. Michigan law states that you must document symptoms of closed head injuries or traumatic brain injury right away or it will difficult to achieve any settlement for medical services.
Document any and all symptoms immediately after your accident. What may seem like a minor injury can get worse over time.
If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident, be sure you understand your rights in the state of Michigan. Please contact the law firm of Jay Trucks & Associates, PC at 1-800-762-8623 to schedule a free consultation today.
