serious car accident is a traumatic experience. Nobody wants to imagine being involved in a car accident.
The danger is clear. In 2004, motor vehicle crashes killed 4,600 pedestrians in the United States. Another 68,000 pedestrians were injured in that year alone.
In a car accident, the pedestrian rarely has a chance to escape injury, because the motor vehicle is big, heavy, and usually moving too fast.
Thus, the results of pedestrian-car accidents can be devastating to the victims and their families.
If a victim survives, he or she may lose substantial income from work or time from school. The injured pedestrian may have to cope with severe injuries, major surgery, extensive rehabilitation, or even lasting disability.
In short, a serious car accident can change the victim’s life -- temporarily -- or permanently.
If you or a family member is a pedestrian involved in a Michigan car accident, you need to protect your legal rights. Consult an experienced Michigan car accident attorney, before you talk with the auto insurance company of the person at fault. If you sign the wrong papers, you may give up all your legal claims for payment of medical bills and lost income, as well as compensation for pain and suffering.
After car accidents, injured pedestrians and their families tend to focus on their physical, emotional, or financial challenges. Nevertheless, the time that Michigan law allows an adult -- or a child -- to act to preserve legal rights starts to run from the day of the car accident.
If you or a loved one was seriously injured in a Michigan car accident, contact an experienced car accident lawyer immediately. Please submit a simple, free and confidential legal consultation form about your car accident claim now.
