After an accident, fault is not always entirely one-sided. A driver may have been speeding when another vehicle turned in front of them. A customer injured in a fall may have been looking at a phone when encountering a dangerous condition. An insurance company may argue that an injured person could have done something differently…
Being injured in a car accident is stressful enough.

After a Michigan car accident, you may assume that proving another driver caused your injuries is enough to recover compensation for pain and suffering.

In many auto accident cases, an injured person must show a serious impairment of body function before pursuing noneconomic damages against an…
