If you miss work because of injuries suffered in a Michigan car accident, you may be entitled to certain wage-loss benefits through Michigan's No-Fault system, depending on your circumstances. In some situations, additional compensation may also be available through a personal injury claim if another driver was responsible for the crash. A car accident can affect much more than your vehicle. For many people, one of the most immediate concerns after a crash is: How am I going to pay my bills if I can't work? Even relatively moderate injuries can force someone to miss days, weeks, or even months of work. More serious...

Yes, social media can potentially affect a Michigan personal injury claim. Insurance companies and defense attorneys may review publicly available posts, photographs, videos, comments, and other online content when evaluating injuries, physical limitations, and damages. Even posts that seem unrelated to the accident may sometimes be taken out of context and used during settlement negotiations or litigation. After an accident, many people focus on medical treatment, insurance claims, and vehicle repairs. What they often do not realize is that something as simple as a social media post may eventually become relevant to their personal injury claim. Photos, videos, comments, check-ins, and public...

What Happens If the Police Report Is Wrong After a Michigan Car Accident?

Posted by Delaney Morgenstern

Person reviewing accident report documents near damaged vehicles following a motor vehicle collision.

If a police report contains inaccurate information, it does not automatically decide who was at fault or whether compensation is available. Insurance companies and courts typically consider many forms of evidence, including photographs, witness statements, video footage, vehicle damage, medical records, and other documentation. Depending on the circumstances, it may also be possible to request a correction or supplement to the report. After a car accident in Michigan, many people assume the police report will accurately capture exactly what happened. Often, it does. However, police officers frequently arrive after the collision has occurred and must rely on statements, observations, available evidence, and information...

Discovery is the formal process through which both sides in a lawsuit exchange information, documents, evidence, and testimony before trial. In a Michigan personal injury case, discovery may include written questions, requests for records, depositions, medical information, expert witness disclosures, and other evidence that helps the parties evaluate the case and prepare for trial. Most personal injury lawsuits involve much more than simply filing paperwork and waiting for a trial date. After a lawsuit begins, both sides typically spend months gathering information, exchanging evidence, and learning more about the claims and defenses involved in the case. This stage of litigation is known...

A deposition is a formal question-and-answer session that takes place before trial. The person being questioned answers under oath while a court reporter creates an official transcript. In a Michigan car accident case, depositions often focus on how the crash occurred, the injuries involved, medical treatment, employment history, and how the injuries have affected daily life. If a Michigan car accident claim proceeds into litigation, there is a good chance that one or more people will be asked to participate in a deposition. For many injury victims, the word "deposition" can sound intimidating. People often imagine a dramatic courtroom scene or aggressive...

Yes, under certain circumstances, a Michigan college or university may be held legally responsible for a sexual assault.

Sexual assault on a college or university campus can have devastating physical, emotional, educational, and financial consequences for survivors. When an assault occurs in a campus setting, many people immediately focus on whether the person responsible will face criminal charges. However, survivors...

Yes, it may be possible to recover compensation for chronic pain after a Michigan accident. Chronic pain can be a significant component of a personal injury claim, particularly when medical records, treatment history, and other evidence demonstrate that the pain resulted from the accident and continues to affect daily life, employment, or normal activities. Not every injury heals within a few weeks or months after an accident. For some people, the pain continues long after the initial injury has supposedly healed. What began as a neck injury, back injury, shoulder injury, or other trauma may develop into ongoing discomfort that affects work,...

Michigan bicyclists generally have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers of motor vehicles when operating on public roadways. Drivers must safely share the road with cyclists, while bicyclists must obey traffic laws, ride predictably, and follow applicable roadway rules. Understanding these responsibilities can help reduce collisions and improve safety for everyone. Michigan roads are shared by many different types of travelers, including drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians, and motorcyclists. Unfortunately, many crashes involving bicycles occur because one or more people misunderstand their rights and responsibilities on the road. Drivers often assume bicycles must stay on sidewalks. Cyclists may believe they have unrestricted access...
