Everyone driving a Michigan road has a duty: they must use "reasonable care under the circumstances" as they operate their vehicle, be it a car, a pickup truck, a big rig, or a motorcycle. A driver that fails to do this is negligent, and if his or her failure causes an accident, then he or she is responsible for all of the damages to persons and property.
The injured party may have to file a claim or a lawsuit to enforce this legal responsibility. However unfair as it may seem, the injured party has to prove that the defendant was legally negligent and that this was the cause of the accident that caused his or her injuries. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost earnings, and physical pain and suffering.
If you have been involved in an automobile accident, then it is important to get legal advice. You cannot depend upon the negligent driver to do the right thing.
