A vehicle driven by Cindy Rosales of Bangor lost control on 56th Street north of 102nd Avenue in Lee Township Tuesday afternoon. Her car spun into the other lane and into the path of an oncoming pickup truck driven by a 53-year-old Allegan man. The man was minorly injured. Police say the Allegan County roadway was snow-covered at the time of the crash, which likely contributed to the crash. Rosales was not wearing a seatbelt.

What you need to know after a serious Michigan car accident

When someone has been seriously injured in a car accident, they are often faced with unexpected medical costs, lost wages and other losses. Injuries can be permanent and medical treatment may be extensive. In the days, weeks, and months following a car crash, injured people and their families often struggle to manage day-to-day life and can be overwhelmed.

After a serious or fatal collision, it is important to quickly get the information necessary to make good decisions and begin moving toward recovery. Getting appropriate medical treatment is just one aspect of healing. Getting assistance in handling the insurance claim that will begin financial recovery is another.

If the injuries are significant or if you have questions about what you should do, it is best to contact an experienced Michigan car accident attorney for a free, no-obligation consultation. Serious accidents are difficult to handle without the assistance of a lawyer who understands the process, knows how to negotiate with an insurance adjuster, and can obtain the highest possible settlement so that you can recover financially from the car accident.
