Accident Reconstruction Lawyer

Experiencing a car accident is never a part of your daily plans. Yet, according to Michigan State Police, there were 314,377 car accidents in 2019. Traffic crashes usually result in multiple injuries for victims. 

Unfortunately, reports from Michigan State Police or local police sometimes aren’t sufficient enough to prove the at-fault driver who is liable for compensation. Often, proving liability can be a difficult process.

This is where the lawyers at Mike Morse Law Firm can help. If you or your loved one has been involved in a car accident that involved multiple vehicles, or you are unsure who is liable, call 855-MIKE-WINS as soon as you can. Our firm, as Michigan’s largest personal injury law firm, has the resources needed to assist with accident reconstruction and get you the compensation you deserve. We are.

What is Accident Reconstruction?

Accident reconstruction involves a scientific process of investigating the crash, collecting data, analyzing the facts, and drawing conclusions. The purpose of accident reconstruction is to understand the causes and results of an accident. The findings can be used to show who is liable for the accident and thus responsible for compensation. 

The lawyers at Mike Morse Law Firm work with experts to ascertain certain facts of how a collision occurred. Facts such as how fast the vehicle was traveling, relative vehicle positions, the exact point of impact, or even if the cause was a faulty auto part. 

Your lawyer, with the assistance of accident reconstruction specialists, will collect data using various methods. Some of these may include: 

• Examining the damage of the vehicle(s)
• Examining any skid marks, or debris from the crash 
• Checking the weather and road conditions at the time of the accident
• Examining the angles of the vehicles involved in the crash
• Reviewing vehicle inspection reports
• Analyzing medical reports of physical injuries sustained
• Reviewing video footage, if any was captured
• Analyzing photos taken from the accident scene
• Reviewing Michigan State Police or local police reports
• Reviewing traffic reports
• Interviewing witnesses

When is Accident Reconstruction Needed?

Accident reconstruction is not always necessary to determine how the collision occurred or who is the negligent driver liable for damages. There are, however, certain instances where an accident is more complex and reconstruction is absolutely vital to acquire necessary evidence. 

Reconstruction is imperative when:

• The vehicle has been totaled
• The victims suffer memory loss
• There are no witnesses to the accident
• There are conflicting recollections of the accident
• A death has occurred

Accident reconstruction requires knowledge of physics, mathematics, topography, as well as computer skills. This repertoire is essential for accident reconstruction experts because, once the scientific details of the accident are gathered, they will often recreate the accident using computer programs. 

As the details regarding the accident become clearer from the results, your attorneys can use these facts to strengthen your claim for fair compensation from all responsible parties. They will know how to word their findings in a way to make it clear for insurance companies to understand.

If your lawyer must argue your case in court, then the details obtained from accident reconstruction are especially important. When necessary, your attorney can use these experts to highlight crucial details before the court to show that the other party’s recollection of the accident is incorrect. 

All of the above highlights why it is so important for you to work with the experienced personal injury lawyers of Mike Morse Law Firm. Our lawyers know the experts needed to help with your claim, and our firm has the resources to gather, examine, and use the evidence necessary to get you fair compensation for your injuries and losses.

Compensation You May Be Legally Entitled to Receive for Damages 

It only makes sense for victims to be compensated for damages and losses by the negligent driver or his or her insurance. Using the details acquired from accident reconstruction experts, your personal injury lawyer will make sure that you receive a fair settlement. Even if this means filing a lawsuit to receive compensation beyond what an insurance company might cover. 

Compensation may include economic and non-economic damages, such as:

• Present and long-term expenses for medical treatment
• Present and long-term lost wages
• Household renovation for disability
• Property damage 
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Compensation for wrongful death

There are far too many sad consequences of car accidents, including untimely death. In fact, in 2019, there were 902 fatal car accidents in Michigan. In the case of a fatality, the assistance of a reconstruction accident attorney may be especially imperative. If you have suffered a devastating loss, let our attorneys put their decades of experience to fight for your rights.

How Our Accident Reconstruction Lawyers Can Help With Your Claim

When you are suffering from a car accident or the loss of a loved one, the last thing you want to stress over is trying to prove to an insurance company that you were the victim and are entitled to compensation. This may be tricky, though, if it is not entirely clear who is the at-fault driver. If you handle your claim on your own, you might feel pressured to settle for a low amount of compensation or feel forced to pay your own recovery expenses.

Thus, you should speak with a personal injury lawyer at Mike Morse Law Firm before speaking to an insurance adjuster. You need assistance to gather all the facts and negotiate with insurance companies to get a fair settlement. 

Further, a potential third party may share liability, such as the manufacturer of an auto part. Our accident reconstruction attorneys know how to gather the evidence needed to make sure that you are fully compensated for your loss. 

You have the legal right to be fully compensated for damages, but having a lawyer on your side can really make all the difference. Speak with a Michigan accident reconstruction attorney today! Call 855-MIKE-WINS to schedule your free consultation with one of our experienced attorneys.
