Michigan
Drunk Driving Accident
Lawyer

When you are faced with injuries and other losses from the reckless behavior of a drunk driver, you need the right Michigan drunk driving accident attorney by your side to help you. Drunk driving accidents are specifically heinous because they occur when a driver makes the decision to put others at risk by getting behind the wheel.

Some of the most common drunk driving accidents attorneys fight include:

• Head-on collisions: Drunk drivers that strike another vehicle head-on are some of the most dangerous.
• Intersection accidents: When a drunk driver cannot make a turn safely, this can lead to injuries for all involved.
• Crossing the center median: In some situations, drunk drivers are prone to falling asleep, which causes them to drift into other lanes, including across the center lane.
• Rear-end accidents: There are many situations where a drunk driver may rear-end the other.
• Pedestrians and bike riders can also be at risk: Some people are struck by drunk drivers as they are walking down the street, on bicycles, or otherwise going about their day.

Drunk driving accidents are particularly troublesome because of the significant damage they can cause. These drivers are not paying attention, and even more worrisome is that they often travel at high rates of speed. Some of the most common injuries clients suffer include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Broken and shattered bones
• Lacerations
• Internal organ injury
• Complicated disfigurement, including amputation
• Paralysis from spinal cord damage

In these situations, an attorney recognizes the short-term and long-term medical implications and how they often impact a person’s quality of life. They then fight hard to recover the losses for victims.
