Auto Accident Lawyer

I am trying to find out where I would begin to look…?

Where do I find data on traffic accidents that all happened on a certain road, during a certain season. Where is such information kept? Police department? State of Michigan somewhere? Accident reports, etc?

I want to specifically check a certain date last winter and see how many accidents happened that date (as a result of a lot of snow) on a 14 mile stretch of road I travel often.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Does my friend have a case? Michigan Car accident?

My friend just had an accident. He had a green light and the car on the other side just turned left (which is in front of my friends car) ,, therefore my friend hit the car .and was in the hospital for 2 and 1/2 days. IN the police report, the other driver was at fault… The other driver got the ticket. The thing is, even though he had MRI and was informed that it was negative, but after he got out of the hospital he is still experiencing neck, back pains and numbness on his extremities. Plus there is a possibility that the traffic light might have been defective causing the accident, causing the other driver to turn left. The light has 6 seconds only to turn from green to red, these new lights are connected to these camera sensors.. any suggestions or advice are highly appreciated.

How can a police officer have a drawing of an accident on the report without actually seeing what happened?

On my police report is a drawing of what the officer thought happened, which was what the other person involved in the accident had told him. I wasn’t given a chance to explain. How is this fair?

Background info: I was merging onto a “merge lane” (leaving a resturant driveway) on a one-way highway. The other driver crossed over 2 or 3 lanes of the highway. She was headed for the same merge lane to enter the next ‘driveway”. I understand that the cop would write me the ticket for “failure to yield”, however, in the Michigan Traffic Code, there are stipulations to this violation, including not having enough time to stop due to hazardous driving on the other parties fault, etc.

How can he draw this picture without actual evidence. It shows where the crash between our cars occured, but it did NOT show the correct directions of which are cars were headed. (And it was barely an accident- we seriouly just bumped.)

I got into a car accident, what are my responsibilities?

I was in a car accident almost four months ago. I was driving home from school and the car in front of me braked quickly and, due to the fact that it was raining, I didn’t have time to stop. I simply clipped the corner of the car, and some of the paint from my car had scraped off onto it. We called the police and it was noted that the accident was my fault. I accidentally gave the officer an expired copy of my insurance (I had the current one), but he told me not to get it and that it wasn’t a problem. I didn’t get a ticket, we exchanged information (I live in Michigan – which is no-fault), and both went home.

Now, four months later, I received a letter in the mail from a law office claiming that I need to contact my insurance company, and that my failure to provide this information to my insurer may result in a lawsuit.

I’m confused. I called my insurance company the day after this happened and informed them about the accident. My insurance agent told me that the woman I got into the accident with would call my insurance company directly, and that they would inform me if she called. So I’m confused why I’m getting a letter telling me to do her work for her? Isn’t it her responsibility to contact my insurance company, not mine?

The letter itself is riddled with grammar issues, says it contains a “traffic crash report” that wasn’t in the envelope, and lists the wrong insurance company as mine. I’m assuming they’re simply trying to scare me, as there’s a box at the bottom of the letter that I can tick and return that says “I had no insurance on the date of this accident.” So, I’m assuming they thought I didn’t have insurance. Now, I was told that day that I could contact the city police department for any questions regarding the accident, so I’m assuming she can also contact them and get my correct insurance company?

I’m wondering what my legal obligations are. I reported it to my insurance company, am I entitled to more than that? Thank you for any suggestions.
I’m looking for details from someone who is familiar with legal issues. Thanks.
