Taylor and Wayne County Car Accident Statistics

Car accidents in Taylor, downriver, and throughout Wayne County cause hundreds of injuries every year. In fact, in 2024 there were 50,355 car accidents in Wayne County resulting in 16,458 injuries and 177 fatalities. This was a slight decrease from the number of total crashes and fatalities in 2024.

These crashes lead to costly medical expenses, lost wages and vehicle damage. Beyond the physical injuries, car accident victims suffer from non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, anxiety, and emotional distress. This makes the situation even more traumatic. Our Taylor car accident lawyers are here to help.

What Compensation Can I Get From a Taylor Car Accident?

Michigan is a no-fault state. This means you can obtain benefits from a car insurance company for injuries caused by an accident, even if you are at-fault. These benefits are also available to those injured as pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcycle riders, so long as a motor vehicle is involved in the accident.

The no-fault claims benefits available to people injured in a car or truck accident include:

• Medical Expenses – This includes hospital bills, doctor’s bills, rehabilitation costs, surgery bills, prescriptions, and out-of-pocket costs. It also includes other medical expenses that health insurance does not cover.
• Lost Wages – 85% of lost wages for up to 3 years from the date of the crash. This includes self-employed individuals and those paid under the table.
• Replacement Services – Family members or friends who complete household chores, such as laundry, cooking, and other household chores.
• Out-of-Pocket – reimbursement for co-pays, medical mileage, prescriptions, and other out-of-pocket expenses. 

Pain and Suffering for a Taylor Michigan Car Accident

If another person causes the accident, such as by running a red light or making an illegal turn, the injured person can seek compensation for pain and suffering. This is a negligence claim, also known as a third-party claim. Both the driver and the owner of the at-fault vehicle are liable for paying these “non-economic damages.” They can include:

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of society and loss of companionship
• Depression and anxiety
•  Loss of quality of life; and
• Mental suffering

The Lee Steinberg Law Firm understands the complexities of auto accident cases, the defenses insurance companies come up with, how to get Michigan no-fault benefits, and how to get the most for your pain and suffering.

Common Causes of Taylor Auto Accidents

As you can imagine, distracted driving is a very common cause of car accidents in Michigan. Some of the most common forms of negligence leading to car accident injuries include:

• Texting while driving or using a cell phone
• Speeding
• Drinking and driving or driving under the influence of drugs
• Reckless driving
• Running a red light or yellow light
• Failing to yield
• Improper lane change
• Cutting off another driver
• T-bone accidents

What is the Statute of Limitations in Michigan for a Car Accident?

It depends on the type of case. In most situations, you have 3 years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit against the proper defendants. If you wait too long, then you may forever lose your right to obtain pain and suffering compensation from the auto accident.

However, the statute of limitations for unpaid first-party benefits can be as short as one year. If the car insurance company will not pay your medical bills or lost wages, you should hire a strong Taylor car accident lawyer. They will file a lawsuit for you and protect your rights.

Deep Resources and Trial-Ready Representation

Successfully handling a serious car accident claim often requires far more than filing insurance paperwork. Insurance companies frequently invest substantial resources into limiting payouts and disputing claims. They may dispute liability, downplay the severity of injuries, or delay payments to pressure victims into accepting less than they deserve.

To effectively challenge them, accident victims need attorneys with the experience, resources, and determination to fight back. Our firm’s trial-tested strategies and in-depth understanding of insurance tactics give our clients a significant advantage in negotiations and courtrooms alike.

The Taylor car accident lawyers at Lee Steinberg Law Firm work with nationally recognized experts to build strong cases. For example, we work closely with investigators and experts to reconstruct the accident scene and identify any third parties who may share liability, such as commercial vehicle operators. We also retain economists and vocational experts to quantify lost future wages and future care needs, which is critical for clients facing lifelong disabilities.
