Is your car insurance company be on the list?  Choosing a carrier who provides post-accident support is just as important as rates.  Review which companies use delay and deny tactics and your legal rights when dealing with an insurance carrier.

Grand Traverse County Crash Statistics and Accident Resources

Traveling along the main highways may lead you to believe most car accidents take place on these types of roads.  Yet more than half of Grand Traverse County’s traffic accidents occurred on local streets in 2007.   We’ve also provided a list of area resources including police, fire, and courts to assist residents with any accident issues.

According to the Michigan Department of Community Health, three out of five accidental deaths for teenagers and young adults (ages 15-24) are due to motor vehicle crashes.  Protect yourself and your family by visiting the Car Accident Resource Center to learn more about what to do before and after an automobile accident.

Traverse City Attorney Truck Accident Resource Center

Michigan has the fifth highest number of truck accident injuries and fatalities, with more than 5,000 truck accidents causing serious personal injury each year.  The Truck Accident Resource Center provides key information for victims, including significant differences that separate truck accidents from other types of auto negligence cases.

Traverse City Attorney Motorcycle Accident Resource Center

A motorcyclist is three times more likely to be injured in a motorcycle accident than someone who is driving a car. The Grand Traverse Motorcycle Accident Resource Center explains how Michigan laws apply to someone in a motorcycle accident.

Protect Yourself from Uninsured Motorists

There is evidence that the economic downturn resulted in thousands of drivers dropping their insurance in 2008 as the unemployment rate climbed.  With one in six drivers across the U.S. that may be driving uninsured by 2010, Grand Traverse area drivers have options to protect themselves in a car accident.
