We require the police report, photographs of vehicle damage and the accident scene, witness contact information, and all medical records detailing your injuries and treatment. Proof of lost wages is also crucial.
Michigan has specific statutes of limitations for filing claims, which vary depending on the type of claim. It is important to contact us as soon as possible to ensure all deadlines are met.
