If you are involved in a hit and run accident, the experience can be terrifying and traumatic. A hit and run accident occurs when a driver causes a collision and then flees the scene without providing their identity, contact information, or any form of assistance to the victims. In Michigan, as in many other states, hit and run accidents are unfortunately not uncommon, leaving victims with both physical and emotional consequences. However, Michigan law exists to protect the rights of hit and run accident victims and to help them seek the compensation they deserve.

In situations where someone is injured, figuring out who is at fault can be complicated. Courts use a set of rules called comparative negligence to decide how to divide responsibilities and make sure everyone gets treated fairly. This blog post explains how comparative negligence works in Michigan, what it means, how it is used, what it means for people involved in personal injury cases, and how Elia & Ponto can help.
