These forms of accidents can be traumatizing and really take a toll on victims emotionally as well as financially. A Lansing Auto Accident Lawyer at our firm is just a call away.

Dangerous Roads and Intersections in Lansing
In a car accident, even the most cautious drivers can be involved. Some factors, however, tend to increase the chances of an accident and may make a particular highway or intersection more dangerous than others. Some of the following are:
- environment (rain, ice, snow)
- entrance/exit ramps & merging traffic
- lane markings
- obstructed or limited view (foliage, etc.)
- obstruction or debris on the road
- roadway construction (narrow lanes, ongoing construction projects, sharp turns, shoulder drop off, etc.)
- shifting traffic patterns
- time of day
- uneven surfaces, including potholes
Although car accidents happen everywhere, Lansing has some of the state’s most dangerous roads and intersections – some of the worst offenders are along the I-496 and US-127 corridors. Additionally, the behavior of a driver can also heavily contribute to the likelihood of an auto accident. To reduce accident, injury, and fatality rates drivers should be aware of the state driving laws, dangerous roads, and consequences of risky driving behaviors.

In the absence of a lawsuit within three years, the claim may be barred forever. For this process, an experience Lansing auto accident lawyer will be available to help you or a loved one.

My car was totally damaged , I was badly injured, and I had no idea what I was supposed to do. Elia & Ponto walked me through every step of the process with confidence. I don't know how I would have dealt with such a complicated situation without them. My attorney Adam P. Ponto always took the time and energy to understand what I was going through physically and emotionally, and answer every question with care. I never felt as though my case was "out of my hands." At the end of the day, I was the one to make every decision along the way.
You just did a very good job, beyond what I expected. Thank you.
GREAT - we recommend you to anyone who needs legal help. Thanks a lot. I feel that you did an excellent job bringing the case to a great conclusion - A job well done.
Excellent! Totally satisfied. A good firm to deal with!
You all worked long and hard to get me compensation. You always keep informed of what was happening in the case. Thanks again for all your hard work in my case. I'm glad I chose you to represent me.
