Summary: The rules of the road are clear and each driver is required to pass a written test before receiving a driver's license, but most drivers passed this test many years ago and simply forget who has the right of way in many situations.
A failure to yield accident is where one driver fails to yield the road to another driver who has the right of way by law. Failing to yield is a major cause of accidents in Michigan and it can happen in many different ways and situations. Many times the driver who has the right away appears to hit the other car, but they legally had the right to proceed and is justified in hitting the other party in an accident. For this reason, it's important to hire a Michigan car accident lawyer who can help show the real reason for the accident and make a case strong enough to take on the other driver and the respective insurance companies.

You pay your premiums and fees diligently and when you need it the most they deny your claim. Don't be taken advantage of by your insurance company or agree to an unfair settlement. We routinely deal with the insurance companies and we know how to protect your rights and give you the best possible chance at receiving fair and just compensation.
