Driving or riding in a vehicle may seem like an everyday task, but it can be risky for pregnant women.

In addition to the emotional trauma, there’s the possibility of injuries or complications. The team at Goodman Acker has experience handling automobile accidents involving pregnant women in the Grand Rapids area.
Next, arrange to have your vehicle moved to a safe location, if at all possible. You want to avoid any further collisions from happening. Police will help direct traffic around the accident site, call for any tow trucks, and take reports from all drivers involved as well as any witnesses available. This report is essential because you may need it later for an insurance claim. You should also try to get pictures of the damage, the site, and anything other important details about the accident. If there are witnesses, get their contact information, if possible.
Once everything has settled down, you’ll want to file an insurance claim to recover any medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage incurred, depending on the amount of coverage you carry. Michigan is a no-fault state, so you won’t have to negotiate with the other driver’s insurance company. Insurance claims can get complicated quickly, and insurance companies can also deny claims. You may want to contact an attorney to help you out. They will investigate the accident, assess damages, and assign a reasonable amount to a claim, including any expected future expenses.
