Impact of Winter Car Crashes on Insurance in Metro Detroit
A recent storm on Wednesday evening led to multiple accidents due to the continuous snow and slush on the roads. If you find yourself in one of these accidents, you might be wondering about the impact on your insurance. With more winter weather anticipated in Metro Detroit, experts are advising drivers to exercise caution and not rush on the roads. Sheriff Michael Bouchard stresses the importance of slowing down and reminds drivers that having four-wheel drive doesn't improve your ability to stop. He reported a high number of accidents in Oakland County and mentioned that being at fault in a crash usually results in receiving a ticket, even if weather conditions were a contributing factor. Attorney Mike Morse highlights that getting a ticket can affect your insurance rates, and even being deemed not at fault doesn't guarantee immunity from potential rate hikes. He suggests considering various types of insurance coverage to shield against premium increases. According to Morse, it's essential to regularly compare insurance options and choose comprehensive coverage that suits your needs. He emphasizes the value of driving cautiously to reduce the chances of accidents.
