Sun Glare Lawyer in Ann Arbor, MI

Sun Glare Overview

Sun Glare Is no Excuse for Careless Driving

"I couldn't see_because the sun was in my eyes."

Fill in the blank with almost any person, object or type of vehicle that a driver can hit: the child, the bicyclist, the pedestrian, the motorcyclist, the red light, the other car. Then look through a few transcripts from court cases involving motor vehicle accidents. What you'll find is that "sun glare" is a very common excuse.

The truth is that, although sun glare can pose serious driving hazards, most often it is only a convenient explanation used to rationalize careless behavior.

At the law firm of Bredell & Bredell, our attorneys and staff are committed to representing the rights of people and families who have been harmed as the result of motor vehicle accidents on Michigan roadways. If you're dealing with this too, we can help. We will aggressively seek the medical care and financial compensation you need to recover from your injury, using experts when needed, and just plain common sense as well.

Establishing the True Cause of the Accident

Every person who drives a motor vehicle in Michigan has a duty to obey traffic laws and drive safely. This duty to drive safely also includes a duty to drive only as fast as is reasonably safe for the conditions at the time, regardless of what the posted speed limit is.

In our experience, most of the accidents that sun glare gets blamed for are really caused by foolish driving choices. If they weren't, then why aren't more people having accidents when driving on this road or that, on sunny days, at about the same time? Simply put, if you can't see, slow down, don't tailgate and don't put innocent lives at risk.

Whether the "sun glare" excuse gets used or not, it's important for every car accident victim to understand their rights and options.
