Lawyer Mailings after an accident

I recently had a friend that was rear ended in a car accident in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In order to be safe, she went to the hospital to get checked out. It turns out she was not injured. However, in the ensuing days she received numerous mailings and brochures from personal injury attorney's from all locations in the State of Michigan offering to represent her. She even received calls on her home telephone voice mail. It was almost overwhelming for her.The reason for this is that the accident report is public record and it contains information on  whether someone may have sustained injuries. Some people feel this  practice is an invasion of privacy. And, the family could be in the process of grieving.  If you are injured in an auto or truck accident in Michigan the best way to find a Lawyer is to ask a friend or family member for a referral. And, make sure the attorney has experience in recovery of damages for auto or truck accident victims.
