Vehicle collisions are reported far too often in Michigan, leaving tens of thousands of people injured every year. Unfortunately, many of these accidents are preventable. Common causes of vehicle collisions that are reported in Michigan include:
Poor road conditions: when roads are not properly lit or maintained, it can result in accidents. Drivers are likely to lose control of their vehicles due to poor road conditions and crash into others.
Tailgating: when drivers are traveling too closely to other vehicles around, it can have devastating consequences. We see many accidents take place as a result of drivers who tailgate other vehicles.
Failure to yield: when drivers do not yield to other drivers traveling on the roadway, it can cause serious accidents that result in devastating injuries.
