Car Accidents in Michigan

Motor vehicle accidents are one of the most common causes of injuries in the state of Michigan, with tens of thousands of people being hospitalized every year. The unfortunate truth is that car accidents can result in a wide range of injuries for those involved.

One of the most common injuries that victims suffer from during car crashes is whiplash. When their head is suddenly jolted back and forth, it can have a devastating impact. Unfortunately, if the head strikes the dashboard, window, or another object, it can result in a brain injury. Brain bleeds, traumatic brain injuries and other injuries to the head can be especially debilitating and require extensive medical care.

Broken bones are another common injury that is reported in automobile accidents. Due to the vulnerable state of arms, legs, hands, and feet during accidents, these parts of the body are more likely to suffer broken bones. Unfortunately, these injuries often require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.

Internal organ injuries, spinal cord injuries, and even severe cuts in lacerations or other injuries are commonly reported in automobile collisions.
