Car Accidents in Michigan

Car crashes occur far too often in Michigan. Each year, these accidents cause tens of thousands of injuries statewide. We see many people hospitalized with trauma to the head, internal organ injuries, and even broken bones. After being hurt in a car crash, you can take legal action against the responsible party. To be able to prevail, you must be able to demonstrate negligence. Common acts of negligence that lead to accidents in our state include:

• Reckless Driving: Engaging in aggressive behaviors such as speeding, ignoring traffic signals, and neglecting to yield can result in serious accidents, leaving victims with life-altering injuries.
• Failing to Yield: Failure to yield to other vehicles at intersections or when changing lanes can lead to significant accidents, causing severe injuries for those parties involved.
• Speeding: Surpassing the prescribed speed limit elevates the likelihood of losing control, lengthening stopping distances, and intensifying the severity of injuries in collisions.

If you have been hurt due to an automobile accident caused by the careless or reckless actions of another driver, you may have legal options available. It is vital that you seek guidance from a Michigan car accident lawyer right away.
