Car Accidents in Michigan

Being caught in a motor vehicle accident can have profound and lasting effects on your life. Each year, countless individuals across our state suffer serious injuries as a result of car crashes, many of which occur due to the negligent or reckless behavior of other drivers. Among the leading causes of these collisions are:

• Impaired Driving: The influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication drastically reduces a driver's ability to make sound judgments and react promptly, posing a significant risk to everyone on the road.
• Speeding: Traveling above the speed limit not only increases the likelihood of losing control of a vehicle but also leads to longer stopping distances and more severe outcomes in the event of a crash.
• Right-of-Way Violations: Failing to adhere to right-of-way rules at intersections and other crucial points can result in dangerous situations, including head-on collisions and other grave incidents.

Despite ongoing efforts to enhance road safety, such reckless behaviors continue to contribute to serious accidents.
