Car Accidents in Michigan

Encountering an accident can bring about substantial obstacles to surmount. Unfortunately, our state witnesses tens of thousands of collisions causing injuries annually. Many individuals involved in these accidents often need extensive medical attention. Common injuries seen in Michigan car crashes include:

• Abdominal injuries: These can range from internal bleeding to organ damage, commonly caused by blunt force trauma to the abdomen during a car crash.
• Knee injuries: Car accidents can lead to knee trauma, such as ligament tears or fractures due to impact on the dashboard or steering column.
• Seat belt injuries: While seat belts save lives, they can also cause injuries like chest contusions or abdominal bruising due to the force of sudden deceleration.
• Dislocated joints: Car crashes can forcefully displace joints like shoulders or hips, causing pain, limited mobility, and potential nerve or ligament damage.
