Car Accidents in Michigan

Motor vehicle accidents causing significant injuries occur daily in Michigan. Many of these injuries necessitate immediate medical attention, leading to numerous hospitalizations with brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and broken bones. Unfortunately, more than 80 percent of reported vehicle collisions statewide involve some form of negligence. Common factors contributing to auto collisions in our state include:

• Distracted drivers: This includes activities like texting, eating, or using in-car technologies that take attention away from the road.
• Not yielding the right-of-way: Failure to observe traffic rules and give way can lead to serious accidents at intersections and pedestrian crossings.
• Changing lanes without looking: Drivers who switch lanes without checking mirrors or blind spots put themselves and others at great risk.
• Drunk or drugged drivers: Operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs impairs judgment, reaction time, and coordination, significantly increasing the likelihood of accidents.
• Speeding drivers: Exceeding speed limits reduces the driver's ability to react to sudden changes in traffic, making collisions more probable and often more severe.
