Car Accidents in Michigan

Each year, Michigan witnesses tens of thousands of injury collisions, forcing car crash victims into local hospitals for days, sometimes weeks. These accidents result in significant physical and emotional trauma, often requiring extensive medical treatments such as surgeries, physical therapy, and rehabilitation programs. Many individuals have to take extended time off work to recover from their injuries, facing weeks or even months of absence, which can lead to financial strain due to lost wages.

When drivers fail to operate their vehicles safely, the repercussions can be catastrophic for all involved. Speeding motorists, intoxicated drivers, and individuals disregarding traffic signals at intersections often cause severe injuries to innocent victims. These reckless behaviors lead to devastating accidents that leave victims with significant harm, including broken bones, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and, in the most tragic cases, fatalities.
