Car Accidents in Michigan

In the year 2022, more than 293,000 motor vehicle accidents occurred on Michigan roads. Unfortunately, a significant number of these accidents resulted in injuries for those involved. Suffering injuries in a car crash can profoundly impact your life. It is not uncommon to witness victims of car accidents left with head trauma, internal organ injuries, broken bones, and other lasting injuries that alter their lives permanently.

Various types of automobile accidents happen on our roads each year. Understanding these can help us become more cautious and informed drivers. Some common types include:

• T-bone crashes (broadside collisions): These occur when the front of one vehicle strikes the side of another, forming a "T" shape and posing significant danger to occupants due to limited side protection.
• Intersection crashes: Intersections are accident hotspots due to multiple traffic flows merging. Common causes include running red lights, failure to yield, and improper turns.
• Highway construction collisions: These often occur in construction zones with narrowed lanes and workers present, posing dangers due to heavy machinery and reduced speed limits.
• Sideswipe accidents: These occur when two vehicles traveling in the same direction make contact, usually during lane changes, ranging from minor incidents to severe crashes depending on speed and angle of impact.
• Drunk/impaired driving accidents: Caused by drivers operating vehicles under the influence of alcohol or drugs, impairing their ability to drive safely and react to road conditions.
