Car Accidents in Michigan

Every day, countless victims are hospitalized as a result of automobile accidents that take place across our state. These incidents cause not only physical injuries but also emotional and financial strain for the victims and their families. Far too many accidents reported on our roadways are preventable and caused by negligent drivers who fail to adhere to safety protocols. Leading factors in automobile accidents include:

• Reckless driving: Drivers who exceed speed limits, weave through traffic, or ignore traffic signals endanger everyone on the road.

• Weather conditions: Rain, snow, fog, and other adverse weather conditions can create hazardous driving situations. Drivers need to adjust their speed and behavior to stay safe.

• Driving under the influence of drugs: Impaired drivers have slower reaction times and impaired judgment, significantly increasing the risk of accidents.
