Car Accidents in Michigan

It is undeniable that a motor vehicle accident can have a devastating impact on your life. Regrettably, we see tens of thousands of people hospitalized with severe injuries every year as a result of vehicle collisions on our roadways. Far too often, these accidents are preventable. Innocent people continue to suffer due to the reckless and negligent actions of other motorists. It is disheartening to witness the pain and disruption that can stem from a moment of carelessness on the road. We see many accidents take place as a result of various dangerous behaviors, which include:

• Running red lights, where drivers ignore traffic signals, putting themselves and others at risk.

• Tailgating, a practice that not only shows impatience but also reduces the time one has to react in case of sudden stops.

• Speeding, where exceeding the legal limits compromises safety and increases the severity of collisions.

• Weather conditions, including rain, snow, or fog, which can drastically reduce visibility and road traction.

• Poor road conditions, such as potholes or lack of proper signage, that can lead to unexpected hazards for drivers.

Unfortunately, any act of negligence can have devastating consequences for drivers on the road. When drivers do not operate their vehicle safely, it can lead to accidents that cause severe injuries for victims. Common injuries that are reported in automobile collisions include:

• Spinal cord injuries that cause paralysis.
• Internal organ injuries that can be life-threatening.
• Trauma to the head of that can result in mood and memory problems.
• Broken bones that can require extensive medical care.
