Car Accidents in Michigan

Being involved in a motor vehicle accident can be a life-changing experience. Unfortunately, every year, tens of thousands of people across our state suffer serious injuries due to car crashes. Many of these accidents are caused by drivers who act negligently or recklessly. Some of the most common factors contributing to vehicle collisions include:

• Impaired Driving: Operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or certain medications greatly impairs a driver's judgment, slows their reaction time, and distorts their perception of reality. These impairments can lead to poor decision-making on the road, such as misjudging distances or failing to recognize hazards, significantly increasing the likelihood of an accident.

• Speeding: Driving at speeds above the legal limit not only raises the risk of losing control of the vehicle but also lengthens stopping distances, making it harder to avoid obstacles or react to sudden changes in traffic. Higher speeds contribute to more severe injuries when collisions occur, as the force of impact increases with velocity, often leading to life-threatening situations for those involved.

• Right-of-Way Violations: Failing to yield the right of way at intersections, stop signs, or in other situations can often lead to head-on collisions and other serious accidents. Such violations can occur due to a lack of awareness, impatience, or reckless behavior, resulting in catastrophic injuries for both drivers and passengers involved in these collisions.

Unfortunately, these and other reckless actions by drivers continue to lead to devastating accidents on our roads, impacting countless lives each year.
