Car Accidents in Michigan

In 2022 alone, more than 293,000 motor vehicle accidents occurred on Michigan roadways. Sadly, many of these accidents resulted in injuries for those involved. Suffering injuries in a car crash can have a profound impact on your life. Unfortunately, it is common for victims of car accidents to be left with serious injuries, such as head trauma, internal organ damage, broken bones, and other injuries that can have lasting effects.

Each year, various types of automobile accidents take place on our roads. Some of the most common include:

• Highway Construction Collisions: Accidents that occur in construction zones due to narrow lanes, sudden stops, or unclear signage.
• Uber and Lyft Accidents: Crashes involving rideshare vehicles, which can add complexity due to the involvement of commercial insurance policies.
• Sideswipe Accidents: Collisions where the side of one vehicle strikes the side of another, often caused by unsafe lane changes.
• Intersection Crashes: Accidents that happen at intersections, frequently due to drivers running red lights or failing to yield.
• Drunk/Impaired Driving Accidents: Crashes caused by drivers operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• T-Bone Crashes (Broadside Collisions): Accidents where the front of one vehicle strikes the side of another, often occurring at intersections.
