Car Accidents in Michigan

In Michigan, motor vehicle accidents are a daily occurrence, often resulting in serious injuries. Many people involved in these accidents end up needing emergency medical care, with injuries ranging from brain injuries and spinal cord damage to broken bones. Unfortunately, over 80 percent of reported vehicle collisions in the state are linked to some form of negligence. Common causes of auto accidents in Michigan include several key factors that contribute to road safety concerns:

• Distracted driving: This has become one of the leading causes of accidents, often due to the use of smartphones, eating, or adjusting the radio while driving, which diverts attention from the road.

• Drivers failing to yield the right-of-way: Many accidents occur at intersections when drivers neglect to give way to others, leading to dangerous collisions that can have serious consequences.

• Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit reduces a driver's ability to react quickly to unforeseen circumstances, increasing the likelihood of accidents and the severity of injuries sustained.

• Changing lanes without checking: Failing to properly check blind spots before changing lanes can result in side collisions, as drivers may not be aware of vehicles that are already in those lanes.

• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs: Impaired driving significantly affects judgment and reaction times, making it one of the most dangerous behaviors on the road and a major contributor to serious accidents.
