Fatal Car Crashes in Michigan

Motor vehicle accidents are a daily occurrence in Michigan, raising ongoing concerns about public safety. These accidents often result in serious injuries that have a lasting impact on the lives of those involved, leading to physical, emotional, and financial difficulties. Common injuries such as spinal cord damage, broken bones, and traumatic brain injuries often require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation. The road to recovery can be long and demanding, with many individuals needing continuous care and support.

Unfortunately, many of these crashes are caused by negligent drivers who fail to follow traffic laws and safe driving practices. Some of the most common causes of vehicle collisions on Michigan's roads include:

• Drunk driving, which significantly impairs judgment and reaction time, making it dangerous for everyone on the road.
• Improper turns, which often result in dangerous side-impact collisions that can cause severe injuries.
• Driver inattention, including distractions from mobile devices and other activities, leading to accidents that could have been avoided.
