Car Accidents in Michigan

Being involved in a vehicle collision can profoundly affect your life, both physically and emotionally. In 2022 alone, over 293,000 collisions were reported in Michigan, highlighting the alarming frequency of these incidents. Despite having strict laws designed to protect motorists and enhance road safety, the number of individuals injured or killed in crashes on our roadways continues to escalate year after year.

Many of these accidents result from negligence, often linked to avoidable human errors. Common contributing factors include:

• Poor road conditions, such as deep potholes, uneven surfaces, and inadequate or missing signage, can significantly impair a driver's ability to maintain control of their vehicle. These hazards not only increase the risk of accidents but can also cause damage to vehicles, leading to costly repairs and safety concerns.

• Failing to signal when changing lanes or making turns can create confusion among other drivers, as they are left guessing the intentions of the driver. This lack of communication increases the risk of collisions, as drivers may misinterpret the actions of others, leading to dangerous situations on the road.

• Unsafe lane changes occur when drivers neglect to properly check their blind spots or signal their intentions to other road users. This behavior can result in unexpected encounters on the road, such as sideswipes or rear-end collisions, highlighting the importance of attentiveness and clear communication while driving.
