Car Accidents in Michigan

Every day, motor vehicle accidents occur in Michigan that result in serious injuries. Many victims find themselves unable to work for several weeks as they undergo extensive medical treatment. Unfortunately, it is all too common to see individuals left with severe injuries such as spinal cord fractures, broken bones, and deep cuts or lacerations. Tragically, many of these accidents could have been prevented with greater awareness and responsibility on the road. Some of the most common causes of vehicle crashes in our state include:

• Speeding: Drivers often exceed the speed limit, which reduces their reaction time and increases the severity of collisions.

• Distracted driving: Activities such as texting, talking on the phone, or even adjusting the radio can take a driver's attention away from the road, leading to dangerous situations.

• Adverse weather conditions: Rain, snow, and ice can create hazardous driving environments that require extra caution and slower speeds.

• Reckless driving: Aggressive behaviors like tailgating, weaving in and out of traffic, and road rage contribute to a significant number of accidents.

• Running red lights or stop signs: Failure to obey traffic signals can result in serious collisions, particularly at intersections where visibility may be limited.

• Drunk driving: Operating a vehicle under the influence impairs judgment and reaction times, making it one of the most preventable causes of accidents.
