Car Accidents in Michigan

Being involved in a car accident can be life-altering. Each year, tens of thousands of people in our state suffer serious injuries from motor vehicle collisions. Many of these accidents happen because of negligent and reckless driving. Some of the most common causes of these accidents include:

1. Impaired Driving: Driving while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or certain medications can severely affect a driver's judgment and reaction time, increasing the likelihood of a crash.
2. Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit can make it harder to control a vehicle and increase the risk of accidents. Speeding also leads to longer stopping distances and can result in more severe injuries when a crash occurs.
3. Right-of-Way Violations: Failing to yield the right of way at intersections, stop signs, or other traffic control areas often leads to head-on collisions and other serious types of accidents.

Unfortunately, serious accidents continue to occur as a result of these and other reckless behaviors on the road.
