Car Accidents in Michigan

Vehicle collisions occur far too often in Michigan, leading to tens of thousands of injuries across the state each year. These accidents result in many individuals being hospitalized with head trauma, internal organ injuries, and broken bones. If you have been injured in a car crash, you have the option to take legal action against the responsible party. However, in order to win your case, you must be able to prove that the other driver was negligent. Some of the most common negligent behaviors that lead to accidents in Michigan include:

• Reckless Driving: Aggressive behaviors like speeding, ignoring traffic signals, and failing to yield can cause severe accidents. These types of reckless actions often lead to devastating injuries that can alter victims’ lives forever.
• Failing to Yield: Drivers who fail to yield when traveling through intersections or changing lanes create dangerous situations that can result in serious accidents. This kind of negligence often leads to severe injuries for those involved.
• Speeding: Driving above the speed limit increases the chance of losing control, makes it harder to stop in time, and typically results in more serious injuries when accidents occur.
