Car Accidents in Michigan

In Michigan, motor vehicle accidents occur daily, often resulting in severe injuries that require immediate medical attention. Many victims are hospitalized with serious conditions such as brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and broken bones. Unfortunately, more than 80 percent of vehicle collisions across the state are caused by negligence. Common factors contributing to these accidents include:

• Distracted drivers: Drivers who are texting, talking on the phone, or engaging with in-car entertainment systems often fail to pay full attention to the road, increasing the risk of collisions.

• Failure to yield the right-of-way: Ignoring traffic rules regarding right-of-way can lead to dangerous situations, particularly at intersections or when merging onto highways.

• Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit reduces a driver's ability to react to sudden obstacles or changes in traffic conditions, making accidents more likely.

• Changing lanes without looking: Drivers who switch lanes without checking their blind spots can cause serious accidents, as they may collide with vehicles that are already in that lane.

• Drunk or drugged drivers: Impairment from alcohol or drugs significantly decreases a driver's coordination, reaction time, and judgment, leading to a higher likelihood of accidents.
