Car Accidents in Michigan

Every year, tens of thousands of people in Michigan are injured in vehicle accidents. Unfortunately, many of these crashes are caused by reckless and negligent drivers. Common factors like speeding, failing to yield, and running red lights are among the leading causes of these accidents. These dangerous behaviors often result in severe and life-changing injuries for those involved. Some of the most common types of accidents reported across the state include:

• Hit-and-run accidents: These occur when a driver causes an accident and then flees the scene, leaving the victim without necessary information for a claim.

• Underinsured motorist accidents: In these situations, the at-fault driver has insurance, but it is not enough to cover the damages sustained by the other party, leading to financial losses that can be challenging to recover.

• Rear-end collisions: These accidents happen when one vehicle crashes into the back of another, often due to sudden stops, distractions, or tailgating, resulting in whiplash and other injuries.

• Head-on collisions: This type of accident occurs when two vehicles strike each other front-to-front, usually leading to serious injuries or fatalities, as the impact forces can be devastating.

Each of these accidents can cause significant harm, often leaving victims with serious injuries like spinal cord fractures, internal organ damage, and other life-threatening conditions that require extensive medical care.
