Car Accidents in Michigan

A motor vehicle accident can drastically alter the course of your life. Unfortunately, many victims are left hospitalized and must undergo extensive medical treatments to recover from the injuries they suffer in these collisions. After being harmed in an accident, victims have the right to file personal injury claims against those responsible. To succeed in such a claim, the victim must prove that the crash was caused by the negligence of another party. Some common factors that contribute to accidents include:

• Running red lights: This reckless behavior often leads to serious collisions, as drivers fail to yield the right of way to oncoming traffic.

• Driver fatigue: When drivers are tired, their reaction times slow down, increasing the risk of accidents due to lapses in attention or falling asleep at the wheel.

• Aggressive driving: Tailgating, speeding, and road rage can create a hostile environment on the road, leading to dangerous situations and potential crashes.

• Unsafe lane changes: Failing to signal or check blind spots can result in unexpected encounters with other vehicles, causing accidents that could have been avoided.

• Poor visibility: Inclement weather, such as rain or fog, as well as nighttime driving, can severely reduce a driver's ability to see clearly, increasing the likelihood of accidents.
