Car Accidents in Michigan

Motor vehicle accidents are a daily occurrence in Michigan, often leading to significant injuries that require emergency medical care. Many people involved in these accidents suffer from severe injuries, such as brain trauma, spinal cord damage, and broken bones. Unfortunately, more than 80 percent of car accidents reported across the state involve some form of negligence. Common causes of these crashes can vary, but several key factors frequently contribute to accidents on the road:

• Distracted driving: This includes activities such as texting, using a phone, or engaging in conversations that divert attention from the road, significantly increasing the risk of collisions.

• Failing to yield the right-of-way: Drivers who do not give way to others when required can create dangerous situations, leading to side-impact or head-on crashes.

• Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit or driving too fast for conditions reduces a driver’s ability to react quickly to unforeseen obstacles or changes in traffic.

• Unsafe lane changes: Not signaling, checking blind spots, or ensuring it's safe to change lanes can result in sideswipes and other accidents involving adjacent vehicles.

• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs: Impaired judgment and reduced reaction times due to substances greatly increase the likelihood of accidents, endangering both the driver and others on the road.
