Car Accidents in Michigan

In Michigan, car accidents happen every day, often leading to serious injuries that require immediate medical attention. Many individuals involved in these accidents suffer from brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and broken bones. Unfortunately, more than 80 percent of the vehicle crashes reported across the state involve some form of carelessness or neglect. Some of the most common causes of these accidents include:

• Distracted driving: When drivers are not paying attention to the road, whether due to texting, eating, or other distractions, accidents are more likely to happen.
• Failure to yield the right-of-way: This occurs when a driver does not give other vehicles the proper space and time to pass, often leading to crashes.
• Speeding: Driving over the speed limit reduces the time a driver has to react to sudden changes, increasing the likelihood of an accident.
• Changing lanes without looking: Drivers who switch lanes without checking their blind spots can easily collide with other vehicles.
• Drunk or drugged driving: Operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is extremely dangerous and a major cause of accidents in Michigan.
