Fatal Accidents in Michigan

Being involved in a vehicle collision can have devastating consequences, especially when it results in a fatality. In 2022 alone, Michigan reported over 293,000 collisions, and despite strict laws designed to keep motorists safe, the number of lives lost in these tragic incidents continues to rise each year. Many fatal accidents occur due to negligence, encompassing various factors that compromise safety on the road. Some common contributors include:

• Poor road conditions: Potholes, worn-out pavement, and inadequate signage can create dangerous driving situations, significantly increasing the risk of accidents.
• Failing to signal when changing lanes: When drivers neglect to use their turn signals, they create confusion for others on the road. This lack of communication can lead to devastating collisions.
• Unsafe lane changes: Abrupt or reckless lane changes without checking blind spots can surprise other drivers and lead to serious accidents.
