Car Accidents in Michigan

In 2022, Michigan saw over 293,000 car accidents, sending tens of thousands of people to hospitals for emergency treatment. Sadly, many of these accidents could have been prevented. There are several common factors that frequently contribute to vehicle collisions in Michigan, including:

• Poor road conditions: This can include potholes, uneven surfaces, and inadequate signage, which can all lead to dangerous driving situations and accidents.

• Failure to yield the right of way: Drivers who do not adhere to traffic signals or signs can create hazardous scenarios, leading to collisions at intersections or merging lanes.

• Mechanical problems in vehicles: Issues such as brake failure, tire blowouts, or engine malfunctions can significantly impair a vehicle's performance, increasing the risk of an accident.

• Following other vehicles too closely (tailgating): This behavior reduces the driver's ability to react in time if the vehicle in front suddenly stops, often resulting in rear-end collisions.

• Lack of experience among drivers: Inexperienced drivers may struggle with decision-making or responding to unexpected situations on the road, making them more prone to accidents.
