Car Accidents in Michigan

Every day in Michigan, innocent people are injured in car accidents caused by various types of reckless driving. These accidents lead to tens of thousands of hospitalizations each year, leaving victims with physical pain, emotional stress, and financial hardships. Far too often, these crashes are the result of drivers making poor choices on the road, putting others at risk.

Some common causes of car accidents in Michigan include:

• Inexperienced Drivers: Young or inexperienced drivers may lack the skills or judgment needed to navigate the roads safely, increasing the chances of accidents.
• Aggressive Driving: Speeding, tailgating, and weaving between lanes can lead to dangerous situations and serious collisions.
• Failure to Yield: Ignoring the right-of-way rules at intersections or when merging can result in significant crashes.
• Tailgating: Following another vehicle too closely can make it difficult to stop in time, leading to rear-end collisions.
• Mechanical Failure: Issues such as brake failure, tire blowouts, or steering malfunctions can cause accidents if the vehicle is not properly maintained.
• Failure to Obey Traffic Signals: Running red lights or ignoring stop signs can lead to serious intersection accidents with life-changing consequences.
