Car Accidents in Michigan

In 2022, over 293,000 car accidents took place on Michigan roads. Many of these crashes left victims with injuries that changed their lives forever. For those who have been hurt, the impact of a car accident can be overwhelming, with injuries ranging from head trauma and internal organ damage to broken bones and other painful conditions. These injuries often require long-term treatment, disrupt daily life, and cause emotional and financial strain.

There are several types of car accidents that occur on our roads every year, each with its own risks and potential for injury. Some of the most common types of crashes include:

• Intersection crashes: These happen when drivers fail to yield, run red lights, or speed through intersections, putting everyone at risk.
• Uber and Lyft accidents: With rideshare services growing in popularity, accidents involving Uber and Lyft vehicles have become more common, often complicating the claims process due to multiple parties involved.
• T-Bone crashes (broadside collisions): These occur when the front of one vehicle hits the side of another, usually at intersections. T-bone collisions can lead to severe injuries for the person in the car hit from the side.
• Sideswipe accidents: These happen when two cars traveling in the same direction make side-to-side contact, often due to improper lane changes or distracted driving.
• Highway construction collisions: Construction zones can be hazardous for drivers and workers alike. Drivers who do not pay attention or speed through these zones increase the risk of accidents.
• Drunk or impaired driving accidents: When drivers are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, they are far more likely to make poor decisions and cause serious crashes that harm innocent people.
