Car Accidents in Michigan

Being involved in a car accident can have a life-changing impact. Unfortunately, thousands of people in Michigan experience serious injuries each year due to crashes. Many of these accidents are caused by drivers who act recklessly or irresponsibly. Some of the most common factors in car accidents include:

• Impaired Driving: When a driver operates a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or certain medications, their judgment and reaction time are significantly affected. This puts everyone on the road at risk, as impaired drivers are less able to respond to sudden changes or avoid hazards.
• Speeding: Driving over the speed limit can be extremely dangerous. Speeding reduces a driver’s control over their vehicle, increases stopping distances, and often leads to more severe injuries in the event of a collision.
• Right-of-Way Violations: Failing to yield the right of way at intersections, stop signs, or other areas where drivers are expected to stop can cause serious accidents. These situations often result in head-on collisions or other dangerous impacts that can leave drivers and passengers with severe injuries.

Unfortunately, serious accidents continue to happen as a result of these and other reckless actions.
