Car Accidents in Michigan

Being injured in a car accident can be life-changing. Unfortunately, thousands of people across Michigan experience serious harm in crashes every year. Many victims find themselves struggling with intense pain and significant challenges to their daily lives because of these accidents. Common injuries reported in automobile collisions in Michigan include:

• Internal Organ Injuries: Car crashes can cause severe damage to internal organs like the lungs, kidneys, spleen, or intestines. These injuries might involve punctures, lacerations, or even ruptures, leading to internal bleeding or organ dysfunction. Emergency surgery is often necessary to treat these injuries, making the recovery process both physically and financially demanding.
• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Head injuries in a car accident can result in traumatic brain injuries, which can have a lasting effect on a person’s cognitive abilities, memory, and behavior. TBIs may also affect physical functions, requiring long-term care and rehabilitation to help the victim regain as much independence as possible.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the spinal cord can lead to partial or complete paralysis, depending on where the injury occurred. Spinal injuries range from paraplegia (paralysis of the lower body) to quadriplegia (paralysis of all four limbs), often leaving victims to rely on extensive medical care and adjustments to their daily routines.

Any of these injuries can have a lasting, debilitating effect on a person’s life. Beyond the physical pain, accident victims often face emotional trauma and financial burdens, including medical bills, lost wages, and ongoing therapy or rehabilitation.
