Car Accidents in Michigan

Car accidents in Michigan are an unfortunate reality, with thousands of crashes reported annually. The Michigan State Police reports that in recent years, the state has seen over 250,000 crashes per year, many resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. These accidents are often caused by factors such as distracted driving, speeding, and adverse weather conditions.

Understanding the risks on Michigan roads can help drivers make safer choices. Below are some of the most common causes of car accidents:

• Distracted Driving – Whether it’s texting, adjusting the GPS, or talking to passengers, distractions take focus away from the road, increasing the likelihood of crashes.
• Speeding – Driving above the posted speed limit or too fast for road conditions reduces reaction time, making it harder to avoid collisions.
• Failure to Yield – Many accidents occur when drivers fail to yield the right-of-way at intersections, often leading to side-impact crashes.
• Impaired Driving – Alcohol and drug use impair judgment and reaction time, making impaired driving one of the most dangerous causes of accidents.
