Car Accidents in Michigan

Michigan sees thousands of car accidents every year, many of which result in serious injuries. With over 245,000 crashes reported annually, intersections remain one of the most common locations for these incidents. Drivers must remain cautious and aware of their surroundings to help prevent collisions.

Here are some common causes of traffic accidents in Michigan:

• Left-Turn Collisions – Many crashes occur when drivers make left turns without yielding to oncoming traffic. Misjudging the speed of approaching vehicles or failing to check blind spots can result in dangerous side-impact accidents.
• Road Hazards – Potholes, debris, and poorly marked lanes can contribute to crashes. When drivers swerve to avoid obstacles, they risk losing control or colliding with other vehicles.
• Failure to Signal – Changing lanes or turning without using a signal increases the likelihood of accidents. Other drivers rely on turn signals to anticipate movements, and failing to use them can lead to dangerous miscommunications on the road.
• Inexperience Behind the Wheel – New drivers may lack the skills or confidence to react appropriately in high-traffic situations. Their slower reaction times and uncertainty can contribute to accidents, particularly in busy intersections.
• Mechanical Failures – Issues such as brake failure, tire blowouts, or engine malfunctions can lead to sudden and uncontrollable accidents. Regular vehicle maintenance is essential to reducing these risks.
