Car Accidents in Michigan

Michigan experiences a significant number of car accidents each year, with many resulting in injuries or fatalities. The Michigan State Police reports that thousands of crashes occur annually, often due to driver negligence, adverse weather conditions, or mechanical failures.

Some common causes of car accidents include:

• Distracted Driving: Using a phone, eating, or engaging in other distractions while driving can lead to serious crashes.
• Speeding: Driving above the speed limit reduces reaction time and increases the likelihood of severe injuries in a collision.
• Failure to Yield: Many accidents occur when drivers fail to yield at intersections, leading to dangerous side-impact or head-on crashes.
• Impaired Driving: Alcohol and drug use impair judgment, reaction time, and coordination, making the roads more dangerous for everyone.
• Reckless Lane Changes: Unsafe lane changes without checking blind spots or signaling can lead to multi-vehicle collisions.
