Car Accidents in Michigan

Motor vehicle accidents are an unfortunate reality in Michigan, with thousands of crashes reported annually. According to state data, distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield are among the top causes of collisions. Many of these accidents lead to injuries that require extensive medical care, affecting victims and their families both physically and financially.

Understanding the risks on Michigan roads can help prevent accidents. Here are some of the most common causes of crashes in the state:

• Distracted Driving: Texting, phone calls, and even in-car entertainment systems contribute to many crashes. Looking away from the road for even a few seconds can have devastating consequences.
• Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit reduces reaction time and increases the severity of crashes. Speed-related accidents often result in serious injuries or fatalities.
• Failure to Yield: Ignoring right-of-way rules at intersections is a leading factor in side-impact collisions, many of which cause significant harm to drivers and passengers.
• Impaired Driving: Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs impairs judgment, slows reflexes, and significantly raises the risk of a serious crash.
• Poor Weather Conditions: Michigan’s winter weather can create slippery roads and low visibility, leading to accidents if drivers fail to adjust their speed and following distances.
