Car Accidents in Michigan

Motor vehicle accidents happen daily across Michigan, often leading to injuries and significant vehicle damage. Multi-vehicle crashes, in particular, can be complicated, as they may involve multiple at-fault drivers, insurance disputes, and complex liability issues.

Some common causes of multi-car crashes include:

• Following Too Closely: Tailgating, or driving too closely behind another vehicle, significantly increases the likelihood of rear-end collisions. These accidents can be particularly dangerous on busy roads or highways, often resulting in chain-reaction crashes involving multiple vehicles. Maintaining a safe following distance gives drivers the time they need to react to sudden stops or changes in traffic.
• Distracted Driving: Engaging in activities like texting, eating, or adjusting in-car controls diverts a driver's attention away from the road. Even a split-second distraction can mean the difference between stopping safely or causing an accident. Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of preventable accidents and can have devastating consequences, especially at higher speeds.
• Traffic Signal Violations: Ignoring red lights, failing to yield at stop signs, or not following other traffic signals often results in high-impact collisions at intersections. These types of accidents are especially dangerous because they frequently involve side-impact crashes, which can cause severe injuries to passengers on the impacted side.
• Speeding: Excessive speed not only shortens the amount of time a driver has to react to potential hazards but also increases the force of impact in a crash. High-speed accidents are more likely to result in severe injuries or fatalities. Speeding is particularly dangerous in areas with heavy traffic, sharp curves, or unpredictable road conditions, where quick adjustments are often necessary.
