Car Accidents in Michigan

Motor vehicle collisions remain a top cause of injury throughout Michigan. In recent years, the state has recorded nearly 300,000 crashes annually. These incidents range from minor fender-benders to serious multi-vehicle wrecks and can have long-lasting consequences for those involved.

Understanding what often leads to collisions may help drivers stay safer behind the wheel. One key area involves vehicle-related issues. Below are several common vehicle-related factors that contribute to Michigan accidents:

• Tire Blowouts and Worn Tread: Bald or underinflated tires can lead to loss of control, especially on wet or icy roads. A sudden blowout at high speeds can cause serious wrecks. Regular tire maintenance and pressure checks are crucial for safety.
• Brake Failure: When brakes malfunction or wear down, drivers may be unable to stop in time to avoid a crash. Brake-related issues are especially dangerous in heavy traffic or when navigating curves or intersections.
• Faulty Headlights or Taillights: Dim or broken lights reduce visibility and increase the risk of rear-end crashes or pedestrian strikes, especially at night. Many crashes happen simply because another driver couldn’t see a vehicle turning or slowing down.
• Steering or Suspension Issues: Mechanical problems with steering or suspension can cause swerving or loss of control. These issues may go unnoticed until it’s too late unless drivers routinely inspect their vehicles.
• Windshield Wiper or Defrost Malfunctions: Poor visibility during storms or cold weather is a serious hazard. If windshield wipers or defrost systems fail, drivers may not be able to see clearly, which can easily lead to an accident.
