Car Accidents in Michigan

Crashes involving two vehicles are among the most common types of roadway incidents in Michigan. With hundreds of thousands of accidents reported each year statewide, two-car collisions can happen in residential areas, on highways, and at intersections. These incidents often result in injury—particularly at high speeds or during lane changes.

One critical element in two-car crashes is determining liability. Here are some key challenges and considerations that can come into play:

• He-Said, She-Said Disputes: In many crashes, both drivers may blame one another. Without clear video footage or witness statements, insurance companies may delay or deny claims while determining fault.
• Intersection Confusion: Crashes at or near intersections often hinge on right-of-way violations. If signals are unclear or one driver misjudges a turn, the result can be a serious collision.
• Rear-End Collisions: Typically, the trailing driver is presumed at fault in rear-end crashes. However, sudden stops or non-functioning brake lights on the lead vehicle can complicate the matter.
• Side-Impact Collisions: Also known as T-bone crashes, these often occur when one driver runs a red light or stop sign. These types of crashes frequently result in serious injuries due to the limited protection on the sides of vehicles.
• Shared Liability: Michigan uses comparative fault rules, meaning both drivers can share responsibility. The percentage of fault may impact how much compensation is awarded in injury claims.
