Car Accidents in Michigan

Michigan sees thousands of crashes each year, many resulting in injuries. According to the Michigan State Police, more than 50,000 injury-related accidents occurred statewide in recent years. Weather conditions, distracted driving, and intersections like the one in this case are common areas where collisions occur.

When serious injuries occur in a crash, it’s important to understand how these events impact victims. Here are some frequent physical outcomes people face after motor vehicle accidents:

• Whiplash and Neck Strain: Even minor crashes can lead to soft tissue injuries, such as whiplash. Victims may not feel pain immediately, but over time, stiffness, headaches, and limited mobility often appear.
• Broken Bones: Car accidents can result in fractured arms, ribs, legs, or facial bones. Depending on the severity, surgery and extensive physical therapy may be necessary for recovery.
• Head Injuries: Concussions or traumatic brain injuries are common, even with seatbelt use. These can cause lasting issues such as memory problems, dizziness, and emotional changes.
• Spinal Cord Damage: Back and spinal injuries can lead to long-term or permanent disability. These injuries often require months or years of treatment and recovery.
• Cuts and Lacerations: Glass and debris can lead to deep cuts, some of which may leave permanent scars or require reconstructive surgery.
• Psychological Trauma:” The emotional impact of a crash is often overlooked. Anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop in the aftermath of serious accidents.
