Car Accidents in Michigan

Michigan drivers experience a large number of car crashes each year. According to the Michigan State Police, nearly 70,000 people were hurt in motor vehicle accidents in 2022 alone. These incidents happen in both urban and rural areas, with a wide range of contributing factors such as speeding, driver inattention, and road conditions.

When someone is involved in a crash, it’s common to face a wide range of physical challenges, including:

• Whiplash: This is one of the most common injuries in rear-end collisions. It occurs when the neck is suddenly jolted back and forth. While it may seem minor at first, whiplash can lead to chronic pain if left untreated.
• Shoulder and Arm Injuries: Impact from the side or front can cause dislocations, fractures, or torn ligaments in the upper body. These injuries often limit mobility and may require surgery or extended therapy.
• Chest Injuries: Blunt force trauma from a steering wheel or seatbelt can lead to bruised ribs, fractured sternums, or internal bleeding. Some chest injuries may not appear serious at first but worsen over time.
• Soft Tissue Damage: Muscles, tendons, and ligaments are frequently strained or torn during accidents. This type of damage may cause long-term discomfort and limit a person’s ability to return to normal activity.
• Internal Injuries: These are especially dangerous because they’re not always immediately obvious. Damage to organs or internal bleeding can quickly become life-threatening without prompt treatment.
• Facial Injuries: Broken glass or airbag deployment can result in cuts, bruises, or even fractures. These injuries can be both physically painful and emotionally distressing, especially when they lead to permanent scarring.
