Car Accidents in Michigan

Across Michigan, car crashes continue to be a significant safety concern. In recent years, the Michigan State Police have reported over 50,000 injury-related collisions annually. Many of these crashes happen late at night or during low-visibility conditions, increasing the likelihood of injury due to reduced reaction time or impaired driving. Clinton Township and surrounding areas see frequent traffic along major thoroughfares like Harper Avenue.

When you’re involved in a crash, understanding your recovery options is essential. Here's a closer look at common types of vehicle damage and how they affect accident claims:

• Frame Damage
  Structural damage to a vehicle's frame can affect its safety and drivability. In many cases, the vehicle is deemed a total loss, even if it appears repairable. This damage can also be used as evidence of the force of impact in your injury claim.
• Mechanical Failures
  Crashes can damage engine components, brake lines, or transmission systems. These failures may not be visible immediately after the accident, making thorough inspections important to detect hidden issues that can affect the car's performance and resale value.
• Airbag Deployment: When airbags deploy, they often indicate a significant collision. Replacing airbags and related sensors is costly. Insurance companies consider this when determining repair costs and settlement values.
• Glass and Body Damage: Broken windows, windshields, and dents to the body panels not only affect a vehicle’s appearance but also impact its structural integrity. This damage can also reflect where and how the vehicle was struck, which may be relevant in determining fault.
• Wheel and Suspension Damage: A vehicle may look fine but drive poorly after an accident due to damaged wheels or misaligned suspension systems. This damage can lead to additional repairs and compromise safety if left unaddressed.
• Electrical System Issues: Modern vehicles rely heavily on electronics. Accidents can cause wiring problems, faulty sensors, or issues with onboard computers—adding complexity and cost to repairs.
