Car Accidents in Michigan

Every year, Michigan sees hundreds of multi-vehicle crashes, many of which occur at busy intersections like West Avenue and Monroe Street. The Michigan State Police report over 50,000 injury crashes annually, with intersections accounting for a large share. These areas pose increased risks due to turning vehicles, changing traffic lights, and high congestion, especially during weekends or evening hours.

Here’s a closer look at why intersection crashes can be so dangerous and complex:

• Multiple Impact Points: Unlike single-vehicle crashes, intersection wrecks often involve multiple angles of impact—side, front, or rear. This increases the risk of serious injury and can complicate determining who was at fault.
• Disputed Right-of-Way: Many intersection crashes stem from confusion or disagreement over who had the right-of-way. Whether it’s a left-hand turn or a four-way stop, these disputes can affect how insurance companies handle claims.
• Poor Visibility or Obstructions: Parked cars, poles, or signage can reduce a driver’s ability to see oncoming traffic. Intersections with visual obstructions are more prone to T-bone and angle collisions, which can be particularly severe.
• Red Light Violations: Drivers running red lights or trying to beat a yellow light can trigger high-speed collisions. These actions are especially risky in areas with frequent pedestrian or bicycle traffic.
• Delayed Medical Symptoms: In multi-car crashes, the adrenaline can mask pain. Victims may not realize the extent of their injuries until hours or days later, which is why immediate medical evaluation is important, even if injuries seem minor at first.

If you or someone you love was hurt in a multi-vehicle crash, it’s important to speak with a Jackson car accident attorney without delay. These cases often involve complex liability questions, and insurance adjusters may try to shift blame or minimize payouts. A dedicated attorney can help gather key evidence, communicate with insurers, and work toward the settlement you need to recover.
