Car Accidents in Michigan

Crashes on Michigan’s rural roads, like South Fordney Road, contribute significantly to the state’s injury totals each year. With more than 50,000 injury crashes reported annually across Michigan, many of these incidents occur on two-lane roadways where speeds are higher and visibility is sometimes limited. These conditions often increase the chances of serious injuries.

After a crash, understanding how accident investigations work is essential. Here are some key facts about how these incidents are reviewed and documented:

• Law Enforcement Documentation: Police create a crash report detailing the parties involved, apparent injuries, road conditions, and potential causes. This report becomes an important document when filing insurance claims or lawsuits. Always ask for a copy after your crash.
• Witness Interviews: Officers often speak with witnesses at the scene to get a clearer picture of what occurred. These statements are noted in the report and can support or dispute versions of the incident from those involved.
• Photographic Evidence: Investigators may take pictures of the scene, including vehicle damage, skid marks, and roadway signage. This documentation can later help accident reconstruction experts understand what happened and who may be at fault.
• Traffic Citations and Charges: If violations of traffic laws are found—like running a stop sign or speeding—officers may issue citations or refer the matter for further legal action. Fault isn’t always determined on the spot and may require additional review.
• Crash Reconstruction: In more serious cases, especially those involving injuries or fatalities, trained specialists may be called to reconstruct the events leading to the crash. They use physical evidence, data from vehicles, and calculations to estimate speeds and impact forces.
