Car Accidents in Michigan

Being in a car accident can turn your life upside down. Every year, a staggering number of people in our state find themselves dealing with serious injuries because of car crashes. A lot of times, these accidents happen because someone was being careless or not paying attention to the road. Here are a few reasons why these accidents keep happening:

• Impaired Driving: When someone decides to drive after drinking alcohol, using drugs, or taking certain medications, their ability to make quick decisions and react properly gets worse.
• Speeding: Driving faster than the speed limit is dangerous. It makes it harder to stop quickly and increases the chances of severe injuries if there's a crash.
• Right-of-Way Violations: Not following the rules about who has the right to go first, like at stop signs or traffic lights, can cause serious accidents, including head-on collisions.
