Car Accidents in Michigan

Car accidents are a significant issue across Michigan, with thousands happening every year and leaving people with serious injuries. Many of these crashes happen because someone wasn't paying attention or didn't follow the rules of the road. Some common reasons for these accidents include:

Distracted Driving: Activities like texting, talking on the phone, eating, or using GPS while driving can lead to dangerous situations. These distractions take focus away from driving and can result in accidents.
Mechanical Failures: Cars sometimes have problems with brakes, tires, steering, or other important parts. If these parts don't work right, drivers can lose control and crash.
Traffic Signal Violations: Ignoring red lights, stop signs, or other traffic signals is very risky. This behavior can lead to serious accidents that could have been avoided.

Accidents caused by these and other careless behaviors can lead to severe injuries, including head trauma, broken bones, and damage to internal organs.
