Car Accidents in Michigan

In 2022, there were more than 293,000 motor vehicle accidents on Michigan roads. Unfortunately, many of these crashes led to injuries for those involved. Suffering an injury in a car accident can be overwhelming and life-changing. Sadly, it is common for victims of these crashes to experience severe injuries such as head trauma, internal organ damage, broken bones, and other conditions that can have long-lasting effects on their lives.

Various types of car accidents occur on our roads each year. Some of the most frequent ones include:

• Highway Construction Accidents: These crashes often happen in construction zones, where changes in traffic patterns or sudden stops can lead to collisions.
• Uber and Lyft Accidents: With the rise of ride-sharing services, accidents involving Uber and Lyft vehicles have become more common. These crashes can involve complex liability issues.
• Sideswipe Collisions: These accidents occur when two vehicles traveling in the same direction make contact, usually because one driver fails to check their blind spot before changing lanes.
• Intersection Accidents: Crashes at intersections often result from drivers running red lights or failing to yield the right of way, leading to severe T-bone or rear-end collisions.
• Drunk/Impaired Driving Crashes: Drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs pose a significant risk on the road, leading to accidents that can have devastating consequences.
• T-Bone Crashes (Broadside Collisions): These accidents occur when one vehicle crashes into the side of another, often at intersections, and can cause serious injuries to the occupants of both vehicles.
