Car Accidents in Michigan

Automobile accidents can have devastating consequences. In Michigan, tens of thousands of serious collisions occur each year, leaving many people with severe injuries. Often, these accidents happen because of negligence on the part of drivers. Some of the most common causes of crashes in Michigan include:

1. Distracted Driving: Engaging in activities like texting, talking on the phone, eating, or using a GPS can divert a driver’s attention from the road. Even a momentary lapse in focus can lead to deadly accidents.
2. Mechanical Failures: Issues such as faulty brakes, tires, or steering components can cause drivers to lose control of their vehicles. These mechanical problems often result in accidents that could have been prevented with proper maintenance.
3. Traffic Signal Violations: Disregarding red lights, stop signs, and turn signals are reckless actions that put everyone on the road at risk. Failing to obey traffic control devices often leads to severe collisions.

Sadly, we continue to witness accidents caused by these and other forms of reckless driving. Victims of these crashes often sustain severe injuries, such as head trauma, broken bones, and internal organ damage. Recovering from such injuries can be physically, emotionally, and financially draining.
