Car Accidents in Michigan

In Michigan, motor vehicle accidents occur daily, often leading to severe injuries that require emergency medical attention. Many victims are hospitalized with serious conditions such as brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and broken bones. Sadly, over 80 percent of car crashes in the state are caused by negligence. Common causes of these collisions often stem from various factors, including:

• Distracted driving, which can involve anything from texting to adjusting the radio, diverting attention from the road.

• Failure to yield the right of way, where drivers do not recognize when another vehicle has priority, leading to dangerous situations.

• Speeding, which not only reduces the driver's ability to react in time but also increases the severity of accidents.

• Changing lanes without checking, where drivers neglect to use mirrors or signals, resulting in unexpected encounters with other vehicles.

• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, significantly impairing judgment and coordination, making it one of the most dangerous behaviors on the road.
