Car Accidents in Michigan

No one is ever fully prepared for the impact that a car accident can have on their life. Unfortunately, many people who are involved in crashes suffer serious injuries that change their lives forever. Some of the most common injuries reported in vehicle collisions can have significant and lasting impacts on a person's life. These include:

• Loss of limbs: This traumatic injury can result from severe impacts, requiring amputations that greatly affect mobility and quality of life.

• Nerve and tissue damage: Collisions can cause serious injuries to nerves and soft tissues, leading to chronic pain, impaired movement, and long-term rehabilitation needs.

• Scarring or disfigurement: Injuries sustained in accidents can lead to noticeable scars or disfigurement, which may affect an individual's self-esteem and require cosmetic procedures for correction.

• Burn injuries: High-impact collisions can result in burns from fire or contact with hot surfaces, often requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.

• Severe bleeding or hemorrhages: Trauma from a collision can cause significant internal or external bleeding, which may be life-threatening and necessitate immediate medical intervention.

• Cuts and lacerations: Many vehicle accidents result in cuts and lacerations that can vary in severity, often needing stitches and potentially leading to infections or complications.

These injuries, along with many others, can be life-altering. Often, accident victims must endure days or weeks of medical treatment, followed by months or even years of therapy and rehabilitation.
