Car Accidents in Michigan

In 2022, more than 293,000 motor vehicle accidents occurred on Michigan’s roadways, many of which resulted in injuries to those involved. Being hurt in a car accident can have a significant and lasting impact on your life. Sadly, it is common for victims of car crashes to suffer from serious injuries, including head trauma, internal organ damage, broken bones, and other conditions that can affect their well-being permanently.

Each year, Michigan roads experience a variety of car accidents, highlighting the importance of road safety and awareness. Some of the most common types of accidents include:

• Intersection crashes: These often occur when drivers fail to yield or run red lights, leading to dangerous collisions at busy crossroads.

• Uber and Lyft accidents: With the rise of rideshare services, accidents involving these vehicles have become more frequent, often due to distracted driving or navigation errors.

• T-Bone crashes (broadside collisions): These severe accidents happen when one vehicle strikes the side of another, typically at intersections, often resulting in significant injuries.

• Sideswipe accidents: These occur when two vehicles traveling in the same direction make contact, often due to lane changes or merging without proper signaling.

• Highway construction collisions: Roadwork zones can be hazardous, and accidents here often stem from sudden changes in traffic patterns or reduced visibility.

• Drunk/impaired driving accidents: Unfortunately, impaired driving remains a critical issue, contributing to numerous accidents and putting everyone on the road at risk.
