Car Accidents in Michigan

Every year, tens of thousands of people are hurt as a result of vehicle collisions in Michigan. Far too often, these accidents take place due to negligent and reckless drivers. Speeding, failing to yield, and running red lights are some of the main causes of accidents that occur on our roads. Regrettably, these actions can lead to devastating accidents that result in significant injuries, often affecting not just the individuals involved but also their families and communities. Some of the common types of accidents reported statewide include:

• Rear-end collisions, which often occur when a driver is distracted or fails to maintain a safe following distance, can lead to serious whiplash and other injuries.

• Uninsured motorist crashes, where one party lacks adequate insurance coverage, can complicate recovery for victims who may struggle to receive compensation for medical expenses and damages.

• Head-on collisions, typically involving two vehicles traveling in opposite directions, are among the most dangerous types of accidents and can result in catastrophic injuries due to the force of the impact.

• Hit-and-run accidents, where a driver flees the scene, leave victims in a precarious position, often requiring extensive legal action to seek justice and recovery for their injuries.

• Underinsured motorist accidents happen when the at-fault driver has insurance but not enough coverage to adequately compensate for the injuries and damages caused, leaving victims facing financial burdens.

Any type of collision has the potential to cause severe harm to those involved. Regrettably, we see many victims left with severe spinal cord fractures, internal organ injuries, and other serious injuries that require extensive medical treatment.
