Car Accidents in Michigan

In 2022 alone, Michigan saw more than 293,000 motor vehicle accidents on its roadways. Unfortunately, many of these crashes resulted in injuries for those involved. Being hurt in a car accident can have a significant and lasting impact on your life. All too often, victims of these collisions suffer from serious injuries such as head trauma, internal organ damage, broken bones, and other conditions that can change their lives forever.

Every year, our roads witness a variety of automobile accidents that can lead to serious consequences for those involved. Some of the most common types of accidents include:

• Intersection crashes: These occur when vehicles collide at traffic intersections, often due to running red lights or failing to yield. These crashes can result in severe injuries, as vehicles may be traveling at high speeds.

• Uber and Lyft accidents: With the rise of rideshare services, accidents involving these vehicles have become increasingly frequent. Passengers, drivers, and other road users can all be affected when a rideshare vehicle is involved in a collision.

• T-bone crashes (broadside collisions): This type of accident happens when one vehicle strikes another from the side, typically at intersections. T-bone crashes can be particularly dangerous, especially for occupants of the struck vehicle.

• Sideswipe accidents: These occur when two vehicles traveling in the same direction make contact, often due to lane changes without proper signaling. While they may seem minor, sideswipe accidents can lead to significant damage and injuries.

• Highway construction collisions: As roadwork becomes necessary, construction zones can create hazardous conditions. Drivers may be caught off guard by sudden lane shifts or reduced speed limits, leading to accidents.

• Drunk/impaired driving accidents: Operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs remains a leading cause of accidents. These incidents not only endanger the driver but also put everyone else on the road at risk.
