Car Accidents in Michigan

Each year, tens of thousands of people in Michigan are injured in vehicle collisions, many of which are caused by negligent and reckless drivers. Speeding, failure to yield, and running red lights are some of the primary causes behind these accidents. Unfortunately, these dangerous driving behaviors often lead to devastating crashes that result in serious injuries. Common types of accidents reported across the state include:

• Rear-end collisions: These often occur when one vehicle fails to stop in time and collides with the vehicle in front, frequently happening in heavy traffic.

• Uninsured motorist crashes: These involve a driver without insurance, leaving victims vulnerable and often facing difficulties in recovering damages.

• Head-on collisions: One of the most dangerous types of accidents, these happen when two vehicles collide frontally, typically resulting in severe injuries.

• Hit-and-run accidents: These incidents occur when a driver flees the scene without providing contact information, creating complications for the injured party seeking compensation.

• Underinsured motorist accidents: In these cases, the at-fault driver has insurance, but it’s insufficient to cover the damages, leaving victims to deal with the financial fallout.

Any type of car accident has the potential to cause severe harm to those involved. Sadly, many victims suffer from spinal cord injuries, internal organ damage, and other serious conditions that require extensive medical treatment.
