Car Accidents in Michigan

In 2022, Michigan saw more than 293,000 car accidents, leading to tens of thousands of people seeking emergency medical care. Unfortunately, many of these accidents could have been prevented, as they were caused by a range of avoidable factors that often go unaddressed. These include:

• Poor road conditions: Potholes, debris, and inadequate signage can significantly increase the likelihood of accidents, as they create hazardous driving environments that are difficult for drivers to navigate safely.

• Following too closely (tailgating): When drivers tailgate, they reduce their reaction time and increase the risk of rear-end collisions, especially in stop-and-go traffic situations.

• Inexperienced drivers: New drivers may lack the skills and confidence necessary to handle complex driving situations, making them more prone to errors that can lead to accidents.

• Failing to yield the right of way: Ignoring right-of-way rules can lead to dangerous intersections and collisions, as drivers may not anticipate the actions of others on the road.

• Mechanical problems: Neglecting regular vehicle maintenance can result in brake failures, tire blowouts, and other mechanical issues that compromise vehicle safety and performance.
