Car Accidents in Michigan

Vehicle collisions are, unfortunately, a common occurrence in Michigan, and many of the people involved are left with injuries that drastically change their lives. These injuries often affect a person’s ability to work and spend quality time with their family. Sadly, many of these accidents are entirely preventable. Some of the most frequent causes of vehicle collisions include:

• Fatigue: Drowsy drivers have slower reaction times and impaired judgment, making it more likely that an accident will occur. Fatigue can lead to lapses in attention, causing drivers to miss crucial traffic signals or fail to notice changing road conditions. It's essential for drivers to get adequate rest before embarking on a journey to ensure they remain alert and responsive.

• Tailgating: Following too closely behind another vehicle significantly reduces the driver’s ability to stop in time, often leading to rear-end collisions. This risky behavior not only puts the tailgating driver at risk but also places others in danger. Maintaining a safe following distance allows for better reaction time in case of sudden stops, which is crucial for road safety.

• Poor visibility: Weather conditions like fog, heavy rain, or even snow can severely limit a driver’s ability to see the road clearly, increasing the risk of crashes. Poor visibility can make it challenging to spot pedestrians, other vehicles, and road signs. Drivers should adjust their speed and increase their following distance during such conditions and consider using their headlights to improve visibility for themselves and others.
