Car Accidents in Michigan

In Michigan, car accidents are an everyday occurrence, often leading to serious injuries that require emergency medical attention. Many victims end up in the hospital with severe conditions such as brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, or broken bones. Unfortunately, over 80 percent of these collisions involve some form of driver negligence. The most common causes of accidents in our state include:

• Drivers who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, which significantly impairs their judgment and reaction times, leading to dangerous situations on the road.

• Failing to check blind spots when changing lanes, a critical safety step that can prevent collisions with vehicles that are not immediately visible.

• Not yielding the right-of-way, which can create confusion and dangerous encounters at intersections, especially when one driver assumes another will stop.

• Distracted driving, often due to cell phone use, where drivers may take their eyes off the road or their hands off the wheel to engage with their devices, resulting in delayed responses to obstacles.

• Speeding, which reduces the driver's ability to react to sudden changes in traffic conditions and increases the severity of any accidents that may occur.
