Car Accidents in Michigan

Every year, thousands of motor vehicle accidents in Michigan result in injuries. Unfortunately, many victims suffer serious pain and emotional distress due to these incidents. Physical and emotional injuries from a crash can be tough to manage, especially when they occur because of someone else’s careless actions. Some of the most common causes of accidents in our state include:

• Distracted driving: This includes activities like texting or talking on the phone, eating, or adjusting the radio, which can divert attention from the road and lead to dangerous situations.

• Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit reduces the driver’s ability to react to sudden changes in traffic and increases the severity of collisions.

• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol: Impaired judgment and slower reaction times significantly raise the risk of accidents, making this a critical issue for road safety.

• Using a mobile phone while driving: Engaging with smartphones, whether for calls, texting, or browsing, takes focus away from driving and contributes to a higher likelihood of crashes.

• Falling asleep at the wheel: Fatigue can severely impair a driver's ability to stay alert and make quick decisions, which can result in catastrophic accidents.
