Car Accidents in Michigan

Michigan sees tens of thousands of injury-related car accidents each year, with many of them occurring at intersections or during early morning hours when visibility may be reduced. According to state reports, driver error, impaired driving, and speeding contribute to a large percentage of these incidents.

Understanding the dangers of auto accidents can help drivers stay more aware on the road. Below are some common risk factors:

• Drowsy Driving – Fatigue can significantly impair reaction time and decision-making, making early morning and late-night driving particularly hazardous.
• Speeding – Driving above the speed limit reduces control over a vehicle and increases the likelihood of severe injuries in a crash.
• Running Red Lights and Stop Signs – Many intersection-related accidents occur due to drivers failing to obey traffic signals or stop signs.
• Reckless or Aggressive Driving – Tailgating, unsafe lane changes, and failing to yield contribute to a high number of preventable accidents.
• Poor Road Conditions – Potholes, wet pavement, and low visibility can increase the risk of losing control of a vehicle, leading to crashes.
