Car Accidents in Michigan

Michigan experiences thousands of motor vehicle accidents each year, with a significant portion resulting in injuries. On average, over 75,000 crashes in the state lead to some level of harm to drivers and passengers. Speeding, distracted driving, and failure to yield are among the most common contributing factors.

Understanding the risks and consequences of car accidents is essential. Here are some frequent causes of collisions:

• Distracted Driving – Texting, adjusting the radio, or engaging in other distractions can lead to dangerous situations on the road. Even a brief lapse in attention can result in a crash.
• Speeding – Exceeding the speed limit reduces reaction time and increases the severity of collisions, often leading to serious injuries.
• Failure to Yield – Many accidents occur at intersections when drivers fail to give the right of way, resulting in T-bone or head-on crashes.
• Driving Under the Influence – Alcohol and drug impairment significantly impair a driver’s ability to operate a vehicle safely, increasing the risk of accidents.
• Weather Conditions – Snow, rain, and ice make roads hazardous, causing vehicles to skid or lose control if proper precautions aren’t taken.
