Car Accidents in Michigan

Automobile accidents can be incredibly devastating. Unfortunately, there are tens of thousands of collisions that result in severe injuries that occur across Michigan every year. Quite often, these accidents are a result of negligence. Leading factors in collisions across Michigan include:

Traffic Signal Violations: Running red lights, disregarding stop signs, and disobeying traffic control devices like turn signals are reckless behaviors that endanger other drivers.
Mechanical Failures: Faulty brakes, tires, steering components, or other mechanical issues can cause sudden loss of control and lead to accidents.
Distracted Driving: Texting, talking on the phone, eating, using GPS, or engaging in any activity that takes a driver’s attention away from the road can have deadly consequences.

We continue to see accidents take place on the roadways across Michigan as a result of these and other negligent and reckless actions. Victims involved in these accidents are often left with severe trauma to the head, broken bones, and internal organ injuries.
