Car Accidents in Michigan

Motor vehicle accidents occur daily in Michigan. Unfortunately, many of these accidents are preventable. We often see negligence contribute to the high rate of collisions reported statewide. Some of the most common causes of automobile accidents include:

Speeding: Speed dramatically reduces a driver's ability to react quickly to unexpected situations and increases braking distances.
Impairment: Drunk driving continues to be a major problem on Michigan roads as well. We see many accidents take place as a result of drivers who are drunk on alcohol or impaired by drugs.
Distractions: It only takes a split second for a driver to become distracted and lose control of their vehicle.
