Car Accidents in Michigan

Being involved in a motor vehicle accident can be incredibly devastating. The unfortunate truth is that there are tens of thousands of people were left with serious injuries due to car crashes that take place across our state every year. Many of these accidents are a direct result of negligent and reckless drivers. Some of the most common factors in vehicle collisions include:

Running Red Lights: Not stopping at intersections can result in vehicles colliding with one another. Unfortunately, red light accidents often involve speeding drivers, which significantly increases the severity of injuries suffered in accidents.
Impaired Driving: Operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs can have a significant impact on the driver’s cognitive functions and reaction time. This increases the chance of a motor vehicle accident occurring.
Driver Inexperience: New or inexperienced drivers may not have the skills and experience that may need to navigate the roadway safely and effectively. This increases the risk of motor vehicle accidents occurring.
