Every year, tens of thousands of motor vehicle accidents that result in injuries are reported in Michigan. Unfortunately, the vast majority of these accidents are caused by negligent and reckless parties. When drivers operate their vehicles recklessly or negligently, it can have devastating consequences for others around. Unfortunately, many victims suffer injuries and accidents that affect their lives forever. Some of the most common injuries reported in vehicle collisions include

• Contusions: it is very common for victims of car crashes to experience significant bruising. Unfortunately, bruises can last for several days or even weeks following an accident.
• Sprains: the stretching or tearing of a ligament can be incredibly painful. Many victims suffer these injuries due to motor vehicle accidents in our state.
