Car Accidents in Michigan

Being involved in a motor vehicle accident can change your life forever. The unfortunate truth is that we see tens of thousands of people across Michigan hurt due to vehicle collisions every year. In many cases, automobile accidents on our roadways are preventable. Some of the most common factors in automobile collisions across our state include:

Distracted driving: These actions are often associated with activities like texting or using a phone while driving, divert attention from the road, and contribute significantly to accidents.
Speeding: Speeding increases the likelihood of collisions and the severity of resulting injuries. Impaired driving, whether due to alcohol or drugs, poses a serious risk on the roads.
Inclement Weather: Michigan experiences a range of weather conditions, including snow and ice in winter, leading to hazardous driving conditions.
Disregarding Traffic Control Signals: Additionally, failure to obey traffic signals and signs, reckless driving, and driver fatigue are also notable contributors to car crashes in the state.
