Car Accidents in Michigan
Automobile accidents are one of the leading causes of accidental injuries and death in Michigan every year. Tens of thousands of people are forced to deal with painful injuries in emotional scarring. The unfortunate truth is that we often see victims left to deal with tens of thousands of dollars of financial burdens. Trying to deal with the aftermath of an automobile collision can be incredibly challenging. Regrettably, many accidents take place due to negligent and reckless drivers. Leading factors in vehicle collisions include:
- Speeding: When drivers travel too fast for road conditions, they increase the likelihood of losing control of their vehicles and striking others nearby. Speeding can also increase the force at impact and cause devastating injuries.
- Distractions: When drivers do not pay attention to the road ahead, it can lead to devastating accidents. We often see accidents take place as a result of drivers who are messing with their cell phones, changing the radio, or even eating.
- Tailgating: Following other vehicles too closely can be incredibly dangerous. It does not provide drivers with the ability to stop in time to avoid a collision. Unfortunately, we often see accidents take place as a result of drivers who engage in this aggressive action.
