Car Accidents in Michigan

Auto accidents in Michigan are one of the leading causes of accidental injuries and deaths. Unfortunately, tens of thousands of collisions are reported statewide every year, leaving countless people to deal with overwhelming consequences. Far too often, these accidents are a result of negligence. Some of the leading factors include:

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.
Failing to Yield: Not yielding to other vehicles traveling through intersections or while switching lanes can result in serious accidents that result in devastating injuries for those involved.
Fatigued Driving: Similar to intoxication, driving while drowsy hinders judgment and coordination. Driving while too tired can result in delayed reaction time and other devastating consequences.
