Car Accidents in Michigan

An automobile accident can have a significant impact on your life. Unfortunately, it is all too common to see victims of car crashes in our state left with traumatic brain injuries, internal organ injuries, and spinal cord injuries. Quite often, these accidents occur as a result of drivers who fail to operate their vehicles safely. Leading factors in collisions include:

Distracted driving: it is imperative that drivers pay attention to the road ahead of them at all times. When drivers become distracted, they may not see other vehicles in the area. They may also not see stop signs or other traffic control devices, which can lead to serious accidents.
Speeding: when drivers are traveling too fast for road conditions, they are likely to lose control of their vehicles and crash into others. Unfortunately, speeding also increases the severity of injuries suffered in motor vehicle collisions.
Drunk driving: when drivers are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, they are likely to make irresponsible decisions while operating their vehicles. Unfortunately, drunk drivers are more likely to cause motor vehicle accidents due to lacking coordination, impaired judgment, and as a result of other negative effects.
