Car Accidents in Michigan

Car accidents in Michigan are among the primary causes of accidental injuries and fatalities. Regrettably, tens of thousands of collisions occur statewide annually, subjecting numerous individuals to profound consequences. Sadly, a significant portion of these accidents result from negligence. Some of the primary contributing factors include:

Neglecting to Yield: Failure to yield to other vehicles at intersections or while changing lanes can lead to severe accidents, causing devastating injuries for those involved.
Driving While Fatigued: Like intoxication, driving while drowsy impairs judgment and coordination, resulting in delayed reaction times and other serious consequences.
Operating a Vehicle While Impaired: Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs significantly impacts drivers' cognitive functions and reaction times, increasing the likelihood of motor vehicle accidents.
