Car Accidents in Michigan

Dealing with the aftermath of an accident is extremely difficult. Regrettably, our state sees a significant number of accidents each year, leaving many people injured. Those affected often face a long road of medical treatments. In Michigan, common injuries from car accidents include:

Knee injuries: The force of the crash can twist or bend the knee unnaturally, causing pain, swelling, and difficulty moving.
Dislocated joints: These injuries may need immediate medical attention to be fixed, and then rehabilitation is needed to recover fully.
Crush injuries: Surgery or skin grafts might be necessary to repair the damage caused by these injuries.
Abdominal injuries: These can range from cuts and internal bleeding to damage to organs or the digestive tract. Treating them might involve emergency surgery, blood transfusions, and rehab.
