Car Accidents in Michigan
In Michigan, motor vehicle accidents happen daily, often leading to severe injuries. Many of these injuries require immediate medical attention, with victims frequently suffering from brain trauma, spinal cord damage, and broken bones. Unfortunately, more than 80 percent of the reported accidents in the state involve some form of negligence. Common causes of these collisions include:
- Drivers being distracted: This can occur due to various reasons such as texting, talking on the phone, or even being preoccupied with passengers, significantly reducing their awareness of the road.
- Failing to yield the right-of-way: Many accidents happen when drivers do not properly yield to oncoming traffic or pedestrians, leading to dangerous situations at intersections.
- Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit not only increases the severity of crashes but also reduces the driver’s ability to react quickly to unexpected situations.
- Changing lanes without checking: Many collisions are caused by drivers who change lanes abruptly without using their mirrors or signaling, potentially colliding with vehicles in their blind spots.
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs: Impairment from substances greatly affects a driver’s judgment, reaction time, and overall ability to operate a vehicle safely, making this a significant factor in road accidents.
