Car Accidents in Michigan

Michigan sees thousands of motor vehicle accidents each year, many of which result in injuries. According to data from the Michigan State Police, in a recent year, there were over 245,000 reported crashes statewide, with more than 51,000 involving injuries. These collisions can happen for many reasons, from driver error to road conditions and mechanical failures.

One major factor in Michigan accidents is distracted driving. Here are some common distractions that contribute to crashes:

1. Cell Phone Use – Texting, calling, or using apps while driving can take a driver's focus off the road, increasing the risk of a crash. Even hands-free devices can cause cognitive distractions.
2. Passenger Distractions – Conversations with passengers, particularly for young or inexperienced drivers, can reduce reaction times and lead to accidents.
3. Eating or Drinking – Taking hands off the wheel to eat or drink may seem harmless, but it can reduce a driver's control of the vehicle.
4. Adjusting Controls – Changing the radio, climate controls, or GPS while driving can divert attention and lead to dangerous situations.
5. Daydreaming or Drowsy Driving – Losing focus due to fatigue or distraction is one of the leading causes of crashes, as it delays reaction time.
