Car Accidents in Michigan

Michigan experiences thousands of motor vehicle crashes each year, many of which result in injuries or fatalities. According to state crash data, there were over 293,000 traffic accidents reported in 2022. Contributing factors often include speeding, distracted driving, and failure to yield. Incidents like the one in Shelby Township highlight the importance of remaining vigilant on the road.

Several common causes contribute to collisions on Michigan roadways:

• Distracted Driving – The use of mobile devices, adjusting in-car controls, or even eating while driving can take a motorist’s attention away from the road, leading to serious crashes.
• Failure to Yield – Many accidents occur at intersections or when drivers merge into traffic without yielding to the right-of-way. These mistakes can result in side-impact or rear-end collisions.
• Weather Conditions – Rain, snow, and ice increase stopping distances and reduce visibility, making it more difficult to avoid accidents. Drivers should adjust speed and following distance accordingly.
• Speeding – Exceeding the speed limit or driving too fast for road conditions increases the severity of crashes and reduces a driver's ability to react in time to avoid an accident.
• Reckless or Aggressive Driving – Tailgating, improper lane changes, and other aggressive behaviors often contribute to roadway accidents, putting all drivers at risk.
