Car Accidents in Michigan

Vehicle collisions occur daily in Michigan, whether on highways, side streets, or even in parking lots. According to state data, there were over 290,000 crashes reported in Michigan in 2022. Even low-speed collisions, such as those in parking areas, can lead to injuries or expensive property damage.

Parking lot crashes can raise unique concerns for those involved. Here's a look at some key considerations specific to these types of incidents:

• Confusing Right-of-Way Rules: Unlike traditional intersections, parking lots often lack clear signage and traffic control. Many drivers are unsure who has the right of way, leading to misjudgments and unexpected crashes.
• Low Visibility Around Parked Vehicles: Cars backing out of tight spots or maneuvering between tall vehicles can block the view of oncoming traffic. These visibility issues increase the chances of collisions, especially in busy lots.
• Pedestrian Hazards: Shoppers walking between vehicles or across the lot may not be seen in time. Even a slow-moving car can cause serious injuries to a pedestrian caught off guard.
• Distraction Behind the Wheel: Drivers in parking areas may be checking their phones, looking for parking spots, or dealing with children and passengers. These distractions significantly increase the likelihood of minor accidents.
• Insurance Complications: Because fault is sometimes harder to determine in parking lot crashes, insurance claims can be delayed or denied. It’s important to document the scene, gather witness statements, and consult an attorney if needed.
