Car Accidents in Michigan

Motor vehicle accidents are an unfortunate daily reality on Michigan roadways. From interstates to local roads, accidents can happen suddenly and result in lasting harm. According to state reports, Michigan sees nearly 300,000 crashes each year, and more than a quarter involve injuries.

When accidents happen, they can lead to more than just physical harm. Here's a look at some of the long-term effects victims may face:

• Lost Income and Earning Potential: Many injury victims are forced to miss work, whether for days, weeks, or permanently. In more severe cases, the ability to return to a previous job may be impossible, resulting in long-term financial hardship.
• Medical Expenses: Even with insurance, treatment costs can pile up fast. From emergency room visits to physical therapy, ongoing care often becomes a heavy burden for victims and their families.
• Chronic Pain and Mobility Issues: Accidents can lead to long-lasting physical limitations. Victims may require mobility aids or long-term rehabilitation, impacting their ability to enjoy everyday life.
• Emotional and Psychological Trauma: Beyond physical injuries, the trauma from an accident can linger for years. Anxiety, depression, and PTSD are common outcomes that often go untreated but greatly affect a person’s well-being.
• Damage to Personal Property: Vehicles and other belongings are often significantly damaged or totaled. While property can be replaced, the financial impact can still be significant, especially when insurance coverage is limited.
