Car Accidents in Michigan

Car accidents remain one of the leading causes of injury across Michigan. Each year, tens of thousands of crashes occur on Michigan’s roadways, with many leading to serious injuries or fatalities. According to state data, Michigan averages over 250,000 vehicle crashes annually, with more than 50,000 involving injury. Factors like distracted driving, speeding, and poor road conditions contribute to these numbers.

Understanding the aftermath of a crash can be overwhelming. Below are several common types of injuries that result from vehicle accidents:

• Whiplash and Soft Tissue Injuries: Whiplash is among the most common injuries in crashes, especially rear-end collisions. The sudden jerking motion of the neck can damage muscles and ligaments, causing long-term discomfort. Even minor accidents can result in persistent soft tissue pain.
• Fractures and Broken Bones: Bones in the arms, legs, ribs, or face may fracture during a crash, especially when the impact is severe. Recovery times vary, and more serious fractures may require surgery or physical therapy. These injuries can also impact daily mobility and quality of life.
• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): TBIs can range from concussions to more severe brain trauma. They may occur when the head strikes a window, dashboard, or airbag. Even a mild TBI can lead to memory problems, mood changes, and cognitive impairments that affect long-term functioning.
• Back and Spinal Cord Injuries: Back injuries are common and may include herniated discs or, in extreme cases, spinal cord damage. These injuries can be permanent and may result in partial or full paralysis, depending on the severity and location of the damage.
• Lacerations and Contusions: Shattered glass and metal debris can lead to cuts and bruises. While some may seem superficial, others can require stitches or surgery, especially if nerves or muscles are affected. Deep lacerations also pose a risk of infection or scarring.
