Car Accidents in Michigan

Highways throughout Michigan, including U.S. Highway 127, see heavy traffic each day—especially on weekends and holidays. According to Michigan State Police data, over 293,000 accidents occurred statewide in 2023, and more than 70,000 people were injured as a result. Collisions like this are a reminder of how quickly a routine drive can turn serious.

Here’s a deeper look at how injuries from these accidents can impact long-term health:

• Neck and Back Injuries: Whiplash and spinal disc issues are common in even minor accidents. Victims may experience chronic pain or mobility issues that affect work and personal life. Treatment often includes physical therapy, medication, or surgery in severe cases.
• Burn Injuries: If a vehicle catches fire during or after a crash, victims can suffer burns requiring emergency care and reconstructive procedures. Burn injuries can also lead to long recovery periods and emotional trauma.
• Knee and Joint Injuries: When legs slam into dashboards or doors during impact, joint damage can occur. Torn ligaments or dislocated knees are painful and may require surgical repair. These injuries often cause difficulty walking and standing.
• Psychological Trauma: Many people suffer mental health effects following a traumatic crash. Anxiety, nightmares, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are common and may require professional therapy or medication to manage.
• Crush Injuries: In serious accidents, parts of the body may be trapped under vehicle debris. Crush injuries can lead to internal bleeding, amputations, or permanent disability, requiring extensive medical support.
