Car Accidents in Michigan

In 2023, Michigan experienced more than 293,000 vehicle crashes, with over 70,000 reported injuries, according to state data. Accidents at intersections like 13 Mile Road and Utica Road are especially common, where traffic flow from multiple directions increases the risk of impact. Macomb County roads often experience heavy traffic, and collisions involving larger vehicles like pickups or SUVs can result in serious outcomes.

Injuries can vary based on vehicle type, position during the crash, and whether seatbelts were used. Here's a breakdown of what crash victims may face during recovery:

• Back and Spine Injuries: The impact from a crash can place sudden force on the spinal column. Victims may suffer herniated discs, fractured vertebrae, or long-term nerve issues. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent, and untreated damage can worsen over time.
• Facial Injuries: Airbag deployment, glass shattering, or direct contact with the steering wheel can lead to cuts, bruises, or broken bones in the face. These injuries may require stitches, reconstructive surgery, or leave lasting scars.
• Burn Injuries: While rare, burns can occur when fires or chemical leaks result from a crash. Even superficial burns may require ongoing care, and more serious burns may lead to long-term disability.
• Internal Bleeding: Internal injuries are not always obvious at the scene but can become life-threatening. Damage to organs such as the liver, kidneys, or lungs may require surgery and extensive monitoring.
• Shoulder and Arm Injuries: Drivers and passengers often brace for impact, which can cause rotator cuff tears or broken arms. These types of injuries can be painful and significantly limit a person’s ability to work or complete daily tasks.
