Car Accidents in Michigan

Accidents in Michigan continue to occur at a high rate, with more than 293,000 collisions reported across the state in 2023. These incidents resulted in over 70,000 injuries and took place on roads ranging from major highways to smaller city intersections like Genesee Avenue and Thompson Street in Saginaw.

When crashes happen, the recovery process often includes both physical and emotional components. Here are a few emotional effects that many crash victims may experience:

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): A crash can trigger intense anxiety, flashbacks, or nightmares. Victims with PTSD may avoid driving or feel panicked near roads. Professional therapy is often needed to address these symptoms and help victims regain control.
• Anxiety Behind the Wheel: Even without full-blown PTSD, many survivors feel nervous when driving again. They may fear another crash, especially in similar settings to the one they experienced. This can impact daily routines, employment, and social activities.
• Mood Changes and Irritability: Injury, pain, and stress may cause emotional instability. Victims might feel more impatient, withdrawn, or frustrated—especially when dealing with recovery and insurance issues. These feelings are common but often misunderstood.
• Depression: Being unable to return to work or participate in usual activities can lead to depression. Long-term injuries may cause victims to feel isolated or lose interest in things they once enjoyed. Support from counselors and loved ones is crucial.
• Sleep Disturbances: Trouble sleeping is often reported after a crash. Nightmares, pain, or worry can interrupt rest and make recovery more difficult. Addressing both the physical and psychological effects of a crash is vital for full healing.
