Car Accidents in Michigan

Each year, thousands of people are injured in vehicle crashes throughout Michigan. With more than 70,000 injury-related crashes reported in the state annually, car accidents remain a persistent threat. Urban centers like Flint often see increased accident rates due to congestion, driver error, and hazardous road conditions.

Understanding what leads to these incidents can help create awareness and reduce risk. Below are some of the common causes of motor vehicle crashes in Michigan:

• Distracted Driving: From texting to eating behind the wheel, distractions continue to rank among the top causes of crashes. These behaviors take attention away from the road, increasing the chances of missing traffic signals, drifting lanes, or rear-ending another driver.
• Speeding: Driving above the posted limit reduces reaction time and makes it more difficult to stop safely. Higher speeds also increase the severity of collisions, especially in pedestrian-heavy areas or at intersections.
• Impaired Driving: Alcohol and drugs, even some prescription medications, can severely impair a driver’s judgment and coordination. Despite laws aimed at reducing impaired driving, it remains a serious problem across Michigan.
• Reckless Maneuvers: Running red lights, aggressive lane changes, and tailgating all fall under reckless driving. These behaviors create dangerous scenarios and can lead to multi-car pileups or high-speed collisions.
• Inclement Weather: Snow, fog, and rain can limit visibility and reduce tire traction. Michigan’s changing seasons often contribute to weather-related crashes, especially during winter and early spring.
