Car Accidents in Michigan

Michigan consistently sees a high number of car crashes each year, with many resulting in injury. State traffic data indicates that injury crashes account for a substantial portion of the over 250,000 total accidents reported annually. Drivers and passengers often suffer significant physical and financial burdens after these collisions. Understanding the risks and how to handle the aftermath is crucial.

One major issue for crash victims is dealing with injuries. Here's a closer look at some of the most commonly reported ones:

• Whiplash and Neck Strain: Sudden force from a collision can cause the neck to snap back and forth, injuring soft tissues and muscles. These injuries may take time to fully present, and without timely treatment, can become chronic.
• Broken Bones and Fractures: High-impact crashes often lead to broken arms, legs, or ribs. Recovery can take months and may require surgery or physical therapy. In some cases, victims may lose mobility or function.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the spinal cord can be life-changing. Depending on severity, individuals may experience partial or complete paralysis. Immediate medical attention and ongoing rehabilitation are critical for managing long-term outcomes.
• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Head trauma from a collision may lead to concussions or more serious brain injuries. Symptoms can range from headaches and dizziness to memory loss and cognitive issues. These types of injuries often require extended care.
• Internal Injuries: The force of a crash can damage organs even without visible wounds. These injuries can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated quickly. Signs are not always immediately obvious, so thorough medical checks are important.
