Car Accidents in Michigan

Motor vehicle accidents remain a leading cause of injury across Michigan. According to the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning, more than 70,000 injuries are reported annually as a result of traffic-related incidents. Weather conditions, distracted driving, and traffic volume often play a role in these incidents. Many crash victims must deal with not only physical pain but also time away from work and financial hardship.

When it comes to vehicle crashes, there are several key safety issues Michigan residents should be aware of:

• Distracted Driving Risks: Texting, using in-vehicle technology, or even talking with passengers can divert attention from the road. In Michigan, distracted driving is a growing concern, with thousands of crashes attributed to it every year. Staying alert and limiting distractions is one of the most effective ways to reduce risk.
• Seatbelt Usage: Although seatbelt use is required by law, some drivers and passengers still fail to buckle up. Data shows that seatbelts dramatically reduce the chance of serious injury or death in a crash. Wearing one every time you ride or drive is a simple step that saves lives.
• Nighttime Driving Hazards: Reduced visibility, fatigue, and impaired drivers are more common at night. Crashes are statistically more likely to be severe after dark. Slowing down and staying alert in low-light conditions can help prevent nighttime accidents.
• High-Risk Intersections: Intersections are one of the most common locations for crashes in Michigan. Drivers should remain cautious when entering intersections, even with the right of way. Many serious injury accidents happen when vehicles run red lights or fail to yield.
• Speeding and Reckless Driving: Exceeding the speed limit or aggressive behaviors like tailgating drastically increase the chance of an accident. Michigan law enforces penalties for such actions, but prevention begins with driver responsibility.
