Car Accidents in Michigan

Michigan sees a high volume of vehicle crashes each year, with more than 293,000 reported in 2023. These incidents result in thousands of injuries and often lead to lasting consequences for those involved. Many crashes happen along major highways like Interstate 75, where traffic density and speed increase the likelihood of serious accidents.

One important issue that can arise in these crashes is related to the causes behind them. Below are several common causes of vehicle accidents in Michigan:

• Distracted Driving: Using a phone, eating, adjusting controls, or even talking to passengers can take a driver’s focus off the road. Even a moment’s distraction can lead to a serious crash, especially at high speeds or in heavy traffic zones.
• Speeding: Driving too fast reduces the driver’s ability to react in time. It also increases the severity of any collision. Speed limits are posted for a reason, and going above them is one of the leading contributors to injury crashes in Michigan.
• Reckless or Aggressive Driving: Following too closely, weaving through traffic, or road rage behaviors can all lead to avoidable collisions. These behaviors put everyone at risk, including pedestrians and other cautious drivers.
• Poor Weather Conditions: Rain, ice, and snow are regular challenges on Michigan roads. When drivers don’t adjust their speed or driving behavior in bad weather, the chances of losing control or hitting another vehicle climb significantly.
• Driver Fatigue: Falling asleep at the wheel or even being drowsy reduces reaction times and awareness. Long drives or overnight trips without breaks often result in severe accidents.
