Car Accidents in Michigan

Michigan continues to see thousands of motor vehicle collisions each year, with many of them occurring in urban and suburban areas. According to the Michigan State Police, over 293,000 traffic crashes were reported in 2023 alone. Many of these resulted in injury, and a significant number involved intersections, parking lots, or distracted driving. With high traffic volumes and various driving conditions, residents are urged to stay alert on the roads.

When it comes to vehicle crashes, understanding common causes helps drivers make better decisions on the road. Here are several factors that often contribute to collisions in Michigan:

• Distracted Driving: Using a phone, eating, or interacting with passengers while driving can be extremely dangerous. In Michigan, distracted driving is one of the top contributors to accidents, leading to thousands of crashes annually. Despite public awareness campaigns, this behavior remains widespread.
• Failure to Yield: Many crashes occur when drivers do not yield the right of way, especially at intersections or while merging. This often results from impatience or misjudging another vehicle’s speed and distance. Yield-related accidents can be particularly dangerous in busy areas with heavy cross-traffic.
• Improper Lane Changes: Unsafe lane changes or weaving between lanes without signaling often lead to sideswipe accidents. These types of collisions are frequent on multi-lane roads and highways. Clear signaling and checking blind spots can help reduce these risks.
• Backing Accidents: In crowded parking lots like those near shopping centers, backing accidents are very common. Drivers reversing out of parking spaces may not notice an oncoming vehicle or pedestrian. Taking extra care when backing out can prevent many of these incidents.
