Car Accidents in Michigan

According to the Michigan State Police, there were more than 280,000 motor vehicle crashes across the state in a recent year. Out of those, tens of thousands resulted in injury. Michigan’s roadways, particularly near major interstates like I-75, often see high traffic volumes that increase the risk of accidents. Motorists are urged to drive cautiously, especially during peak hours and in construction zones.

Understanding the types of injuries that can occur in crashes can be helpful in identifying how to seek the right support. Here’s a closer look at some common injury outcomes:

• Whiplash and Neck Injuries: One of the most frequent injuries in crashes is whiplash. Caused by the rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck, it can result in lasting discomfort and may require physical therapy to fully recover.
• Head and Brain Injuries: A blow to the head can lead to concussions or more severe traumatic brain injuries. Symptoms might not always appear right away, so it’s critical to seek medical attention after any head trauma, even if it seems mild.
• Back Injuries and Herniated Discs: Back injuries can affect mobility and lead to long-term pain. Collisions can jar the spine or compress discs, which may not be evident until hours or days after a crash.
• Fractures and Broken Bones: From arms and legs to ribs and facial bones, fractures are common in higher-speed crashes. Some may require surgery or long-term casting to properly heal.
• Soft Tissue Injuries: Muscles, ligaments, and tendons can be overstretched or torn during an accident. These injuries may not always be visible but can cause significant pain and limit movement.
