Car Accidents in Michigan

In Michigan, motor vehicle collisions remain a persistent safety concern. More than 280,000 accidents are reported across the state each year, many involving injuries. Roads such as Fenton Road in cities like Burton see frequent traffic throughout the day, especially during rush hours when rear-end and side-impact crashes are more likely.

Vehicle crashes can lead to many types of injuries. Here's a look at some of the most commonly reported types and their impact:

• Shoulder and Arm Injuries: Impact from the side or front can lead to sprains, fractures, or rotator cuff injuries. These injuries may restrict movement and could require long-term physical therapy or even surgery depending on severity.
• Chest Injuries: Seatbelt trauma and airbag deployment can cause bruising or fractures to the ribs and sternum. These injuries are painful and may limit breathing or mobility during recovery.
• Knee Trauma: Knees can be slammed into dashboards or twisted in unusual angles during impact. These injuries can range from mild sprains to torn ligaments, which may require surgery or extended rehab.
• Lacerations and Bruising: Broken glass, debris, or hard contact surfaces can cause cuts and bruises. While some are minor, others may result in blood loss or scarring that requires cosmetic or emergency treatment.
• Psychological Distress: Emotional trauma such as anxiety, sleep issues, or PTSD can follow even seemingly minor accidents. These conditions are just as real as physical injuries and may require therapy.
