Car Accidents in Michigan

Motor vehicle crashes are a common occurrence across Michigan, with over 280,000 reported in recent years. More than a quarter of those involve injuries, ranging from minor to life-changing. Heavily trafficked areas such as shopping centers and business corridors, including locations like South Center Road in Burton, often see a higher risk for collisions during peak hours.

Accidents are often unpredictable, and understanding the common contributing factors can help people stay alert. Here are a few of the most frequent causes:

• Driver Inattention: Distractions like texting, eating, or adjusting the radio contribute to a large number of crashes. Even a brief distraction can have serious consequences, especially in busy areas like retail parking lots or intersections.
• Following Too Closely: Tailgating doesn’t allow enough time to react if a driver suddenly brakes. Rear-end collisions are especially common in stop-and-go traffic and can result in injuries like whiplash or back pain.
• Failing to Yield: Drivers not yielding the right-of-way at stop signs or driveways can cause side-impact collisions. These accidents are more dangerous due to limited protection on the sides of vehicles.
• Improper Lane Changes: Failing to signal, check blind spots, or observe traffic rules while switching lanes often leads to accidents. These can happen suddenly and result in significant damage.
• Impaired Driving: Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs impairs judgment and reflexes. These crashes are not only preventable but often result in serious injuries or fatalities.
