Car Accidents in Michigan

Michigan’s freeway system sees thousands of vehicle crashes every year, particularly in metro areas like Detroit. In 2023 alone, more than 282,000 motor vehicle accidents were recorded statewide, with a large number occurring on high-speed roadways. The Michigan State Police routinely warn that freeway crashes are more likely to involve serious injuries due to the speeds and volume of traffic.

Crashes on interstates often come with several challenges. Below is a breakdown of potential legal concerns following a freeway collision:

• Multiple Party Involvement: Freeway crashes frequently involve more than two vehicles. Determining fault can become complicated, especially with chain-reaction collisions or commercial trucks involved.
• Jurisdictional Overlap: Freeways may fall under local, county, or state authority. This can affect how reports are filed and which agencies take the lead in the investigation and response.
• Insurance Coverage Disputes: High-value claims can lead to disputes between insurers, especially when multiple vehicles or commercial carriers are involved. Victims may face delays in compensation.
• Severity of Injuries: Higher speeds often result in more severe injuries, requiring more extensive medical care and long-term recovery. This increases the potential for larger claims and longer legal processes.
• Evidence Collection: Gathering surveillance footage, dashcam video, or witness statements is crucial on busy roadways. Evidence can quickly be lost without immediate legal action.
