Car Accidents in Michigan

Crashes at intersections are unfortunately common across Michigan, especially in suburban communities like Fenton Township. In 2023, the state reported over 282,000 traffic accidents. According to the Michigan State Police, many of these occurred at intersections, where visibility and judgment are key factors. Even seemingly minor crashes can result in painful and lasting injuries for those involved.

When a person is hurt in a crash, their recovery often involves multiple stages. Here are several common types of injuries victims may face after a car accident:

• Whiplash and Neck Injuries: Rapid movement during impact often strains muscles and ligaments in the neck. Whiplash can cause severe pain, stiffness, and limited mobility, lasting for weeks or even longer.
• Back and Spinal Injuries: Accidents can compress or damage the spine, resulting in pain, numbness, or even paralysis. Recovery may require physical therapy, medication, or surgical treatment.
• Broken Bones: The force of impact can easily lead to fractures in arms, legs, or ribs. Healing from broken bones often means extended downtime, especially if surgery is needed.
• Head Injuries: Blunt force trauma can cause concussions or more serious brain injuries. These injuries affect memory, focus, and can disrupt a person’s ability to function daily.
• Soft Tissue Damage: Ligaments, tendons, and muscles can tear or stretch in a crash, causing ongoing pain and limited movement that may take time to fully recover from.
