Car Accidents in Michigan

According to the Michigan State Police, vehicle crashes are a daily occurrence across the state, with thousands of people suffering injuries every year. Urban areas like Flint often experience a higher volume of accidents due to increased traffic, busy intersections, and pedestrian activity. Drivers must remain attentive and defensive to reduce the risk of crashes and protect others on the road.

This type of incident can raise several important legal and medical questions. Here are some common causes of crashes in Michigan:

• Distracted Driving: Using a phone, adjusting a radio, or eating behind the wheel can significantly reduce a driver’s ability to react in time. Distracted driving continues to be one of the top causes of accidents, particularly in busy downtown corridors and intersections.
• Speeding: When drivers exceed posted speed limits, they reduce their ability to stop quickly and increase the severity of collisions. Higher speeds also make it more difficult to maintain control in urban environments where sudden stops are common.
• Failure to Yield or Obey Signals: Running red lights or failing to yield at intersections can lead to T-bone or side-impact collisions. These types of accidents often occur in areas with heavy traffic and are especially dangerous for those sitting on the impacted side.
• Impaired Driving: Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs remains a major factor in Michigan crashes. Impaired drivers have slower reaction times, reduced coordination, and poor judgment, all of which contribute to preventable accidents.
