Car Accidents in Michigan

Each year in Michigan, thousands of people are injured on highways like Interstate 94. In 2023, the state recorded over 280,000 motor vehicle crashes, with more than 50,000 resulting in injuries. Accidents on high-speed corridors often result in severe consequences due to increased velocity and heavy traffic volumes.

Understanding the impact of these highway crashes can help victims prepare for what lies ahead. Here are a few key consequences many face after being involved in such an incident:

• Emergency Room Visits and Ongoing Care: Injuries often require immediate treatment followed by specialist care. From imaging tests to surgeries, the road to recovery can be long and expensive—especially for those without comprehensive insurance.
• Disruptions to Work and Income: Many victims must take time off work, and some may not be able to return at all. Loss of income can put serious financial strain on families already burdened with medical costs and vehicle damage.
• Legal Complexities with Multiple Vehicles: Interstate crashes frequently involve more than two vehicles. Determining liability becomes more complicated, making legal support critical to establishing fault and seeking compensation.
• Long-Term Physical Limitations: Some injuries leave lasting effects. From chronic back pain to mobility issues, these conditions can alter a person’s lifestyle and independence for years.
• Stress and Anxiety Following the Crash: The emotional trauma of being in a high-speed collision can be significant. It may lead to difficulty driving again or even post-traumatic stress symptoms requiring therapy.
