Car Accidents in Michigan

Here in Michigan, highway crashes remain a significant issue. In 2023, the state saw over 280,000 crashes, many occurring on major freeways like Interstate 69 and Interstate 475. These high-speed areas increase the risk of injury due to the force of impact and the volume of traffic.

If you’ve been involved in a crash on a major highway, there are several key issues to keep in mind. Here are some important elements often faced by victims after highway collisions:

• High-Speed Impact: Accidents at highway speeds tend to cause more severe injuries, including fractures, head trauma, or spinal cord injuries. The faster the vehicles are moving, the greater the potential for long-term damage.
• Secondary Collisions: Freeway accidents often lead to secondary crashes as drivers try to brake or swerve around stopped vehicles. This increases the risk for multiple injuries and complex claims involving several parties.
• Emergency Lane Blockage: Crashes that block one or more lanes can make it difficult for ambulances or fire trucks to reach the scene. Delayed response times may affect treatment and outcomes for those injured.
• Multi-Vehicle Claims: Highway crashes often involve multiple vehicles. Sorting out liability in these situations can be complex and typically requires the help of legal professionals.
• Involvement of Commercial Vehicles: When semis or delivery trucks are involved, the stakes rise. These vehicles are often insured by large carriers that may aggressively contest claims to limit their financial exposure.
