Car Accidents in Michigan

In Michigan, thousands of individuals are injured in motor vehicle accidents each year. Parking lot and restaurant access area crashes, such as this one, are more common than many realize and often involve pedestrians or vehicles backing out without visibility. In 2023, the state saw more than 50,000 injury crashes, many of which occurred in local business districts or commercial areas.

Recovering after an accident can be difficult, especially when the crash occurs in a busy area. Here are some of the unique challenges people face following incidents like this one:

• Limited Visibility in Parking Areas: Accidents often occur when drivers back out of parking spots or turn too quickly near entryways. Low-speed collisions can still result in injuries, particularly to pedestrians or cyclists.
• Pedestrian Involvement: Crashes near restaurants and shopping centers frequently involve pedestrians walking to or from the building. Even at slow speeds, these accidents can cause broken bones, sprains, or worse.
• Insurance Confusion: In business-area crashes, multiple policies may be in play—driver’s insurance, business liability coverage, or commercial auto insurance if delivery vehicles are involved. Sorting through these can delay claims.
• Witness Availability: While there may be many people nearby, it can be hard to find willing or available witnesses once the immediate chaos clears. Quick action is important to document the scene and gather statements.
• Ongoing Pain from Injuries: Even if the crash seems minor, victims may experience lingering pain or reduced mobility. Whiplash and muscle strains can take weeks or months to heal and may require therapy or medication.
