Car Accidents in Michigan

Detroit, MI - Crash Reported on John C Lodge Fwy Near W Warren AveEvery year in Michigan, freeway collisions account for thousands of injuries due to high speeds and dense traffic. According to state data, more than 70,000 people were injured in vehicle crashes in 2023. Urban areas like Detroit often see a higher concentration of these incidents, particularly near freeway interchanges and busy avenues.

Crashes on high-speed roadways bring about unique challenges. Here's what victims should be aware of in the aftermath:

  • Sudden Medical Emergencies Post-Crash: Head trauma or internal injuries may not show symptoms right away. People involved in freeway collisions should be medically evaluated—even if they feel okay immediately following the crash.
  • Complicated Crash Scenes: Freeway accidents often involve multiple vehicles and lanes, requiring rapid coordination by police and emergency crews. Evidence can quickly be lost in the chaos, making it essential to document as much as possible.
  • High Vehicle Damage: Collisions at freeway speeds frequently result in severe property damage. Victims may face lengthy repairs, total vehicle loss, and insurance delays.
  • Increased Risk of Secondary Accidents: When vehicles remain in traffic lanes or shoulders, they are vulnerable to being struck again. First responders must secure the scene quickly to prevent further harm.
  • Legal Complexity and Fault Disputes: Determining who is at fault in freeway collisions can be complicated. With multiple parties involved, legal disputes often arise. Having proper legal representation is essential to navigating the process effectively.
  • Limited Witness Availability: Unlike city streets, freeway crashes may not have nearby witnesses. Surveillance footage and traffic cams become critical, but quick action is needed to secure those records.
