Car Accidents in Michigan

Every year, thousands of people are injured in vehicle accidents across Michigan. In 2023, the state saw more than 282,000 reported crashes, with over 50,000 involving injuries. According to the Michigan State Police, many of these incidents are tied to driver negligence, ranging from distracted driving to speeding and improper lane use.

Following a crash, many individuals are left facing long-lasting effects. Here are a few areas often impacted:

• Ongoing Medical Costs: Many accident victims require more than a single hospital visit. Ongoing treatments, physical therapy, and prescriptions can continue for months. These costs can quickly add up, creating financial strain even for those with insurance.
• Vehicle Repair or Replacement: Crashes often leave vehicles damaged or totaled. Dealing with insurance companies to repair or replace your car can be time-consuming and frustrating, especially if fault is disputed.
• Emotional and Mental Health: Survivors of accidents may experience mental health challenges such as anxiety, panic attacks, or difficulty sleeping. In some cases, counseling or therapy is needed to process the trauma and begin recovery.
• Disrupted Family Life: Injuries and stress from a crash can affect an entire household. Missed work, caregiver responsibilities, and transportation issues often fall on other family members, creating ripple effects that last far beyond the day of the accident.
• Uncertain Recovery Timelines: Some injuries take weeks or even months to fully heal. Victims may be unable to work or resume daily activities, and recovery can be slower than expected depending on the severity of injuries.
