Car Accidents in Michigan

Here in Michigan, car accidents are a daily concern across cities and highways. The Michigan State Police report over 282,000 traffic crashes in 2023, with more than 50,000 injuries and over 1,100 fatalities. The most frequent contributing factors include distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield. These numbers highlight the importance of continued education and enforcement to improve driver safety and reduce harm on the roads.

Below are important insights about the kinds of injuries often associated with car crashes:

• Soft Tissue Injuries: Sprains, bruises, and strains can seem minor at first but often worsen over time. These injuries affect muscles, ligaments, and tendons, and may limit mobility or lead to chronic pain.
• Broken Bones: Broken ribs, arms, or legs are common in high-impact crashes. Depending on the break, surgery and months of rehab may be necessary to regain function and independence.
• Spinal Damage: Even low-speed collisions can cause whiplash or other spinal misalignments. More serious injuries may impact the spinal cord and could result in lasting complications.
• Internal Injuries: Internal bleeding or damage to organs like the lungs, spleen, or liver can occur without visible signs. These injuries are dangerous and need urgent medical attention.
• Psychological Trauma: Beyond the physical injuries, victims may experience post-traumatic stress, anxiety, or depression. Emotional support is a key part of the recovery process.
