Car Accidents in Michigan

Vehicle crashes remain a persistent problem across Michigan. According to the Michigan State Police, more than 282,000 crashes were reported in 2023 alone, with over 50,000 resulting in injuries and more than 1,100 fatalities. Intersections such as 22 Mile Road and Gratiot Avenue are common sites for collisions, particularly during high-traffic hours. Speed, distracted driving, and misjudgment of signals are often contributing factors.

It's important to understand how multi-vehicle and high-impact accidents can result in serious injuries. Below are some common outcomes and why medical and legal support are crucial:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Head impacts, even with airbags deployed, can result in TBIs. These injuries can range from mild concussions to severe brain damage and often require long-term treatment.
• Internal Bleeding: Accidents with intense force can cause damage to organs or blood vessels. These injuries may not be visible initially but can become life-threatening without immediate medical attention.
• Crushed or Fractured Limbs: High-speed or multi-vehicle crashes often lead to broken bones, especially in the arms, legs, or chest area. These can require surgery, rehab, and may affect a person's ability to work or care for themselves.
• Emotional and Psychological Effects: Many victims suffer from anxiety, depression, or PTSD following a traumatic accident. Mental health is just as important as physical recovery and should not be overlooked.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the spine or nervous system can result in partial or full paralysis. These cases often involve lifelong medical care and assistive technology to manage daily life.

If you or someone close to you has been hurt in a crash, it’s important to speak with a car accident attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights and begin exploring your options for recovery.
