Car Accidents in Michigan

Every year, thousands of people are injured on Michigan roads, with many accidents occurring at busy intersections just like this one. In 2023 alone, the state recorded over 50,000 intersection-related crashes, often caused by distracted or reckless driving. Even the most cautious drivers can find themselves caught up in a collision due to another person’s poor choices.

It’s important to be aware of some of the main causes behind intersection crashes:

• Failure to Stop: Drivers running red lights or stop signs pose a significant risk to everyone on the road. These dangerous actions can lead to high-impact T-bone or side-impact collisions.
• Improper Turns: Many accidents happen when drivers make turns without yielding or misjudge oncoming traffic. Miscommunication between drivers at intersections is a common factor in crashes.
• Distracted Driving: Using a phone, eating, or adjusting in-car controls takes a driver’s attention off the road. Just a moment of distraction at an intersection can result in a serious crash.
• Aggressive Driving: Speeding through yellow lights or tailgating another vehicle can escalate into a collision when traffic patterns shift quickly at intersections.
• Pedestrian Right-of-Way Violations: Not yielding to pedestrians crossing the street is another frequent cause of accidents, often resulting in injuries to both vehicle occupants and pedestrians.
