Car Accidents in Michigan

Each year, thousands of motorcyclists in Michigan face serious risks when sharing the road with larger vehicles. Crashes like the one on westbound Interstate 696 can happen in an instant and often lead to significant injuries for motorcycle riders, who have little protection in a collision. While drivers are urged to watch for motorcycles and check blind spots carefully, accidents caused by inattentive or following-too-closely drivers remain all too common.

It’s important to recognize the dangers motorcyclists face and what makes these crashes so severe:

• Lack of Protection: Unlike drivers in cars or trucks, motorcyclists are fully exposed to direct impact, making even low-speed crashes potentially life-threatening.
• Visibility Issues: Motorcycles can easily be overlooked by distracted or careless drivers, especially in heavy traffic or at night.
• Severe Injuries: Head trauma, broken bones, and road rash are common in motorcycle crashes, often requiring lengthy hospital stays, surgeries, and rehabilitation.
• Medical Expenses: The cost of treating motorcycle injuries can be overwhelming, with victims sometimes unable to return to work for extended periods.
• Emotional Recovery: The psychological impact of a motorcycle crash can include PTSD, anxiety, or fear of riding again.
