Car Accidents in Michigan

Thousands of crashes are reported each year in Michigan, and many result in injuries that change lives in an instant. The Michigan State Police consistently warn that factors like distracted driving, speeding, and failing to yield remain top contributors to these accidents. In busy communities, even one moment of inattention can lead to devastating outcomes.

Understanding what to watch for can help drivers reduce risk. Here are a few of the most common causes of crashes:

• Distracted Driving: Texting, eating, or adjusting the radio while driving diverts attention from the road. A few seconds of distraction can lead to rear-end collisions or intersection accidents.
• Speeding: Driving over the speed limit reduces the time a driver has to react. Speeding also increases the severity of injuries when crashes happen.
• Failure to Yield: Many intersection collisions occur when drivers fail to give the right of way. This is especially dangerous for pedestrians and other motorists crossing an intersection legally.
• Weather Conditions: Michigan’s weather can change rapidly. Rain, snow, or icy conditions make roads slippery, increasing the risk of losing control of a vehicle.
• Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol or drugs impair judgment and slow reaction times. Impaired drivers remain a leading cause of serious injury crashes statewide.
