Car Accidents in Michigan
Here in Michigan, thousands of car accidents occur each year on our roadways. In 2022 alone, the state saw more than 293,000 reported crashes, resulting in tens of thousands of injuries and over a thousand tragic fatalities. Motor vehicle accidents can lead to major life changes for victims and their families. It is critical to understand your rights and know what steps to take following a crash.
To help Michigan drivers stay aware, here are some key facts about common car accident injuries:
- Back and Neck Injuries: Whiplash and spinal damage are common in car accidents, even at lower speeds. These injuries can cause long-term pain, limited mobility, and the need for ongoing therapy. Getting a full medical evaluation after any crash is vital to identifying these injuries early.
- Head and Brain Trauma: Concussions and traumatic brain injuries often happen when victims hit their heads on dashboards or windows. Symptoms may not show immediately, but can affect memory, speech, and mood. Victims should monitor for signs and follow up with neurologists if needed.
- Broken Bones: The impact from a collision can easily break bones in the arms, legs, ribs, or pelvis. Some fractures require surgery and lengthy recovery times, keeping victims away from work and daily activities. Proper documentation can help when seeking compensation.
- Emotional and Psychological Impact: Beyond physical wounds, many victims develop anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after an accident. These conditions can interfere with driving confidence and daily life. Support groups and therapy can be helpful parts of recovery.
