Car accidents in Michigan

In 2022 alone, Michigan saw more than 293,000 car accidents on its roads. Unfortunately, many of these accidents resulted in injuries to those involved. Being injured in a car accident can have a significant and lasting impact on your life. All too often, victims of these collisions suffer serious injuries such as head trauma, internal organ damage, broken bones, and other conditions that can change their lives forever.

Every year there are a large number of car accidents on our roads that can have serious consequences for those involved. The most common types of accidents include:

• Intersection crashes: These occur when vehicles collide at intersections, often because they run a red light or fail to yield. These accidents can result in serious injuries because the vehicles may be traveling at high speeds.

• Uber and Lyft Accidents: As ride-sharing services became more widespread, accidents involving these vehicles became more common. Passengers, drivers and other road users can be equally affected when a rideshare vehicle is involved in a collision.

• T-bone crashes (broadside collisions): This type of accident occurs when a vehicle hits another vehicle from the side, typically at intersections. T-bone accidents can be particularly dangerous for the occupants of the vehicle struck.

• Accidents caused by side wipers: These occur when two vehicles traveling in the same direction come into contact, often due to lane changes without proper signaling. Although they may seem minor, sideswipe accidents can result in significant damage and injury.

• Collisions during road construction work: When road construction work becomes necessary, hazardous conditions can arise in construction zones. Drivers can be surprised by sudden lane changes or reduced speed limits, which can lead to accidents.

• Accidents under the influence of alcohol/impaired driving: Driving a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs remains one of the most common causes of accidents. These incidents not only endanger the driver, but also endanger all other road users.
