Highway Accidents in Michigan
Highway accidents, particularly on I-475 and I-69, often involve higher speeds, multiple vehicles, and complex crash dynamics. Some of the leading causes of highway collisions include:
- Speeding – Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases crash severity.
- Distracted Driving – Looking away from the road for even a second can result in serious accidents.
- Unsafe Lane Changes – Failing to check blind spots or signal properly can lead to side-swipe crashes.
- Drowsy Driving – Long-distance or late-night travel increases fatigue-related crashes.
Victims of highway accidents often suffer from whiplash, fractures, spinal cord injuries, or concussions, requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation. Injured individuals may be able to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering if another party’s negligence contributed to the accident.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a crash, seeking professional guidance can help ensure you receive the necessary support and financial compensation for recovery.
