Common Causes of Car Accidents in Detroit
- Detroit roads see thousands of accidents each year. Our attorneys have handled car accident cases involving:
- Distracted Driving — Texting, phone use, eating, and other distractions are a leading cause of collisions on Detroit roads. Distracted drivers often fail to brake in time or drift into other lanes.
- Speeding — Driving above the speed limit or too fast for conditions significantly increases stopping distance and crash severity. High-speed collisions often result in catastrophic injuries.
- Drunk and Impaired Driving — Intoxicated drivers on Detroit highways endanger everyone on the road. DUI crashes often result in severe injuries and carry potential punitive damages.
- Running Red Lights and Stop Signs — Intersection crashes caused by drivers who blow through red lights or stop signs are among the most violent and dangerous types of collisions.
- Aggressive and Reckless Driving — Tailgating, weaving through traffic, road rage, and other aggressive behaviors create dangerous conditions for all road users.
- Poor Weather Conditions — Rain, fog, and wet roads contribute to loss-of-control crashes. Drivers who fail to adjust their speed for conditions can be held liable.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Detroit
- Call 911 — Report the accident to police. An official police report is critical evidence for your injury claim.
- Check for Injuries — Seek immediate medical attention, even if you feel fine. Adrenaline can mask serious injuries like whiplash, concussions, and internal bleeding.
- Document the Scene — Photograph vehicle damage, road conditions, traffic signals, skid marks, and your injuries. This evidence is invaluable.
- Exchange Information — Get the other driver's name, insurance details, license plate number, and contact information. Collect witness names and phone numbers.
- Don't Admit Fault — Never apologize or accept blame at the scene. Even casual statements like "I'm sorry" can be used against you.

Car Accident Insurance Claims in Michigan
Michigan operates under a No-Fault (PIP required) system. Drivers choose PIP coverage levels; unlimited PIP was historically required but reformed in 2019. Understanding how insurance works in Michigan is essential to maximizing your recovery.
Insurance adjusters are trained professionals whose job is to minimize the company's payout. They may offer you a quick, lowball settlement before you understand the full extent of your injuries. Common tactics include pressuring you to give a recorded statement, claiming your injuries are pre-existing, or suggesting you don't need an attorney.
Our Detroit car accident attorneys know these tactics inside and out. We handle all communication with insurance companies, calculate the true value of your claim including future medical costs and lost earning capacity, and negotiate aggressively for a fair settlement.
Michigan Laws That Affect Your Case
Statute of Limitations
In Michigan, you have a limited time to file your claim: 3 years for personal injury (MCL § 600.5805). Missing this deadline typically means you lose your right to compensation permanently.
“Time is your most valuable asset after an injury. Contact a Detroit attorney immediately to ensure your claim is preserved.”
Modified Comparative Negligence
Michigan follows a modified comparative fault system. You can recover damages only if you are less than 50% at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.
