Michigan Auto Accident Statistics


Automobile accidents are very dangerous and may cause serious injury. Video: Attorney Mark Bernstein points out ways to protect your rights after a Michigan auto accident. Although some insurance industry publications try to minimize the impact, the truth about automobile accidents is disturbing: According to the National Safety Council, there are approximately 12 million automobile accidents every year. Approximately 2 million non-fatal, but disabling, injuries occur in automobile accidents every year. Approximately 10% of all automobile accident victims become disabled. Collisions occurring at speeds as low as 5 miles an hour can lead to significant cervical or neck injury. This is true even though there is little to no damage to the motor vehicles in a low speed collision. Even if an accident causes no broken bones, a victim may suffer "soft-tissue" injuries that last for months, or sometimes years. A study reported in the European Spine Journal indicated that 10% of accident victims experienced degenerative bone conditions during the first year after the auto accident .
