Monroe auto accident attorney finds Front Street and Telegraph Road lead in Monroe car accidents

My first trial was in Monroe when I was a first-year baby lawyer (technically, it wasn’t a trial, since the insurance company offered its full policy limits when we started picking a jury for my client). And I always think about that when I walk into the Monroe courthouse. I’ve spent hundreds of hours helping people in Monroe, Toledo, and surrounding areas who’ve been hurt in car and mostly truck accidents from I-75 in the past 20 years.

Auto accident lawyer gives dangerous roads and most common times and occurrences for crashes in Genesee County

Genesee County has ranked first statewide in accidents in which one of the drivers had been drinking and someone was killed or seriously injured. That means drivers in Flint, Michigan and Genesee are more likely to have been drinking when they’re killed or seriously injured in traffic accidents than anywhere else in Michigan.

Car accident lawyer says Huron Street and Telegraph have the highest number of crashes, and warns drivers of treacherous roads

I spend a lot of time in Monroe, Michigan. There’s a lot of truck traffic coming from and going to Toledo through Monroe, and earlier this year, I wrote about a serious Monroe motorcycle accident case that almost went to trial before the insurance company for the Defendant decided to settle. In short, there’s a lot of congestion and car accidents in Monroe, probably far more than most people would ordinarily think. Plus, there’s the outlet off of I-75and US-23 shoots through Monroe County.  Oh, and did I mention the construction lately?

Car accident attorney says Huron Street as well as Telegraph Road have the highest number of crashes

Pontiac, Michigan is the seat of Oakland County, and unfortunately, this busy traffic area is the host of many car accidents. From the Woodward Loop to Dixie Highway and Huron Street, it’s not uncommon for Pontiac commuters and shoppers to become distracted while driving and get in crashes.

Our attorneys have handed many car accident cases from the Pontiac area. We want to share these dangerous intersections and roads with you, so hopefully, we never have to see you. Please take heed at the following areas. Slow down, don’t use your cell phones and always drive defensively.

12 Mile Road and Dequindre & 11 Mile Road and Van Dyke have highest number of car accidents for 2009

Today wraps up my yearly series sharing the most dangerous intersections in Southeast Michigan, compliments of SEMCOG’s list of the 10 intersections in Southeast Michigan with the highest number of car accidents for 2009. Obviously, no one can 100 percent avoid being involved in a car accident, but hopefully we can all lower the likelihood by avoiding these dangerous spots or at the very least, exercising more care. Last but not least on my list are a couple of particularly treacherous intersections in Warren, which is located in Macomb County, Michigan.

11 Mile Road West and Southfield Road & 12 Mile Road West and Telegraph Road make the list with the highest number of car accidents in 2009

My series of the worst intersections in Southeast Michigan continues today with dangerous car accident traps in Southfield, Michigan. Southfield is home to a bustling business district, with the Traveler’s Tower, the Southfield Town Center, and several other high-rise commercial office buildings. Combine all of the commuters speeding around with lots of strip mall shopping and subdivisions and you get traffic - lots of it.

West 12 Mile and Orchard Lake Road & West 14 Mile and Orchard Lake Road make the list with the highest number of car accidents in 2009

Farmington Hills is now home to some of the worst rush hour traffic in all of Oakland County. I know this personally because after 35 years in the Travelers Tower, Michigan Auto Law just moved our law offices to 30101 Northwestern Highway in Farmington Hills. Now I have the pleasure of dealing with simultaneous construction traffic on Telegraph, 12 Mile, 13 Mile, and Orchard Lake Road in my daily commute.

Ford Road and Haggerty Road & Canton Center Road and Ford Road lead the list with highest number of  car accidents in 2009

With 18 lawyers handling only serious car accidents and truck accidents throughout Michigan, we see hundreds of preventable crashes each year. Unfortunately, certain locations produce more auto accidents than others year after year. So annually, I share the most dangerous intersections hoping that readers, friends and clients share this information in turn.

If you’re an Oakland County resident, chances are you’re often caught in the torrential rush hour traffic that accompanies the thriving businesses in cities like Southfield and Farmington Hills. But before you put the pedal to the metal, keep in mind the number of car accidents that have happened at some of Oakland County’s most dangerous intersections.

In a report called Southeast Michigan Traffic Crash Facts 2007, the Southeastern Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG) listed four intersections to be cautious around. And with a total of 1,710 car accidents in Oakland County over the last five years, the personal injury lawyers of Michigan Auto Law want to help protect you.

Driving on the east side of metro Detroit any time soon? You might want to take extra caution approaching the intersection at 11 Mile Road and Van Dyke Avenue. According to a report by the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG), more than 650 car accidents occurred there from 2003 to 2007. Read on for more treacherous intersections in the area.
