I-94 and I-75: Metro Detroit's Most Dangerous Highways
If you drive in Metro Detroit, you know I-94 and I-75. These two interstate highways carry hundreds of thousands of vehicles daily through the heart of southeastern Michigan, and they consistently rank among the most dangerous roads in the state. Koussan Law handles a significant volume of cases originating from crashes on these corridors.
I-75 Accident Hotspots
I-75 runs from the Ohio border through downtown Detroit and north to the Mackinac Bridge. The deadliest stretch runs from the I-75/I-94 interchange downtown through the northern suburbs. Key danger zones include the I-696 interchange in Hazel Park and Ferndale, the I-75/M-59 interchange in Pontiac, and the construction zones that seem to be permanent fixtures on this highway. Highway accidents on I-75 regularly involve semi-trucks, multi-vehicle pileups, and high-speed rear-end collisions causing spinal injuries and whiplash.
I-94 Accident Patterns
I-94 cuts east-west through Metro Detroit, connecting Ann Arbor to Port Huron. The stretch through Detroit, Dearborn, and the Downriver communities carries enormous truck traffic. The I-94/I-96/M-10 interchange — known locally as "the malfunction junction" — is one of the most accident-prone interchanges in Michigan. Speed differentials between merging and through traffic create daily collision risks.
Why Interstate Accident Claims Are Complex
Interstate accidents often involve multiple vehicles, commercial carriers with corporate legal teams, disputed liability, and severe injuries. Fractures, internal organ damage, and traumatic brain injuries are common at highway speeds. Koussan Law works with accident reconstruction experts to establish liability and maximize recovery.
