A Northern Michigan car accident has resulted in the death of an Arcadia man.  Palmerino Farina, 78, died on March 26, 2009 following a March 24 car accident on Northwood Highway in Arcadia Township.  The accident happened when Palmerino Farina lost control of his vehicle while negotiating a turn and hit some trees.  No one else was in the vehicle.

I am very sorry for the Farina family’s loss.  I want to express my sincere sympathies.

Many times, the people I meet think that they have no rights when they are in a single-vehicle car accident.  This is not true at all.  In fact, an insured driver can submit a claim to his Michigan No Fault car insurance.  When someone is killed in a car accident, that claim is a No Fault survivor loss claim. 

A claim for survivor loss benefits includes a payment for a portion of the funeral costs.  The claim might also include benefits for financial support, if the accident victim was working, and for household services, if the victim did chores around the house.

A Detroit car accident has left a 9-year old girl in critical condition.  This accident occurred on March 4, 2009 when a car thief ran a stop sign at Redmond and Novara and crashed into her family’s car.  The girl’s 16-year old sister and her mother were also injured.  The thief stole the car from the driveway of a nearby home.

I am very sorry this accident occurred, and I hope everyone in the family is able to pull through.  I also hope the car thief is caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Although car accidents are always bad, an accident like this where the whole family is hurt is just terrible.  Fortunately, the family can submit a claim for Michigan No Fault benefits and get all their medical bills paid for.  This will help them deal with what would otherwise be huge medical bills.

In addition, if an accident victim is seriously injured, they can sue the other driver or if that driver cannot be identified, they can file a claim for uninsured motorist insurance.  Uninsured motorist coverage is optional coverage and not required by law.  A Michigan car accident lawyer could help review your insurance coverage and determine if you can file a lawsuit.

A fatal Kalamazoo County car accident has resulted in the death of one driver and left two others hospitalized.  Lucretia Meeth of Portage was driving on VW Avenue when she crossed the center line and crashed into on-coming traffic.  She was pronounced dead a short time later.  All four people in the other car were injured, and two were in critical condition.

I am very sorry this accident occurred.  I want to express my sympathies to the family of Lucretia Meeth.  I also hope the four other people are able to recover fully from their injuries.

The Meeth family should submit a claim for No Fault survivor loss benefits.  A survivor loss claim will give them money to pay for the funeral and will provide payments for loss of financial support and loss of household services.

The four other people who were hurt in this accident should also submit a claim for Michigan No Fault Insurance benefits.  No Fault insurance will cover their lost wages for a period of up to three years after the accident.  No Fault benefits also cover other expenses such as medical expenses.

The two people who are very critical injured may be able to file a lawsuit against Lucretia Meeth’s estate.  This would allow them to collect additional benefits, for example, lost wages for more than three years after the accident.  They should contact a Michigan car accident lawyer to discuss their case.

A Grand Rapids car accident has sent one person to the hospital.  The accident happened on March 17, 2009 when a person driving on Gavin Lake Avenue NE crashed through the intersection at Belding Road and hit a road sign and a row of trees.  The person was hospitalized with unknown injuries.

I hope this person is not seriously injured.  I want to express my sadness that this accident occurred.  I hope the accident victim is able to have a full recovery from whatever injuries he or she might have suffered.

Whenever someone is injured in a Michigan car accident, that person should file a claim for Michigan No Fault benefits.  These insurance benefits will cover medical expenses as long as they are reasonably related to the accident.  There is no limit on the amount or duration of the medical expenses, which means a person could even collect No Fault benefits for the rest of their lives if the expenses were reasonable and necessary in light of the person’s injuries.

No Fault insurance also covers lost wages, household services, attendant care, and more.  Anyone who has questions about their car accident should contact a Michigan car accident lawyer as soon as they can.
