Battle Creek Car Accident
A Battle Creek car accident has left a teenager with critical injuries. Sheldon Westworth, 17, of Pennfield underwent surgery for head injuries following a car accident on March 31, 2009 in the parking lot of the high school. Sheldon Westworth suffered his injuries after riding on the hood of a car and being thrown from it when the car turned. The car had been going fast enough to squeal its tires at one point. Police are still investigating the accident.
I am very sorry this accident occurred. I hope that Sheldon Westworth is able to recover completely from his injuries.
Sheldon’s family should submit a claim for Michigan No Fault insurance benefits. No Fault benefits will cover Sheldon’s medical expenses, for as long as the expenses continue to be reasonable and necessary, even if this is for the rest of his life. Attendant care benefits will pay a professional or a family member to provide supervised care to Sheldon after he is released from the hospital. Case management benefits will pay a case manager a reasonable rate to coordinate Sheldon’s medical treatment.
In addition, Sheldon Westworth or his guardian are likely able to file a lawsuit against the person driving the car. In this lawsuit, Sheldon’s lawyer would have to prove the driver was negligent and that the driver’s negligence caused Sheldon’s injuries. An experienced Michigan car accident attorney will be able to discuss Sheldon’s case with his family.

This blog needs to be edited. The driver of the car is my brother and he did not squeal his tires at all. Why don’t you get some reliable information before posting this kind of shit. Excuse my language but this is ridiculous. They are best friends and no charges will be pressed!
Sophie,
The article in the Battle Creek Enquirer quoted a witness who said the driver accelerated quickly enough to squeal the tires and rapidly applied the brakes. It also mentions that the matter was turned over to the prosecutor’s office for review.
