Detroit Police Officers Injured in Detroit Car Accident
A woman driving a red Ford Escort on I_94 lost control of her while talking on her cell phone and caused a five car accident. After losing control and crossing two lanes of traffic , she collided with a Detroit Police Car. Her car rolled and three other cars tried to avoid the initial collision. Two police officers and the driver of another car were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
I am very sorry hear that this accident happened and I hope that the police officers and other driver are able to recover completely from their injuries.
Michigan car accident victims have a number of legal rights. For this type of accident, the injured passengers and drivers should submit a claim for Michigan No-Fault insurance benefits. No-Fault benefits will cover their medical expenses, lost wages, attendant care, replacement services, and other benefits related to injuries suffered in the accident. Accident victims in Michigan can receive these benefits regardless of who was at fault in the accident. The injured passengers can claim these benefits even if they did not have an automobile insurance policy.
Furthermore, the injured Detroit Police officers may be entitled to Workers Compensation benefits in addition to No-fault benefits.
In addition, the injury victims may be able to file a lawsuit against the person or persons driving the cars. In this lawsuit, they could claim damages and compensation for the injuries suffered in the accident. The insurance company for the negligent driver typically pays a settlement for this type of case. An experienced Michigan car accident lawyer can assist the victim with this type of claim. Accident victims should not speak with the insurance adjuster for the negligent driver before consulting with an attorney.
