Grand Rapids Car Accident
A Grand Rapids car accident has resulted in serious injuries for a 29-year old Grandville man. Kevin Vangilder was seriously injured in a car accident that occurred at Eastern and Colbrook early morning on October 26, 2008. He was riding in the backseat of a car involved in an accident and was not wearing his seatbelt. He was thrown into the car’s windshield and is being treated for head injuries. The driver, a 39-year old woman from Grand Haven, suffered non-life threatening injuries. A front seat passenger was not injured in the accident. It is unclear what caused the accident, and police are still investigating, although alcohol is believed to be a factor.
It is a real tragedy that this accident happened and that the injuries were so severe. I hope that Kevin Vangilder and the driver are able to experience a full recovery from their injuries.
My law firm represents people injured in car accidents. Both people injured in this accident are eligible for Michigan No Fault insurance benefits. No Fault insurance will pay for all medical expenses and a portion of any wages lost because of the accident. No Fault insurance may also provide them with additional benefits depending on the severity of their injuries. Additionally, if Kevin Vangilder’s injuries are very severe, he may be able to sue his driver for additional damages. Although my clients are sometimes hesitant to sue someone they know, I always remind them that the lawsuit is actually against the driver’s insurance company. Finally, if alcohol was in fact involved, Kevin Vangilder may be able to sue a bar or restaurant that served the driver alcohol.
