Grand Traverse County Multiple Vehicle Accident
There was a story on the news about a Grand Traverse County multiple vehicle accident due to slippery conditions this morning, December 4, in Green Lake Township. According to police, a pick-up truck driver allegedly lost control due to the hazardous road conditions on US-31, near Betsie River Road, crossed the center line and hit an oncoming car. Police further state that three people came over to help the victims of the first crash when a third vehicle allegedly lost control due to the slippery conditions and hit the original crash and one of the people who had come to help. Several people sustained serious injuries and were taken to a local hospital for treatment. Police are still investigating this accident.
I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident and hope all the injured parties have a complete and full recovery from their serious injuries.
Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights. For this type of auto accident in Michigan, any injured parties, including the pedestrians, can 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. The injured parties can claim these benefits even if they did not have a Michigan automobile insurance policy.
In addition, the car accident injury victims may also have claims for personal injuries against any driver determined to be at fault in this auto accident. The insurance company for the negligent driver typically pays a settlement for this type of case. In this lawsuit, the injured victims can claim damages and compensation for the injuries suffered in the accident. At the very least, they should hire the best possible lawyer to look into these possibilities.
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.
