Holland Township Bike Accident
A Holland Township bicycle accident has tragically killed an 11-year old boy. Gievanni Grimaldo was riding his bike to school when he was struck by two cars on Riley Street near Westland Street. Police are still investigating the accident, but their initial investigations have revealed neither driver was speeding and Gievanni was wearing dark clothing.
This is a terrible tragedy and my sympathies extend to the Grimaldo family and this boy’s friends. Anytime someone’s life is cut short by a car accident it is painful, but it is especially bad when the victim is so young.
My law firm represents people injured in car accidents and, too often, we represent people whose children are killed in car accidents. Many times, people think that children are not eligible for No Fault insurance benefits because they are too young to drive and do not have their own policies. This is completely false. In fact, as long as a child who has been injured or killed in a car accident lives with someone who has a No Fault policy, they are covered by that policy exactly as if they were the policyholder. In an accident like this one, that means the Grimaldo family could get a No Fault survivor loss benefit which would pay for a portion of the funeral costs and possibly other benefits as well. In addition, the Grimaldo family likely has a wrongful death claim against one or both of the drivers who hit Gievanni. The best thing they could do is contact a lawyer to assist them in handling their claims.
