Lansing Construction Worker Injured In Accident
There was a story in the news recently about a construction worker injured in a Lansing accident. The accident took place on May 16th around 2 a.m. According to police, a car struck a 22 year old construction worker while he was working on highway construction on eastbound M-6 near U.S. 131, near Grand Rapids. The construction worker was transported to Saint Mary’s Health Care. The driver who hit the young man is believed to be driving under the influence at the time of the accident.
I am very sorry to hear about this accident and hope the construction worker recovers from this accident without any permanent damages or injuries.
Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise car accident victims of their legal rights. For this type of construction accident in Michigan, the injured individual 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 person can claim these benefits even if they did not have a Michigan automobile insurance policy.
In addition, the injured construction worker may also have claims for personal injuries against the driver determined to be at fault. In this particular case, it would be the drunk driver. 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.
Another possible claim for anyone injured by the alleged drunk driver would be a potential Michigan dram shop caseagainst the seller or furnisher of the alcohol before the accident. At the very least, they should hire the best possible lawyer to look into these possibilities.
