Michigan Man Killed in Utah Car Accident
I read a tragic story about a Michigan man, Robert Jackson Sr. of Hazel Park, who suffered fatal injuries recently in a Utah car accident. His son, the driver of his vehicle, suffered serious injuries. Police believe that the driver of a pickup truck cut into their lane of traffic and caused the accident. It is still being investigated.
My thoughts and condolences go out to the family. I hope that the son has a speedy and complete recovery for his injuries. It is hard to imagine what the last week has been like for the family.
I was recently at a conference in Washington DC with a fellow car and truck accident lawyer from Salt Lake City, Utah. He described to me the number of accidents that occurred on many of the winding and curvy roads in Utah and the serious injuries related to those accidents. It seems to be a terrrible problem, especially because any detraction from the roadway can have terrible consequences.
The Michigan family does have legal rights related to this accident. A wrongful death lawsuit can be filed against the other driver and a claim would be made against his insurance company. No-fault insurance claims can also be filed for payment of funeral expenses, survivor loss benefits, medical expenses, wage loss benefits, and other claims even though the accident happened in Utah. There may also be other available claims and remedies available to the family.
