Romeo Car Accident Tragically Kills Teen Age Driver
Today I read about a tragic Romeo car accident in which Chelsea Pascoe, a Romeo High School student, was killed. She was driving at the intersection of Campground Road and 31 Mile Road in Washington Township, Michigan when her car was struck by a pick-up truck driven by one of her fellow students. Three of her friends who were passengers in her car were also injured but are expected to survive. Police have not released the results of their investigation determining who was at fault in the accident.
This is an extremely tragic accident, especially since the victims are so young. My sympathies go out to the families of all students.
My firm represents injury victims and their families in similar cases. These cases are very sensitive to the victims and their families and are always very emotional for obvious reasons. As an attorney involved in these cases, I am very attuned to the emotions involved in the case.
In investigating a case for a client, I first determine what type of insurance benefits may cover the accident. This includes an analysis of both the liability policies and the Michigan No Fault insurance policies.
Even though there has been no determination of who is at fault, both drivers and all passengers involved are entitled to No Fault benefits, which include payment of all hospital bills and medical expenses, as well as a portion of the funeral expenses.
The injury victims may also have claims for their personal injuries suffered in the accident. Regardless of who was at fault, the three injured passengers would have a claim against either the driver of their car or the pick-up truck. The driver who was determined to be free of fault would also have a claim against the negligent driver. If it was determined that Chelsea Pescoe was not at fault, her family would also have a wrongful death claim against the driver of the pick-up truck.
