Royal Oak Hit and Run Accident
A Royal Oak hit and run accident has left a Detroit woman dead. The Detroit woman was riding her bicycle in the northbound lane of Woodward Avenue just south of Twelve Mile Road when she was struck and dragged a short distance before the motorist drove off. The bicyclist was taken to Beaumont Hospital, but unfortunately she was pronounced dead an hour later. Royal Oak Police are still investigating the accident and are requesting anyone with information about a white car with damage to its front end and possibly its windshield to call 248-246-3515.
This is a real tragedy that should not have happened. My sympathies are with the family of this woman.
My law firm represents accident victims and their families. Often, people struggling after an accident do not understand the No Fault system or what benefits they are entitled to under the law. In an accident like this one, if the woman either had or lived with someone who had No Fault insurance, her family can make a claim for survivor loss benefits, which will pay a portion of the funeral expenses and other expenses. In addition, if the driver is ever identified, the family can bring a wrongful death action against him or her since she was at fault for the accident. However, even if the driver is never found, if this woman either had or lived with someone who had uninsured motorist insurance coverage, her family can bring an uninsured motorist claim against her own insurance company.
