Hasting Car Accident
I saw a story on the news today about a Hastings Car Accident that seriously injured two people. According to police, a driver and his passenger were traveling to the intersection of Mill and Hanover Streets when the driver allegedly lost control on a curve in the road then hit a power pole and crashed into a stone wall. Both the driver, a 22-year-old Hastings man, and the passenger, a 20-year-old Hastings woman, were airlifted to a Grand Rapids Hospital. Police are still investigating the accident and believe that alcohol may be involved.
I am very sorry to hear about this tragic auto accident and wish the injured driver and passenger the fullest and speediest recovery possible.
Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise accident victims their legal rights. For this type of auto accident in Michigan, the injured passenger can submit a claim for Michigan No-Fault insurance benefits. No-Fault benefits will cover her medical expenses, lost wages, attendant care, replacement services, and other benefits related to injuries suffered in the accident. The injured woman can claim these benefits even if she did not have a Michigan automobile insurance policy.
In addition, the car accident injury victims may also have claims for personal injuries against any driver determined to be at fault in this auto accident. 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 case against the seller or furnisher of the alcohol before the accident. At the very least, the injured parties should hire the best possible lawyer to look into these possibilities.
An experienced Michigan car accident lawyer can assist the victims with this type of claim. Auto accident victims should not speak with the insurance adjuster for the negligent driver before consulting with an attorney.
