I read a tragic story about a Fatal Macomb County Bicycle-Truck Accident in today’s paper. According to police, a bicyclist was killed in Shelby Township when he was allegedly hit by a septic tanker truck on Van Dyke near 22 Mile Road. Police are still investigating the accident.

I  am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident and affer the family of the bicyclist my most heart-felt condolences.

A Jackson bicycle accident has critically injured a man.  The accident occurred as Joe Simpson was crossing E. Michigan Avenue near Orange Street on November 9, 2008.  He was left semiconscious after being hit by a minivan.  He remains in critical condition.

I am very sorry this accident occurred.  I hope that Joe Simpson is able to experience a quick and full recovery.

In an accident like this, a bicyclist would be entitled to Michigan No Fault benefits.  These benefits will pay for all the injured person’s medical expenses and a portion of his or her lost wages.  No Fault insurance will also provide transportation to and from medical treatment appointments for injuries caused by the accident.  No Fault benefits also include household replacement services and attendant care if the accident victim’s injuries are severe enough to warn them.  Finally, if Joe Simpsons’s injuries were very serious, he may be able to sue the driver that hit him, but he should have a lawyer evaluate his case before he decides to pursue a lawsuit.

A suspected drunk driver from Troy struck a bicyclist from Clawson last week.  The accident occurred near 14 Mile Road and Main Street when the driver pulled out of a parking spot near the Black Lotus Brewery.  The bicyclist had been riding his bicycle in the northbound lane of Main Street.  The man was transported to Beaumont Hospital with internal injuries and severe head trauma.  Weather conditions and roadside construction may have contributed to the accident, however, the driver also blew a 0.17 on a preliminary Breathalyzer test, which is over twice the legal limit.

This is a truly senseless accident and I was very sorry to have read about it.  I hope that the bicyclist has a complete and speedy recovery.

Too often, I encounter people who do not know what rights they have when they are involved in a car accident.  They frequently do not realize that Michigan law offers them some many recourses if they have been severely injured.  Michigan No Fault insurance provides for payment of all medical expenses including the hospital bills incurred at the time of the accident and any reasonable and necessary medical expense required by the accident.  No Fault insurance also covers a portion of lost wages, payment for household replacement services, and payment for supervised attendant care after a patient is released from the hospital.  In addition, people who are seriously injured can sue the other drivers for negligence, and when a drunk driver is involved, they may be able to sue the bar or restaurant that served the drunk driver alcohol.  The best way to determine someone’s rights after a car accident would be to consult an experienced Michigan car accident lawyer.

We represent individuals injured in Michigan motorcycle accidents.  These include cases for auto accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents, truck accidents, moped accidents, pedestrian accidents, bus accidents, and hit and run accidents.  Cases often also include all terrain vehicle (ATV) accidents, off road vehicles, and even snowmobile accidents.

It is often important to hire a Michigan motorcycle accident lawyer for your case shortly after your accident.  To see why this is often necessary, you can watch this video interview with attorney Daniel L. Buckfire right now.

As part of any Michigan motorcycle accident case or any Michigan auto insurance claim, it is necessary to obtain the police traffic accident report.  Our firm routinely obtains these for our clients who have been injured in an auto accident. 

These are available to you by simply contacting the police agency and requesting the report.  There is usually a small fee for the report.  For an accident that occurred in Zilwaukee, you should request the traffic crash report at the following location:

Zilwaukee Police Department
319 Tittabawassee
Saginaw, MI 48604
(989) 755-0931
Fax: (989) 755-0233

If your accident was investigated by the Michigan State Police, you need to request the report directly from that agency.  You can download the Michigan State Police form here that you must complete and submit to obtain the Michigan State Police report.  .
