Our Michigan car accident lawyers are reporting a hit and run accident that involved a bicyclist.  According to police, a Pontiac G6 was driving down Middle Belt road in Farmington Hills when it struck and killed, John Salmen, who was riding his bike along the road.  The bicycle-car accident took place on Sunday, August 1st, around 11:00 p.m.  Police are still searching for the driver of the vehicle.

I am very sorry to hear about this fatal accident. My condolences go out the family of the deceased bicyclist and hope that the police are successful in finding the driver.

Fatal Muskegon County Bicycle Accident

Posted on September 09th 2009

I heard a tragic story on the radio over the weekend about a fatal Muskegon County bicycle accident that occurred Saturday. According to Muskegon Police, a bicyclist was travelling on an overpass over US-31 on Sherman Boulevard when he was allegedly struck by  car. The bicyclist was dead by the time emergency crews responded. 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. 

Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise accident victims of their legal rights. For this type of accident, the family members of the deceased bicyclist may be able to make a claim for Survivor Loss Benefits.  This can include payment of funeral expenses, lost wages, and loss of other services. 

In addition, the family of the car accident injury victim 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 family of the injured victim can claim damages and compensation for the injuries suffered in the accident. 

Also, the family members of the deceased bicyclist may have a claim for a Michigan wrongful death lawsuit against the driver that police determine was negligent and caused this accident. At the very least, the surviving family should hire the best possible lawyer to look into these possibilities. 

An experienced Michigan car accident lawyer can assist the victim with this type of claim.  Accident victims should not speak with the insurance adjuster for the negligent driver before consulting with an attorney.
